SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 29, 2000

Uniscape(TM), the leader in Web globalization solutions for ebusiness, today announced that CIJ America, Inc. (Computer Institute of Japan) was standardizing on Uniscape's Web-based multilingual management platform for its Web and software localization projects. CIJ will use Uniscape to create multilingual Web sites and localize content for its clients in Japan.

"Uniscape's unique Web-based localization management technology platform will dramatically decrease our costs and improve our time to market for localizing and managing multilingual Web sites and software projects," said Albert Matias, General Manager at CIJ America. "Now we can create a virtual localization team that can manage Web localization processes and monitor the progress of various projects from multiple locations."

Uniscape's award-winning online multilingual management technologies and open marketplace are the Web's most advanced solutions for ebusiness globalization. The Uniscape solution drives down globalization and project management costs for multilingual Web sites while achieving full visibility into the progress and status of all aspects of the localization process. Uniscape's unique Web-based platform includes a centralized multilingual repository that allows global companies to save and reuse localized corporate content across the entire enterprise, and among multiple translation houses. Using Uniscape, businesses can update files, detect the content that has changed and automate the reuse of earlier translations that are still applicable. The system also includes workflow automation, revision tracking and detailed reporting to simplify the project management process and coordinate the efforts of translators around the world.

"We are very pleased to initiate our activities in the Asian market with a respected company such as CIJ," said Alex Pressman, president of Uniscape. "CIJ's local market expertise and blue-chip client base will jumpstart Uniscape's expansion in Japan and throughout Asia."

CIJ will use the Uniscape platform initially with its internal localization staff in Japan, and will use the system to manage the projects over the Web from its subsidiary, CIJ America, in San Jose, CA.
