Market Wire, March, 2005

Clickmarks, the pioneer in presentation level Integration (PLI) and rapid portlet creation, today announced an alliance with Plumtree Software (NASDAQ: PLUM) to provide Clickmarks' Portlet Factory for building Plumtree-powered portal applications. The Clickmarks Portlet Factory enables Plumtree's customers to build portlets that access content and functionality from Web, mainframe and client server applications, which are deployed to the Plumtree Corporate Portal. The Portlet Factory helps enable end users of Plumtree Software to shorten development cycles by simplifying and increasing the speed of integration.

The Portlet Factory for Plumtree Corporate Portal has been integrated with the Plumtree Enterprise Web Development Kit and with Plumtree's JSR 168 portlet container making it easy for Plumtree customers to use.

"We are very excited for Clickmarks to join Plumtree's Synergy Alliance channel partner program. This partnership provides our customers with a great set of software and tools to enable them to rapidly and cost-effectively build integration components for Plumtree's portal platform," said Jay Simons, Vice President of product marketing at Plumtree Software. "With this solid technology pairing, customers can quickly integrate their existing systems without the need to re-code, a tremendous benefit when building and deploying composite applications."

Clickmarks Portlet Factory has been deployed at a number of Plumtree customers including the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) Division of the U.S. Geological Survey.

"Clickmarks technology provided us with a set of powerful tools to aggregate both information and application functionality from our research partners," said Mike Frame, director of IT at NBII. "It enabled us to build and enhance large sections of the NBII portal in record time, and at very low cost."

"We are delighted to formalize our partnership with Plumtree, a long-time leader and innovator in the portal software market," said Umair Khan, chairman and CEO of Clickmarks. "The success of our partnership comes on the heels of significant uptake in our portal integration solutions with recent blue chip customer wins, including NTT Docomo, Verizon Wireless, Network Appliance, NTT Neomit, NDS Japan, The City and County of San Francisco, U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Navy."

The Clickmarks Portlet Factory includes a visual application design tool that enables programmers of various skill levels to quickly build applications, Web services and portlets, using Clickmarks' patented Presentation Level Integration(TM) (PLI) technology. Clickmarks is offering Plumtree customers a free introductory license of the Clickmarks Portlet Factory for a limited time.
