Program to Increase Traffic, Build Brand Awareness,

and Open New Sales Channels

X-Collaboration Software Corporation (XCSC), a leading provider of business-to-business (B2B) collaboration services, today announced that it has launched an affiliate program for its new X-Community service, one of the first high-end, Internet-based services to focus on the entire collaborative process, from information gathering to document distribution.

By joining XCSC's Affiliate Program, potential partners immediately enhance their Web sites and increase their opportunity to generate added revenue. Affiliates can earn up to 10 percent commissions from visitors they direct to X-Community who ultimately purchase a Business Center. Also, the affiliate earns $1 every time a visitor on their site signs up for a free X-Community membership.

"X-Collaboration's Affiliate Program is one of our key partnership opportunities to help build brand awareness," said Doug Levin, President & CEO, X-Collaboration Software Corp. "The program increases XCSC's visibility to Web users who may be unfamiliar with business-to-business collaboration services and it also gives our affiliate channel the chance to receive compensation for driving visitors to our site."

"X-Collaboration's new Web site, X-Community, is a perfect fit for our `Web Collaboration/Enterprise Portal' category," said Ces Manapsal at eProjectCentral.com. "In fact, we've given it an "excellent" rating based on its capabilities. By including the new X-Community link on our site, we will not only be able to offer a valuable service to our users, but we can also take advantage of X-Collaboration's Affiliate Program to bring revenue into our company."

The process to becoming an affiliate is fast, easy, and free. Web site owners can sign up online at www.x-community.com/PARTNER/partner_index.html, or for more information, contact affiliate@x-collaboration.com. X-Collaboration qualifies applicants based on their business-to-business focus and high site traffic. Once the application is approved, affiliates receive a starter kit that includes links, banners, and buttons. Affiliates can monitor the number and the dollar amount of X-Community sales generated on a 24x7 basis.

X-Community's key capabilities include: knowledge management, document management, project management, and resource management; integrated information services; legacy database migration; personal Web pages/Web drives, and industry-leading security and reliability.
