EXTRICITY SOFTWARE LAUNCHES EUROPEAN OPERATIONS

New UK Office To Provide Powerful Business-To-Business E-Commerce 
Solutions
To European Market

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.-December 8, 1999-Extricity Software, Inc., the 
leader
in providing business-to-business (B2B) ecommerce software for Global 2000
companies, announced the company opened a European head office in London,
U.K.  The new office is headed up by Extricity's new vice president and
general manager, EMEA, Keith Deane.

"British and European companies are embracing the Internet as a powerful
medium for communications and commerce," said Deane.  "Extricity's 
packaged
e-commerce software leverages this power by harnessing it not just for
front-end web-ordering, but for building and managing e-commerce trading
communities.  There is strong demand from the European industry and now is
the perfect time to introduce our solutions to this market," Deane stated.

In addition, Extricity Software last week also announced an agreement with
IBM Corp. to globally deliver Internet-based business-to-business (B2B)
integration software solutions.  Under the agreement, IBM will resell and
market Extricity AllianceSeries B2B e-commerce software worldwide.

Extricity Software designs, develops, markets, licenses and supports a 
suite
of business-to-business integration software products that allows 
companies
to leverage the Internet to work better with their business partners. 
 These
business partners are global communities of customers, distributors, and
partners - which collectively comprise today's "extended enterprise".

Extricity Software provides a complete packaged solution that allows
companies to create and manage business processes and the flow of
information between customers, partners and suppliers. These business
processes - such as collaborative planning and engineering, channel
assembly, vendor-managed inventory, logistics, and those associated with
RosettaNet and other standards bodies- can all be automated and highly
synchronized so that, what used to take companies weeks and months to
accomplish, can now be done within hours.  The result is the ability to
leverage the Internet to compete through highly integrated trading partner
communities, leading to significant improvements in profitability and
operational efficiencies.

The Extricity AllianceSeries suite of products is being used today by many
global companies who have realised substantial return on their investment 
-
often in the range of five to 15 times the investment or more, with a
payback period typically measured in months rather than years.

There is a critical need for companies today to collaborate with one
another.  To get products to market swiftly, businesses are being driven 
to
collaborate in joint capacity planning, collaborative demand planning, and
synchronized order fulfillment.  Collaboration has become a requirement 
for
survival, and business integration enhances and improves the environment 
in
which collaboration takes place.
