The agreement will leverage XML Global's Business-to-Business integration

governments an open and standards based architecture for implementing their
e-Government projects. Both XML Global and Republica, with government
clients in North America and Europe, have taken an early lead in promoting
the adoption of open standards for public sector use.

"We are committed to provide our e-Government customers better cross-agency
information interoperability, easier back-end integration and leading edge,
open standard collaboration technology," said Jouko Salonen, CEO of
Republica. "we can now offer public sector customers a comprehensive ebXML
based e-Business solution. XML Global's integration platform," continued
Salonen, "with its support for ebXML and a secure and reliable messaging
service, will allow us to quickly focus on the XML infrastructure and
network efficiency needs of our public sector clients."

"We are very pleased to be entering into this reseller partnership with
Republica, who have a long and successful track record of working with the
European public sector," said John McAughtry, President of XML Global. "The
European e-Government sector, with its wide array of integration and
interoperability obstacles, offers both our companies excellent business and
growth opportunities. XML Global has successfully completed several ebXML
contracts for both the US and Canadian governments and we look forward to
working with Republica and building on our success in the public sector."

Republica and XML Global's mission will be to serve the XML infrastructure
needs of the European public sector and to help them build better and more
efficient services using an ebXML framework. Both companies have identified
significant business opportunities in the growing e-Government sector, and
by working together they aim to serve the information interoperability needs
of governments across Europe.
