Arbortext Announces Partnership with CAC Corporation; Leading Japanese
IT Provider 

ANN ARBOR, Michigan and TOKYO, Japan, September 29, 2004 -- Arbortext,
Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Publishing software, today
announced it has entered into a reseller partnership with CAC
Corporation (TSE: 4725), Japan's leading integrated IT services

customer's unique requirements.  Using Arbortext, these institutions are
able to improve customer satisfaction - achieving the unique combination
of reducing costs while also gaining a competitive advantage.

"We are honored to be working with Arbortext," said Hisashi Takahashi,
Director, Medical & Pharmaceutical Systems Business Unit for CAC
Corporation.  "Arbortext understands the importance of providing
customers with localized support, and we will do that by extending the
company's support to new and existing customers.  Our professional
sales, services and technical teams will also work very closely with
Arbortext to build and implement market awareness programs that
highlight the importance of XML-based enterprise publishing,
strengthening our market leadership positions."
