     XML Global Introduces Security and Reliability for
                  e-Business Web Services
-------------------------------------------------------------

GoXML Messaging leverages ebXML technologies to provide advanced
 reliability and security features for Web services deployments

New York, NY  -- January 15, 2003 -- XML Global Technologies, Inc.
(OTC BB: XMLG), an XML middleware company, announced the release
of GoXML Messaging 3.0.  GoXML Messaging is a secure and reliable
SOAP-based messaging system that supports the industry standard
ebXML Messaging Specification 2.0.

ebXML is a suite of e-business standards sponsored by OASIS and
the UN/CEFACT.  Gartner analyst Jess Thompson has stated that
“ebXML Messaging is the crown jewel of the ebXML specification
suite.”  GoXML Messaging 3.0 has been successfully certified
in the current round of Drummond Group ebXML Messaging 2.0
interoperability tests sponsored by the Uniform Code Council,
Inc. (UCC).

GoXML Messaging 3.0 addresses the issue of Web services security,
which Pacific Data Works analyst Andrew Binstock says is “the
biggest obstacle to exposing Web services to defined groups or
the public”.  In his recent Software Development Times article
Binstock adds, “[The issue of] Security, of course, appears even
with internal applications, such as intranets.”  GoXML Messaging
now empowers businesses to publish Web services that offer security
guarantees for business documents such as invoices, health records
and digital images.

“In addition to security, reliability is a critical component that
most businesses are demanding of Web services,” said Peter Shandro,
CEO of XML Global.  “We view this as an important step to fulfilling
the needs of businesses.  GoXML Messaging gives Web services the
reliability and functionality that mission critical applications
demand.”

“Business Web services require advanced features such as digital
signatures and non-repudiated receipts.  ebXML Messaging provides
these advanced security and reliability features for Web services”
said Duane Nickull, VP of Strategic Relations of XML Global and
ebXML liaison to the W3C Web Services Architecture Group, “and
GoXML Messaging, with its easy-to-integrate API simplifies the
process of adding a secure messaging layer to any application.”

Unlike other messaging systems that typically require additional
proprietary server software, GoXML Messaging is designed to operate
as a lightweight web application or as a small-footprint embeddable
software component.  This enables existing applications to engage
in secure and reliable document exchanges over intranets and the
Internet.

Key features of GoXML Messaging 3.0 include:
* certified for ebXML Message Service 2.0 interoperability
* support for ebXML CPA 2.0 trading partner agreements
* persistent message storage to guarantee reliable messaging
* an easy-to-use Java API.

With the release of GoXML Messaging 3.0 XML Global adds further
depth to its suite of business integration components, which
include GoXML Transform, a data transformation engine, and GoXML
Registry, a metadata registry based on the ebXML specification.

GoXML Messaging 3.0 is available for evaluation from January 20, 2003.
