MODCOMP Integration & Internet Solutions

MODCOMP and Information Architects Join Forces

Alliance combines enterprise application integration solution with powerful business integration tools for comprehensive Web and wireless solution

April 24, 2001, Ft. Lauderdale, FL - MODCOMP® (www.modcomp.com), a leader in eBusiness and mBusiness technology solutions and Information Architects® (iA) (NASDAQ: IARC), providers of XML-based real-time aggregation and syndication solutions for driving eBusiness across the Net, announced today that they have formed a strategic alliance to offer broader solutions to their collective client bases. Under the terms of the agreement, MODCOMP will market iA's dynamic business integration software, SmartCode®, to its clients who need to manage real-time content to and from any Internet device; and iA will promote MODCOMP's products and services to clients that are migrating enterprise applications to the Web and wireless space.

MODCOMP's ViewMax® software and its internationally recognized team of eBusiness consultants allow companies to expand their reach and improve productivity by leveraging existing enterprise applications for access to legacy data via Web browsers and standard wireless devices. ViewMax host-to-Web integration software helps preserve a company's IT investment as it supports the development of Internet-to-mainframe integration solutions while expending a fraction of the time and resources that a typical system redesign would take.

With a similar commitment to rapid deployment and resource efficiency, iA's SmartCode products enable the real-time exchange of all data formats directly from any data source and provide simultaneous access to multiple data sources from any location. SmartCode offers customers the ability to syndicate to virtually any Internet device, such as wireless and palm technology, and interface with nearly every existing application, while maintaining the look and feel of their own site.

"Speed, efficiency and excellence are critical to us and to our clients. MODCOMP's ability to integrate existing applications with the latest communication technology rapidly and seamlessly is a perfect fit for our strategy of responding quickly and completely to our clients' eCommerce needs," said Robert Gruder, iA CEO and chairman. "We are extremely pleased to be working with MODCOMP to provide our customers comprehensive eBusiness and mobile solutions."

"Information Architects' robust front end business integration software is a best of breed solution for our clients who need the ability to update content dynamically across a variety of digital sources," said Rob Crigler, MODCOMP's eCommerce division vice president of sales and marketing. "And iA's SmartCode is the best we've seen - meeting our strict standard for efficiency, speed of deployment, and compatibility across multiple diverse platforms."
