PRESS RELEASE
San Jose, California
July 01, 2003

Weberon, the leading eCollaboration vendor for the Small and Medium Business market, signs an OEM agreement with IBM, the leading middleware platform for collaboration. This covers a broad range of IBM products including Domino, Sametime, and Everyplace family of servers, giving Weberon the rights to bundle BSUITE* family of products with IBM middleware, for distribution world-wide. This gives Weberon access to IBM's global network of marketing, technical support and distribution resources for the range of products covered by this agreement. Weberon was selected by IBM because of the tremendous value that Weberon's BSUITE line of products bring to the IBM middleware on which it resides.

Weberon's BSUITE line of products offer collaborative solutions to small and medium sized companies, which can be deployed as plug-and-play appliances within a corporate network. This greatly reduces deployment time and offers an instant infrastructure for collaboration across the enterprise.

'BSUITE Sharex' is a plug-and-play appliance offering secure IM and web-conferencing for organizations who need this infrastructure within their corporate network. 'BSUITE Intranet' offers an instant Intranet consisting of applications to manage employees, Company wide contact management, Document Management, and customer retention.

"Our products bring eCollaboration to Small and Medium businesses that cannot afford the customization and extended administrative costs that larger enterprises can afford" said Praveen Kumar, CEO, Weberon. "Bringing the collaborative tools used by world's top companies to smaller enterprises is the next big change that we see in this market, and we are leading the charge in this space."

"This agreement with IBM is a significant endorsement of the value that Weberon brings to Small and Medium businesses" said Shaj Mathew, Senior Vice President, Sales& Business Development, Weberon. "Together, we intend to define and dominate the market niche that is exploding as small and medium businesses strive to have all the collaborative benefits that their larger counterparts are enjoying, without paying huge premiums"

Weberon's BSUITE family of products allows small and medium businesses to set up 'collaborative infrastructures' for the enterprise, providing a secure mechanism for team members to communicate, collaborate and coordinate with fellow colleagues, partners, and customers, FROM ANYWHERE.
