XML Global Technologies Works with IBM's jStart Program
--------------------------------------------------------

New York, N.Y., May 16th, 2001 - XML Global Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:
XMLG), a product focused, XML powered, e-business platform company,
announced today that they will work with IBM and their jStart program,
designed to drive customer adoption of emerging technologies. Under the
terms of the relationship, XML Global and the IBM jStart team will work
closely using leading edge technologies to deliver the high-quality Web
enabled business solutions. 

A particular focus of the relationship will be to extend XML Global's
proven XML data integration platform, GoXML Foundation, within the
Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) environment, an
e-Business standards initiative co-sponsored by IBM. By so doing, XML
Global will be able to offer a suite of Web services enabling tools that
will free clients from having to invent their own protocols for
inter-process communication and partner interaction while at the same
time allowing them to connect their back end systems to the GoXML
platform.

XML Global and IBM both embrace the complementary coexistence of ebXML
and UDDI and together have played leading roles with respect to the
interoperability of these two specifications. XML Global understands the
importance of open infrastructure tools that will allow companies to
find products and services electronically and then automate the
processing of business transactions. By working with IBM's jStart
program, and building on IBM's framework in this area, XML Global will
be able to offer the most technologically advanced solutions to their
clients. 

XML Global will collaborate with the IBM jStart team to feed its dynamic
e-Business efforts with direct access to early tooling and innovations
such as IBM's Web Services Toolkit, UDDI for Java and WebSphere. IBM
also will provide the infrastructure needed to develop these emerging
technologies into compelling business solutions for XML Global's growing
customer base. 

"XML Global has embraced UDDI and Web services technologies as core
components of our Dynamic e-Business strategy," states Gordon Ebanks,
XML Global's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We have
chosen to work with IBM because of their leadership and commitment in
these areas. Working with IBM, XML Global will be able to complement
UDDI technology with our patented XML technology and ebXML expertise to
develop the most advanced web enabled business solutions on the market."
