NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 3, 2001

Mirror Worlds Technologies, Inc. (MWT) today announced that its Scopeware information management solution has been optimized to work with business class multifunction solutions (MFPs) from Lexmark International, Inc.

The combination of Mirror World's Scopeware system and Lexmark's MFPs will assist customers in the U.S. with distributed document capture, archiving, searching, and retrieving capabilities for hard-copy documents.

"In an era of information overload, customers need to adopt solutions that enhance productivity and profitability via the most comprehensive, time-efficient information collection, management and distribution system available on the market today," says Michael Satow, CEO of MWT.

"Companies are generating more electronic and paper-based information than ever before and it is posing an enormous challenge to both business efficiency and profitability," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services division. "The combination of Lexmark's MFPs with Mirror World's innovative user interface helps customers to capture, print, manage, and share information in multiple forms more easily so that productivity and profits can be maximized."

Released in March of 2001, MWT's Scopeware unites all types of information on the corporate network --emails, text files, PDF's, web pages, spreadsheets, etc. -- into simple, time-ordered, browsable "streams" of information that can be accessed from any web-connected PC, mobile phone or wireless information device. Lexmark's multifunction solutions, which include a printer and multifunction option that allows for copying, faxing and color network scanning, along with Lexmark's Document Distributor software helps workers quickly and easily distribute documents to multiple computers, network printers, fax machines, databases and e-mail systems to improve productivity and reduce cycle-time within paper intensive business processes.

Designed by David Gelernter, Yale University professor of computer science, renowned author and Chief Scientist of MWT, Scopeware sits on top of most operating systems and translates the file-folder hierarchy into "streams" of information that can be accessed by any PC or mobile device. Intuitive and easy to use, Scopeware will change the way America does business, fundamentally improving today's data access and management methods by:

- Liberating information from artificial device- and application-driven
divisions, such as the segregation of email and messaging from other
information within networks.

- Automatically organizing digital information when you need it instead of when
you create it - without the inefficiencies and burdens of file names, drives,
and directories.

Allowing people to interact with all their information in the same simple, intuitive way across all devices, wireline or wireless.
