SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2000

V2Commerce Corp.(TM) (www.v2commerce.com) today announced that it is a Silver Sponsor of the ZD Studios ASP Summit in San Jose, February 14-15, 2000. During the Summit, the firm is launching the public beta of its groundbreaking Web-based based Customer Relationship Management service, which leverages the power of the Web to provide a big-company CRM solution to small and midsize businesses at a fraction of the traditional price.

The V2Commerce solution enables small and midsize e-businesses to engage their customers in interactive communications, which then leads to successful e-marketing, e-sales, and e-service customer relationships. Using V2Commerce, firms new to CRM will suddenly find they can actively market products and services to existing and prospective customers in a highly targeted way, without any specialized software or hardware, using any standard Web browser.

&uot;Participating in the ASP Summit demonstrates our company's commitment to the emerging ASP marketplace,&uot; said Neil Greer, CEO and president of V2Commerce Corp. &uot;Our service demonstrates how far we can take the ASP model beyond the old `rent-a-program' formula. The ASP Summit is a valuable forum for providers and users to come together and share innovative ideas. By organizing the ASP Summit, ZD Studios is helping to advance this rapidly evolving ASP industry and incubating more effective solutions for doing business online.&uot;

&uot;ZD Studios has created a forum that allows ASP industry leaders to examine and provide strategic solutions to best serve online businesses,&uot; said Maggie McDonald, general manager, ASP Summit series worldwide. &uot;As e-commerce continues to expand, it is crucial to understand customer needs, and V2Commerce Corp. provides an easy and cost-effective CRM solution that wouldn't otherwise be affordable to small and midsize e-businesses.&uot;

As the ASP industry continues to emerge and develop, e-business executives are realizing the need to examine current business models and explore new, more cost-effective solutions. Web-based services being developed by companies like V2Commerce Corp. now offer businesses an approach that fits their current needs while providing affordable scalability as their customer bases expand.

V2Commerce account owners pay a low monthly fee for services, starting at $29.95, that enable them to manage their customer information and communications with sophistication and power.
