We Media Chooses Software from Infoteria and Microsoft to Support Live
Updates on the Web
Don't Miss the Games:  October 18 - 29

Boston, MA and Tokyo, Japan-October 24, 2000-Infoteria Corporation, the XML
software company, announced today that its software was chosen to support
the webcasting of the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games.  The games run from
October 18 through October 29.  The We Media webcast is being supported by
IBM, the technology partner of the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games.

We Media chose Infoteria's iMAKER software and XML to support its webcast
of the Paralympics Games from Sydney.  We Media staff, technical and
non-technical, will input event results using Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet
from their laptops.  Infoteria's iMAKER will translate this Excel
spreadsheet data into XML (eXtensible Markup Language), enabling the
information to be used by the We Media's webcasting system.

"Infoteria is very jazzed about We Media's work at the Sydney Paralympics,
as well as their selection of iMAKER," said Tim Browne, CEO and president
of Infoteria Corporation, Worldwide.  "Because of Microsoft Excel's
ubiquity in the marketplace, and ease of use, We Media wanted to use it in
its scoring system.  Our iMAKER was a natural for them.  It is the
industry's only solution for moving Excel data into XML.  The combination
allowed its entire staff, regardless of technical skill, to input event
results from anywhere in the enormous Sydney venue. This not only is a
great example of an elegant solution made possible by XML, but it's in
support of an outrageously cool event.  Infoteria has always been committed
to diversity in the workplace, and we applaud the spirit of the Paralympic
Games, which highlights the strength, excellence, and determination of
these very special athletes."
