Arbortext Announces American Express Financial Services, Discreet and SPARTA Among 70 New Customers in First Quarter Arbortext continues record growth; worldwide revenues increase 40%; Canadian revenues increase 300% ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 3, 2001 -- Arbortext, Inc., the only global provider of XML-based software for single source publishing to multiple media types including Web, print, CD-ROM and wireless, today announced the addition of 70 new customers for the quarter ending March 31, 2001, fueling its continued record growth. With worldwide sales increasing 40% from Q1 2000 to Q1 2001, and Canadian sales increasing by 300% for the same period, Arbortext is proving its XML-based single source, multi-channel publishing software continues to be the first choice for Global 2000 organizations. To support a rapidly expanding Canadian customer base, Arbortext recently established an office in London, Ontario, and continues to build its Canadian sales and support team. This new branch joins the Arbortext network with offices in Ann Arbor, Boston, San Jose, Tokyo, Munich, London (UK) and Paris. “I’m delighted with our continued growth rate,” said Jim Sterken, president and co-founder of Arbortext. “The quarter we just completed was our best first quarter ever. The fact that we continue to experience solid growth during these challenging times in the high tech industry, and the fact that market leaders such as American Express Financial Services, Discreet, Nortel and Sparta are selecting us for their XML initiatives, indicates that we are offering the right solution to enable these companies to remain ahead in their respective marketplaces.” Global 2000 organizations realize it’s imperative to be able to create a single source of information that can automatically be published to multiple types of media. Arbortext’s Epic E-Content Engine (E3) is a Web-based content conversion and publishing server that captures unstructured content from multiple sources, converts it into reusable XML components, assembles these components according to individual requirements, and composes the result for multiple media, including Web, print and wireless devices such as cellular phones and e-Books. E3 integrates tightly with repositories from Documentum, Interwoven, Oracle and others to enable seamless integration of XML content at both a component level and a compound document level. “We chose Arbortext because of their long, successful history in providing organizations with the software and services required for us to keep ahead in this fast-paced industry,” said Louis Beauregard, senior information developer for Discreet. “Using Epic, we have the ability to create and deliver new products much quicker than previously, giving us the advantage of being first to market ahead of our competitors. E3 is yet another example of how Arbortext has continued to be in front of the industry with innovative, scalable product offerings.” About Arbortext Arbortext is the only global provider of XML-based software to publish information to multiple media types – Web, print, CD-ROM, wireless – from a single source of content.
