-----Original Message----- From: Dennis O'Connor [mailto:dennis@parnold.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 10:02 AM To: scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org Subject: Free XML Executive Seminar FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Peter Arnold Associates Stephanie Oakley Dennis O'Connor 781-239-1030 XMLSolutions Announces Free Seminars Across the Nation on XML for the E-Business Revolution With thousands of businesses moving online everyday, executives must learn about XML, the language of the Internet, to remain competitive. McLean, VA, July 25, 2000 - XMLSolutions Corporation, a worldwide provider of software for the development and deployment of XML-based applications, today announced that it is hosting a series of free seminars that discuss the value of XML for executives. XMLSolutions has provided XML training to more than 20 of the Global 100 companies. XMLSolutions' complimentary breakfast seminars are designed principally for CIO's, purchasing managers, EDI and e-commerce executives who want a brief yet comprehensive introduction to XML. Experts in XML lead the seminars and offer a question and answer session at the conclusion of the seminar. "We have been tossing around the idea of XML for a couple months but didn't understand how it would integrate with our existing EDI system. The seminar was extremely comprehensive in explaining the difference between XML, EDI and HTML and how XML can enhance the latter two," said Shawn McCarter, E-Commerce National Account Manager, Black & Decker, Washington, DC seminar attendee. "Not only were the presenters incredibly knowledgeable about XML, they were well aware that most of their students were executives without much technology background. The environment was stress free because there was no sales pitch. I was able to just sit back, absorb the info, and walk away feeling a lot more confident about XML and how to use it to my advantage." To register for the free seminars, please go to www.xmls.com/news/executive-seminar.html or call 1-877-434-9657. Remaining seminars scheduled for summer 2000 include: July 27, Atlanta, GA, The Marriott Perimeter Center 7:30 - 11:30 am August 2, Detroit, MI, The Ritz-Carlton Dearborn 7:30 - 11:30 am August 3, Chicago, IL, The Lodge in Oak Brook 7:30 - 11:30 am Additional seminars are being scheduled for fall 2000 in Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Seattle/Vancouver. According to Gartner Group, as early as 2001, business-to-business e-commerce sales will exceed business-to-consumer sales by more than tenfold. Gartner Group also projects that by 2004, the worldwide business-to-business market will total $7.3 trillion. "XML is the language of e-commerce, and knowing how to adapt it with existing capabilities will be crucial to succeeding in business in a technology-based economy," said Kevin Kail, CEO, XMLSolutions Corporation. "Our educational efforts are being very well received. The recent seminar in Washington, DC was double the anticipated attendance." XML facilitates e-business by eliminating restrictions based on incompatible operating systems. Companies no longer need an expensive customized data exchange interface for each supplier or customer. "Through these seminars, XMLSolutions seeks to educate executives at many levels on the value of XML and its use for e-business success," stated Debbie Hamel, Executive Vice President, XMLSolutions Corporation. "Corporate Executives should understand how XML works and its potential to affect all business decisions. XML isn't just for high tech executives.
