KnowNow Announces New Enterprise 2.0 Solutions; New Solutions Connect Employees With Critical Information Instantly and Increase Collaboration Around Material Business Events.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- KnowNow, Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise 2.0 solutions, today announced three new solutions designed to connect people with critical information instantly: Market Intelligence, Corporate Communications, and Alternative Marketing Channel. Based on KnowNow's leading Enterprise Syndication Solutions (ESS) platform, the new solutions eliminate the latency that prevent most organizations from taking action when opportunities first arise. The solutions are offered as on-premise software or as a hosted solution, and customers can get started immediately.

"Information overload is an increasing problem," said Dave Holvey, Senior Vice President of Retail Marketing, Wells Fargo Bank. "We deal with a huge volume of internal information that is constantly growing, changing and being updated. Working with KnowNow's Enterprise 2.0 solutions has allowed us to turn this information overload into an information advantage. KnowNow is a winner for any company that needs a better solution for delivering timely, relevant and actionable information in today's competitive business environment."

--Support for RSS/Atom/XML feeds

--Support for syndication of non-RSS content sources

--Support for multiple-thousands of users within and outside the enterprise.

--Support for millions of customers when used as an alternative marketing channel.

--Enterprise-class security that controls views into different kinds of data/information depending on the users' rights.

--Partner capabilities that extend communications within and outside of corporate firewalls easily.

--Automated content filtering that reduces informational clutter and connects people with the information that is truly most relevant to them.
