LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2000

ExactOne's real-time search of Web databases becomes

more accessible through partnership with wireless content provider

ExactOne ( http://www.exactOne.com ) today joined the mobile Internet revolution by announcing the availability of the Internet's first search engine for dynamic data on personal wireless devices, such as Internet-enabled cellular phones and Palm computers.

Now, ExactOne users will be able to conduct real-time searches of Web databases even when they are on the road and away from a desktop PC.

Wireless users will be able to track specific job offerings in cities they visit, or do a last-minute price check on a used car from a dealer's lot. The new site, which was mobilized by Everypath Corporation of Santa Clara, CA, will be unveiled today at an invitation-only media event during Internet World, Los Angeles.

Everypath won the business over other players according to Bernard Ferret, ExactOne's Chairman and CEO, by understanding the importance of extremely rapid time-to-market. "Everypath demonstrated that they could mobilize our Web services rapidly, and yet still maintain the integrity and security of our services," Ferret said.

"This compares to several months for some of the competitive solutions we looked at - Everypath was the only vendor we looked at who could truly replicate the powerful and accurate experience we offer in the way most appropriate on small and mobile screens."

"We are very pleased to announce ExactOne as one of our charter customers," said Everypath Chief Marketing Officer Marcia Kadanoff. "ExactOne's reach in finding such precise items as jobs, cars and homes for users is a valuable asset and a natural fit for wireless devices."

The partnership with Everypath takes ExactOne's leading technology in virtual inventory solutions beyond the confines of PCs and allows for the delivery of accurate and reliable searches of Web databases to mobile consumers.
