FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. – August 15, 2000 - Personable.com, the first application service provider (ASP) offering users the ability to subscribe to a full spectrum of popular software and online courses over the Internet, today announced an agreement with ePanacea.com Inc., one of the largest wholesale distributors for the ASP market.

The range of ePanacea’s distributor partners, including ISPs, CLECs, portals and broadband companies, will have access to 19 new software packages through Personable.com. The titles available for small and medium-sized enterprises over the Internet include Microsoft Office 2000 Suites, ACT! 2000 and Goldmine.

Adding the range of software titles through Personable.com enhances the existing horizontal and vertical programs already offered through ePanacea’s Application Gateway Exchange, which gives distributors access to a variety of software titles for rental over the Internet.

"ePanacea gains a material advantage through this partnership, in the ability to provision the comprehensive software offerings of Personable.com to our channel resellers for bundling with their existing wares," says John R. Festa, acting ePanacea CEO. "The broad selection of popular applications offered by Personable.com perfectly complements the high-volume distribution capabilities of our channel partners."

Personable.com delivers its services through a Windows 2000 virtual desktop available through almost any computer connected to the Internet. Through Personable.com’s proprietary Account Manager, users can easily perform many of the services usually handled by IT departments. Software can be rolled out or upgraded instantly, new users can be added or deleted from a company’s network with the click of a mouse, offices can be connected with a virtual private network instantly, and billing information can be tracked online at any time.

“By partnering with us, ePanacea can offer its distributors software, performance and service that delivers what small and medium-sized businesses need,” said Personable.com CEO Benjamin Chou. “We look forward to offering our unique platform to a wider variety of users.”
