HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2000

ebaseOne Corporation (OTCBB:EBAS), an emerging leader in the Application Infrastructure and Service Provider (AISP) market, announced today that it will provide its AIP solution for the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association's (PESA) searchable database. By utilizing ebaseOne's advanced hosting infrastructure, PESA is now able to link its 150 individual member customers together in one informative database. PESA is the latest of 37 companies already announced by ebaseOne as an AISP customer.

"I am pleased to announce the addition of PESA to our AISP customer base," says Charles Skamser, president and CEO of ebaseOne Corporation. "Our top-notch sales and services organization delivered a complete hosting service for PESA's business-to-business solution through our advanced international IP-based telecommunications network. PESA's online database is now an effective Web-based solution taking advantage of the best technology and services available to-date."

PESA's newly Web-enabled Service Point Directory now makes it possible for potential customers to search for member companies either by company name, product, service or geographic location. The creation of a searchable database on PESA's Web site means that information on its member companies' products, services and personnel will be more easily accessed and current than in the past.

"With the help of ebaseOne and almost 70 years experience in the oilfield service and supply industry and an extensive database of products and services in its Service Point Directory, the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association is uniquely positioned to provide a valuable link between its member companies and their customers," says PESA Chairman Rhys J. Best, president and CEO of Lone Star Technologies Inc. "Through a searchable list of products and services, customers can identify potential suppliers and click through to their online catalogues or Web sites. We believe that increasing our members' exposure via the Internet is just one way the Association is helping members use the latest technology to their advantage."

About PESA

The Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association (PESA) comprises equipment manufacturers, wellsite service companies and supply companies serving the drilling and production segments of the petroleum industry. Founded in 1933 as the American Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association, its role then was to assist the federal government in preparing a fair practice code for the oilfield equipment industry. With that objective accomplished, the Association's charter members realized the value of keeping it intact as a trade association. The present name was adopted in 1938. Today, PESA has 150 member companies, large and small, active in the Association.
