For Collaboration&uot;

Eloquent, Inc., the leader in Web-based rich media business communications solutions, today announced that its rich media communications server has been selected by KMWorld Magazine as one of the top knowledge management (KM) products of 1999.

The award, which appears in the January 2000 edition of the industry-leading magazine, honors the Eloquent Communications Server as a top &uot;Gateway to Collaboration&uot;.

KMWorld evaluated more than 150 products for this award and based its decision on the products' ability to provide exceptional value and address customers' needs.

&uot;Eloquent made a difference in 1999 by delivering value to its customers,&uot; said Dan Bolita, Executive Editor of KMWorld. &uot;Usually we prefer to spotlight the end user's success rather than the technology that makes it happen. However, over the course of a year, we get to look at hundreds of products. The top products of 1999 have one common trait - they all lead customers toward the ultimate goal of a real solution.&uot;

Eloquent released the latest version of its rich media enterprise server, the Eloquent Communications Server 5.0 in December 1999.

&uot;KMWorld's prestigious award reaffirms what a growing number of the world's leading companies have already learned--Eloquent's rich media communications solutions are powering high-value communications applications with dramatic returns on investment,&uot; said Jane Beule, Vice President of Marketing, Eloquent.
