Sequoia Software and Wavo Partner to Deliver Over 400 Media Sources to
Sequoia's Interactive Enterprise Portal Customers

Agreement Allows Sequoia to Integrate Wavo's NewsPak? XML-formatted
Real-Time News Feeds with Sequoia XML Portal Server

COLUMBIA, MD-October 27, 1999Sequoia Software Corporation, the leading
provider of interactive enterprise portal solutions and Wavo Corporation,
an industry leading Digital Media Services Provider, today announced that
Sequoia has become one of the first to join Wavo's Business Partner
program. Sequoia will immediately make Wavo's NewsPak, an XML-formatted
real-time news feed available to customers deploying Interactive 
Enterprise
Portals based on its XML Portal Server.

NewsPak is the industry's leading solution for delivering real-time 
content
to Web servers worldwide.  With NewsPak any Sequoia XML Portal Server user 
can access error-free, real-time content streams from a catalog of over 
400
media sources including CNBC, Ziff-Davis, USA Today, Comtex, Knight Ridder 
and UPI.  The NewsPak feeds are automatically tagged in industry-standard
XML formats, which allows them to be searched, customized and managed by
the Sequoia XML Portal Server as though they were any other XML data 
source.

"Accessing real-time news across the Web is the only way many of us keep
track of the world around us," said Jasen Fici, Sequoia Software's vice
president of marketing. "By bundling NewsPak with the Sequoia XML Portal
Server we're eliminating the challenge of delivering the wide ranging
content that virtually everyone wants and needs. Furthermore, I believe
Sequoia's customers will find NewsPak especially compelling, because it is 
pure XML, making it easy to search, manage and customize."

Sequoia XML Portal Server uses Extensible Markup Language (XML) to bridge
structured and unstructured data from disparate sources, and provides a
personalized Web interface from which users can quickly and easily search
for, retrieve and act on information. Sequoia XML Portal Server allows
users to conduct extremely accurate context-sensitive searches.
Additionally, Sequoia XML Portal Server further shortcuts information
retrieval by providing users with customized content summaries called
Aggregate XML Objects (AXOs). AXOs are assembled by aggregating multiple,
unique XML data elements into a new object that represents a user's
specific information requirements.

"Sequoia and Wavo have similar goalsuse the power of XML to make timely
retrieval of the right information as easy as possible for individuals and 
organizations," said Peter White president, Wavo Corporation.  "Sequoia's
XML Portal Server is an ideal platform for organizations wanting a
corporate portal that integrates various enterprise and Web-based
information sources with breaking news events, updated sports scores and
weather reports, and the latest in business and entertainment news."
