Xyvision Enterprise Solutions Unveils Content@XML Content
Management Software

New Software Package Provides Dynamic Content
Editing, Re-use, Assembly, and Multi-Channel Delivery

READING, MA - August 28, 2000 - Xyvision Enterprise Solutions, Inc.
(XyEnterprise), a leading developer of XML content management and publishing
software announced today a new version of its leading content management
software. This offering, known as Content@XML (pronounced contenta XML)
is designed for the growing number of organizations creating XML content
for re-use in the high tech, financial, product manufacturing, and publishing
industries. This new product offering, built on the proven capabilities
of XyEnterprise's Parlance Content Manager, provides organizations with
editorial, re-use, workflow, assembly and delivery capabilities for XML
and other data types. Content@XML provides out of the box integration
with popular XML editing tools and, via its re-use and assembly capabilities,
is an ideal compliment to web content delivery applications and application
server products. The Content@ and Content@XML solutions enable
organizations to migrate to an XML environment while leveraging their
existing desktop applications.

Content@ XML is designed to enable the creation of single source
repositories to meet the growing demand for dynamic content re-use, staging
of content collections for web delivery, and automation of traditional
document publishing. This new package enables organizations to create
and capture critical information assets for re-use across a broad range
of deliverables. Typical users of Content@XML create, re-use, and
dynamically publish XML content and content collections including
marketing materials, technical manuals, product documentation, and
financial publications in an efficient and automated manner.

"We are very excited about the Content@ and Content@XML product lines,"
said Richard Pasewark, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at XyEnterprise.
"These products provide the bridge from unstructured data to structured
XML content for re-use. Most importantly, by offering these software
solutions with complimentary XyEnterprise Professional Services, we are
able to rapidly deploy functional systems within set timeframes and
budgets meeting the rapid system deployment and content re-use goals
of our customers."

Kevin Duffy, president and CEO for XyEnterprise added, "Our family of
products provide the most comprehensive solutions available today for
companies seeking to leverage the value of their information, create
efficiencies in their enterprise publishing processes, and generate new
revenue streams. From desktop to the Web, we have solutions to meet the
needs of traditional publishing operations and e-businesses alike."

XyEnterprise will provide demonstrations of its full line of content and
document management offerings at Seybold San Francisco 2000 from August
29 - 31st at the Moscone Center. XyEnterprise will also be offering a
