FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Release XML Global and Metaserver Combine Offerings to Tackle Web Service Integration The strategic alliance will focus on Web Service components that will simplify complex B2B and business process integration challenges New York, N.Y. and New Haven, CT - October 21st, 2002 - XML Global Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: XMLG), a developer of XML middleware and Metaserver, Inc., a developer of best-of-breed business process integration (BPI) software, today announced they have entered into a comprehensive strategic reseller agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, XML Global and Metaserver have each added the other's technology into their product lines and will work together to market and sell the new product combinations. The combined technology solutions will result in an enhanced product range for business-to-business integration, data transformations, and business process integration with full support for Web Services deployment. The combined efforts will allow customers to more efficiently meet integration challenges within and across the enterprise. In response to a growing demand for integrated B2B and business process integration tools, XML Global and Metaserver have agreed to combine the core technologies from their respective flagship products, GoXML(tm) Transform Enterprise Edition and Metaserver 4.0, into a comprehensive and easy to use toolset allowing end-to-end integration functionality. This joint offering addresses a growing need in many industries including finance, insurance, healthcare and manufacturing, where standards such as SWIFT, ACORD, HIPAA and ebXML require companies to adopt these standards and integrate them into their overall business, enabling them to break down barriers among partners and increase operational efficiency. This is the first solution geared towards enabling rapid implementation by leveraging both internal systems and standards within the same toolset to enable B2Bi. "Many of our customers are facing increasingly complex integration projects that can only be solved with a combination of B2B integration and business process integration tools," explained John McAughtry, President of XML Global. "Metaserver is distinguished in the market by its high performance BPI technology," continued McAughtry, "and by incorporating XML Global's data transformation we will jointly be able to offer the market a more focused and accessible integration solution that will enable companies to improve efficiency, customer service and return on investment." "A major challenge is to deliver timely solutions, that allow organizations to access the enormous store of mission critical applications that reside in legacy systems but were not designed to interact with the XML world," said Michael Aubin, COO of Metaserver. "Combining XML Global and Metaserver's core competencies of data transformation and business process integration will give organizations a competitive edge by allowing them to leverage and manage their existing business applications across the enterprise and over the Internet."
