--Using Sequoia's XML Portal Server, TREEV Will Extend

Enterprise Boundaries With Personalized Content

Aggregation, Distribution and Supply Chain Applications--

TREEV(R), Inc. (NASDAQ/NMS:TREV), a leader in delivering integrated e-business content management and workflow solutions, today announced a new agreement with Sequoia Software Corporation, the leading provider and innovator of XML-powered software for creating interactive e-business portals. Through this new relationship, TREEV will integrate Sequoia's XML Portal Server(TM) (XPS) as a core component of its strategic e-business solutions. Using the new integrated solution, customers will increase their ability to access and leverage information stored within TREEV products, legacy information spanning multiple platforms and dynamic Internet-based services and repositories.

This partnership will combine TREEV's broad range of content and process management solutions with Sequoia's interactive e-business platform to provide customers with a faster, more effective way of interacting with stored information. With this solution, businesses will be able to provide their employees, customers and partners with personalized Web pages to access and act on information aggregated from within an organization's valuable corporate resources, external Web content and supply chain partners.

"Personalization has become critical for e-business platforms as user attention, driven by content relevance, is the new battleground," said Andrew Warzecha, senior program director at META Group. "Vendors delivering on this concept, like the recent TREEV/Sequoia partnership, provide a clear advantage to users developing I-net solutions intended to extend along supply/service chains."

With this partnership, TREEV will tackle one of the largest hurdles of e-business-- managing disparate content from diverse sources, whether destined for corporate or Internet users. Typically, the management and delivery of precise, relevant corporate content from the Web remains a challenge for many companies. However, this technology addresses the process automation and content management challenge with a solution that organizes existing corporate content concurrently with Web content. This combined solution will meet a growing need for software products that can sift through the increasing volumes of corporate and Internet-based information to identify, facilitate and automate e-business opportunities. By using XML, the combined technologies of TREEV and Sequoia XPS will be capable of integrating, extracting and aggregating user-defined data and content from any variety of disparate information sources, enabling access and interaction with the most relevant information available and personalizing it according to individual user or supply chain partner needs.

"We are extremely excited about working with Sequoia. Their interactive e-business portal server is a strategic enabling application for TREEV's product solution offerings," said Tom Wilson, TREEV's president and chief executive officer. "This partnership will eliminate the barriers between corporate and Web-specific content and will empower our customers and partners to transform the value of knowledge into a Web asset, regardless of data or repository type."

"Sequoia is very pleased TREEV has selected XPS as the engine for its next-generation interactive e-content applications," said Mark Wesker, president of Sequoia Software. "TREEV's solid reputation in the financial services sector and award-winning solutions make them an ideal partner. We are thrilled to move forward with this relationship."
