TECHNOLOGY GROUP



CAMBRIDGE, Mass ----  Systinet, the leading independent supplier of Web
Services infrastructure software, and Softworx Technology Group of Toronto,
Canada today announced a partnership agreement for Softworx to provide
sales, support and professional services for Systinet’s Web services
infrastructure software products in Canada.

“Over the last year we’ve seen accelerating interest in our Web services
solutions in Canada. Our partnership with Softworx provides the excellent
local resources we need to support growing demand,” said Roman Stanek,
founder and CEO of Systinet Corp. “We look forward to working with Softworx
to bring our award-winning technology to Canadian businesses.”

“We are very pleased to distribute the Systinet product offerings here in
Canada,” said Robert Ashall, Partner at Softworx Technology Group. “Many of
our Canadian customers and accounts have been building Web Services for
small internal projects but have been looking for better technology to build
security, administration and deployment features into their production-ready
applications. With Systinet WASP, they will now have a ready available,
easy-to-use and easy-to-manage solution.”
Systinet recently announced plans to expand representation in other
countries to meet anticipated demand for Web services infrastructure
software. In a survey jointly commissioned by the Software and Information
Industry Association (SIIA) and Systinet, over 75% of the 790 respondents
stated they planned to deploy Web services projects in 2003.

The Systinet WASP suite of products is a complete solution for building,
deploying, securing and managing Web services. Systinet WASP Server for Java
