Business Wire, March 10, 2006

POTTSVILLE, Pa. -- EXTOL International, a leading provider of B2B integration software applications for both internal and B2B requirements, announced today it has been positioned in Gartner, Inc.'s "Magic Quadrant for B2B Gateway Providers, 1Q06." (1)

"We are pleased to be positioned by Gartner for our vision and performance in the marketplace", stated Dennis Bonagura, President and COO of EXTOL. "This is the third Gartner Magic Quadrant to evaluate EXTOL in the past year. We have also been placed in the Integration Backbone MQ (15 April, 2005)(2) and the PIM MQ (30 December 2005)." (3)

Mr. Bonagura continued, "We believe this reflects the success we have achieved in helping our customers deliver business results with integration technology such as the visibility to improve order accuracy, forecast accuracy and inventory levels, as well as the agility needed to rapidly respond to new business opportunities and demands."

Garland Duvall, CTO at Datatrac, a shared network specializing in expedited freight delivery, logistics and transactions, recently deployed the EXTOL Business Integrator and greatly reduced the time needed to fully integrate their network capabilities into the applications and process environments of their customers. According to Mr. Duvall, "It costs us less to get the job done fast, and that saves our customers money. If we did not have the reusability component of the EXTOL solution, we would not be achieving the business growth goals of our company."
