Nimble Technology(tm) Hires Industry Veteran Ann Palmer 
as Vice President of Development
		 
(Seattle, Washington, USA-February 21, 2001)-Nimble Technology, a
Seattle-based software company providing a powerful XML-based data
integration platform, today announced the hiring of Ann Palmer as Vice
President of Development.  

Prior to joining Nimble(tm), Palmer was a founder and Vice President of
Technology at Oralis.com where she was responsible for all
technology-related issues including e-commerce system architecture. Before
co-founding Oralis.com, Palmer held senior development positions at Filenet,
Boulevard Corporation, Systems Works and TOTL Software. Palmer began her
career at Pacific Telephone as District Manager of System Software Support.

"Nimble is developing exciting technology that will have a tremendous impact
on the way businesses and individuals make sense of the flood of data that
surrounds them," Palmer said. "I am very impressed by the engineering talent
Nimble has attracted and look forward to helping the team bring this
technology to market."

Nimble's software is based on XML querying technology developed by
University of Washington computer science professors, Alon Halevy and Dan
Weld. The Nimble Integration Suite(tm) gives companies the ability to query
multiple, disparate data sources as if all the data were in a single
database. Instead of building new and larger databases to store data,
companies can use the Nimble Integration Suite to gain a comprehensive view
of data, stored in a variety of data sources: legacy, relational, flat file
or unstructured.

"Ann brings exactly the combination of skills Nimble needs to manage the
difficult task of turning the advanced research work of our founders into
best-in-class commercial software," said Suzan DelBene, President and CEO of
Nimble Technology. "Not only does she have the technical background in
enterprise software development, she also has the management skills to build
a world-class development organization. We are very pleased to have Ann on 
the team."
