EXTRICITY INTRODUCES FIRST COMPLETE SOFTWARE SOLUTION
DEDICATED TO ROSETTANET E-BUSINESS STANDARDS

New Extricity AllianceInteract forRosettaNet Enables Companies To Easily

RosettaNet E-Business Standards

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.- October 19, 1999 - Extricity(tm) Software, Inc.,
today announced the availability of a comprehensive new e-business 
software
solution based on the electronic business standards developed by 
RosettaNet.
RosettaNet is the leading industry standards body and consortium dedicated
to the development and deployment of electronic commerce partner 
interfaces

supply chain industries.

Extricity Software is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for leading 
IT
companies who have committed to making the global use of RosettaNet's 
supply
chain standards a reality by February 2, 2000.  Using RosettaNet "Partner
Interface Processes" (PIPs), these leading IT industry companies are
defining how business processes are conducted over the Internet between
members of the IT supply chain, which include manufacturers, distributors,
resellers, and end users.  To date, Extricity Software has been selected 
by
leading companies, including CompUSA Inc., Ingram Micro Inc., and 
Solectron
Corp. to implement their RosettaNet e-business standards solution.    (See
separate news release dated October 19, 1999, announcing the selection of
Extricity Software by CompUSA.)

Extricity has been the leading solution provider throughout RosettaNet's
pilot implementation phase, called "EConcert."  During EConcert, Extricity
has successfully supported interactions based on RosettaNet PIPs between 
the
following companies:

. Inacom - Ingram Micro
. Ingram Micro - Nortel
. Marshall Industries - Solectron
. Microsoft - Ingram Micro
. Nortel - Solectron
. Solectron - Ingram Micro





"The successful deployment of RosettaNet standards for e-business requires
new and innovative software solutions," said Fadi Chehade, chief executive
officer of RosettaNet. "Extricity AllianceInteract for RosettaNet provides
an excellent platform for rapidly implementing business processes that 
allow
trading partners to quickly and reliably exchange critical business
information based on RosettaNet standards."

Extricity AllianceInteract for RosettaNet provides support for the
RosettaNet Implementation Framework, as well as pre-configured, graphical
models of RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs).  It also provides
end-to-end process visibility, full PIP auditing and analysis 
capabilities,
support for a wide variety of firewall configurations and security 
policies,
and the ability to integrate with enterprise applications and middleware
systems.

"Leading companies such as CompUSA, Ingram Micro, and Solectron have
selected Extricity AllianceInteract for RosettaNet to provide them with 
the
simplest and most intuitive way to meet their commitment to 2/2/2000,"
stated Christopher Carfi, Extricity Software's director of product
marketing.  "This is an overwhelming market validation of the new 
Extricity
AllianceInteract product, and confirms Extricity's reputation as the
'Standard Behind the Standard' for RosettaNet," Carfi stated.
