Atlanta, GA., July 14, 2000 - Personable.com, the first ASP offering users the ability to subscribe to a full spectrum of popular software and online courses over the Internet, sees the ASP marketplace growing even faster, with partnership programs, robust platforms and technologies playing key roles.

These opportunities should be expanded with the announcement of Microsoft Corp.'s ASP strategy at the Fusion 2000 trade show in Atlanta, which will make companies like Personable.com even more attractive to companies that are exploring ASP opportunities. Together with the announcement of Microsoft Corp.'s ASP strategy at the Fusion 2000 trade show in Atlanta, Personable.com resellers and subscribers will have increased options in software.

Companies who are interested in the ASP market can take advantage of Personable.com's Private Label Program, which allows large-scale resellers to offer Personable service branded with their own corporate identification. With Personable.com's Private Label Program, partners can deliver seamless ASP services and provide a unique solution to their customers in a cost-effective and timely fashion.

Personable offerings include MS Office and MS Exchange. Exchange 2000 provides a foundation for services such as messaging, instant messaging, unified messaging and collaboration. Combined with Office 2000 – the world's leading desktop productivity application – it provides a complete knowledge worker services solution.

"Instead of creating a new system, negotiating with software vendors, and developing a service for end-users, companies can partner with Personable.com and be a player instantly," said Benjamin Chou, Personable.com CEO. "Small and medium-sized companies are a fast growing market for resellers that provide integrated business solutions. Personable.com services enable partners to create additional revenue stream, and more important, deliver meaningful benefits to their small business customers."

"Sites like Personable.com are an important piece of the company's strategy for the ASP market," said Dwight Krossa, director of marketing at Microsoft Corp. "We are proud to work with Personable.com as it delivers Microsoft software to customers through its hosted service offering. Today's announcement provides extensive new opportunities for partners and customers to enter this marketplace."

In addition to Microsoft Office 2000 desktop applications, Personable.com will offer Microsoft Exchange 2000 when the product becomes available on the market. The Exchange Server is a messaging platform that provides e-mail, scheduling, on-line forms and the tools for custom collaboration and messaging-service applications. Adding Exchange to Personable.com's current offering will position Personable.com to be a one- stop desktop ASP solution.
