Drive Global Mainstream Adoption Of RosettaNet E-Business Standards


NEW YORK CITY--October 26, 1999 - Extricity Software, Inc., a leader in
business-to-business e-commerce software, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, the
world's largest professional services organization, have formed a 
strategic
alliance to provide a comprehensive and packaged software and services

industries.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers and Extricity Software alliance provides the
industry's first combined software and services solution that helps
companies easily and rapidly implement the new RosettaNet e-business

e-business processes a reality by February 2, 2000 and is currently the
standard form of implementation of RosettaNet solutions at companies such 
as
CompUSA and Solectron. PricewaterhouseCoopers and Extricity will form a
dedicated team of resources focused on helping companies define and deploy
RosettaNet solutions and align them with their mainstream business
processes.

"By drawing upon our knowledge of the high-tech industry and our 
leadership
position in the e-business consulting arena, we will work with Extricity 
on
providing strategic solutions for companies that need to quickly and 
easily
implement the RosettaNet global e-business standards," said Marilyn 
Stemper,
partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

"PricewaterhouseCoopers and our new alliance focused on implementing
RosettaNet solutions has uniquely pulled together everything needed to 
help
businesses rapidly realize the power of a standards-based
business-to-business solution that caters to the specific needs of the 
high
tech industry," said Mark Wasiele, Extricity Software's vice president,

missing
link - dedicated resources and experience to provide guidance and
world-class implementation services for RosettaNet solutions."
