SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2001

XML/ICE-Based Solution Supports Seamless Information

Flow Within and Between Businesses

Kinecta(TM) Corporation, the global leader in content syndication and aggregation infrastructure solutions, today announced the general availability of Kinecta Syndicator Lite, the industry's first free content distribution application. First announced in December 2000, the software is available immediately for download at http://www.kinecta.com.

Based on the company's industry-leading Kinecta Interact(TM) system, Kinecta Syndicator Lite enables businesses to establish up to five open, dedicated channels for automating content distribution, eliminating the reliance on manually intensive and error prone distribution methods such as e-mail or FTP (file transfer protocol). It also avoids unscalable and inflexible click-back methods such as linking and framing.

"We are committed to providing solutions that meet or exceed our customers' requirements for ongoing content distribution," said David Mathison, Kinecta chairman and chief executive officer. "Syndicator Lite enables businesses to quickly get started building a distribution network and will prepare them for ongoing information exchange and collaboration throughout their value chain."

Kinecta's infrastructure solutions enable companies to establish multiple points of presence instead of relying on single destination sites, intranets or Extranets that force suppliers, partners, customers or employees to access their content. Like Kinecta Interact, Syndicator Lite manages delivery of multiple content types, formats, content sources and delivery frequencies. It automates the distribution of content in a wide range of file formats, including XML, HTML, text, PDF, graphics, audio, video and streaming media. Businesses that need access to more advanced functionality and support for larger distribution networks can easily upgrade to the enterprise-class Kinecta Interact platform.

Kinecta's solutions allow companies to establish a wide range of automated distribution processes, including the ongoing delivery of content such as financial data, manufacturing drawings or product catalogs to partners or suppliers. Companies can automate delivery of industry news to partner sites to increase reach and extend brand recognition.

Availability

Kinecta Syndicator Lite is available immediately as a free download from http://www.kinecta.com. For easy set up, Kinecta recommends running Syndicator Lite with Windows NT and the Microsoft Access database. For experienced information professionals, Syndicator Lite can be run with Sun Solaris or Linux and a relational database. Support can be purchased online.
