Partner Press Release
Viquity Announces Support For RosettaNet B2B eCommerce Standard

Viquity Now RosettaNet Solution Partner

For Release June 13, 2000

SUNNYVALE, CA --

Viquity Corporation, the emerging leader for outsourced eBusiness infrastructure to automate production procurement, today announced that RosettaNet has selected Viquity as a Solution Partner. The Viquity Dynamic Commerce Network™ (DCN) will support the RosettaNet XML-based e-business process standards -- aiding companies in adopting the RosettaNet interfaces.

The Viquity DCN provides a complete eBusiness platform for direct procurement transactions. Purchase order management, demand forecasting, invoicing and other inter-enterprise processes can be automated and streamlined by the Viquity DCN. The Viquity Dynamic Commerce Network incorporates two core technologies: a guaranteed-delivery Internet document transport service, Viquity Basis™, and an intelligent management hub, Viquity Nexus™. Private commerce networks hosted on the Viquity infrastructure can rapidly add and change supply chain partners, can easily include partners of all sizes and levels of sophistication, and can interoperate across the various emerging XML standards, existing legacy standards, and proprietary interfaces.

RosettaNet is an independent, self-funded, non-profit consortium dedicated to the development and deployment of standard electronic business interfaces. These standards form a common eBusiness language, aligning processes between supply chain partners on a global basis.

"The successful deployment of RosettaNet standards for e-business requires new and innovative solutions," said Jennifer Hamilton, CEO of RosettaNet. "Solution Partners like Viquity are adding tremendous speed to the adoption of RosettaNet standards by developing services that allow supply chain partners to implement RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes™ (PIPs™) efficiently."

"Viquity is committed to revolutionizing the way that organizations conduct inter-enterprise eBusiness," said Chris M. Gretjak, Viquity chief executive officer. "Viquity's intelligent hub provides a common data language among business partners - a language that supports RosettaNet and other emerging business process communications standards. We endorse the work that RosettaNet is doing and look forward to working with RosettaNet to ensure its continued success."

Viquity will demonstrate its RosettaNet solution at the RosettaNet eConcert Meeting June 27-29 in Chicago.
