XML-formatted Real-Time News Feeds with Sequoia XML Portal Server COLUMBIA, MD-October 27, 1999Sequoia Software Corporation, the leading provider of interactive enterprise portal solutions and Wavo Corporation, an industry leading Digital Media Services Provider, today announced that Sequoia has become one of the first to join Wavo's Business Partner program. Sequoia will immediately make Wavo's NewsPak, an XML-formatted real-time news feed available to customers deploying Interactive Enterprise Portals based on its XML Portal Server. NewsPak is the industry's leading solution for delivering real-time content to Web servers worldwide. With NewsPak any Sequoia XML Portal Server user can access error-free, real-time content streams from a catalog of over 400 media sources including CNBC, Ziff-Davis, USA Today, Comtex, Knight Ridder and UPI. The NewsPak feeds are automatically tagged in industry-standard XML formats, which allows them to be searched, customized and managed by the Sequoia XML Portal Server as though they were any other XML data source. "Accessing real-time news across the Web is the only way many of us keep track of the world around us," said Jasen Fici, Sequoia Software's vice president of marketing. "By bundling NewsPak with the Sequoia XML Portal Server we're eliminating the challenge of delivering the wide ranging content that virtually everyone wants and needs. Furthermore, I believe Sequoia's customers will find NewsPak especially compelling, because it is pure XML, making it easy to search, manage and customize." Sequoia XML Portal Server uses Extensible Markup Language (XML) to bridge structured and unstructured data from disparate sources, and provides a personalized Web interface from which users can quickly and easily search for, retrieve and act on information. Sequoia XML Portal Server allows users to conduct extremely accurate context-sensitive searches.

AXOs are assembled by aggregating multiple, unique XML data elements into a new object that represents a user's specific information requirements. "Sequoia and Wavo have similar goalsuse the power of XML to make timely retrieval of the right information as easy as possible for individuals and organizations," said Peter White president, Wavo Corporation.
