NetMorf and Mercator Form Partnership to Provide Wireless E-Business Solution

Leading E-Business Transformation Companies Join Forces to Enable Mobile Access for B2C and B2B Customers

At its Mercator Exchange 2000 annual customer and partner conference, Mercator(R) Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCTR), the e-business transformation company(TM), and NetMorf, Inc., the premier provider of wireless e-business transformation solutions, today announced plans for a joint technology and business partnership. Available immediately, Mercator and NetMorf offer an XML-based integration solution that enables customers to transform and deliver e-business applications to a variety of mobile devices.

"Mobile access has become a critical business requirement for many emerging e-business applications," said Connie Galley, president and chief executive officer, Mercator. "Mercator's proven ability to integrate applications of any complexity across diverse computing environments, coupled with NetMorf's highly scalable and available wireless transformation solution architecture, will enable our joint customers to deploy their wireless e-business applications with confidence."

NetMorf's flagship product, SiteMorfer, delivers the key wireless Internet infrastructure required to connect critical e-business data and processes to information that can be accessed by a wide range of wireless devices, including mobile phones, personal data assistants (Palm Pilots, WinCE devices), data-phones, pagers and set-top boxes. When combined with Mercator's E-Business Broker suite, customers can dramatically reduce the time, cost and effort associated with wireless e-business transformation and gain access to virtually any content or transaction source, whether enterprise or Web-based.

"The real power of e-business comes from leveraging the investment and integration of a company's back-end data, and industry leaders such as Mercator have made accomplishing this challenging task a reality," said Michael Maggio, president and CEO, NetMorf. "By partnering with Mercator, NetMorf provides our customers the ability to leverage our groundbreaking technology by transforming the power of the e-business back-end integration to the reach of wireless. Integration with technologies such as those from Mercator help NetMorf deliver on the promise of mobile e-commerce."

SiteMorfer allows companies to expand their e-business presence by enabling wireless devices to act as clients in the exploding mobile commerce economy. Unlike other tools that source from the HTML pages, SiteMorfer enables organizations to integrate data directly from the back-end data sources for maximum performance and flexibility. Ultimately, it delivers fast, reliable mobile access to a company's Internet operations, including business-to-consumer and business-to-business e-commerce.

The Mercator E-Business Integration Broker suite enables customers to deploy a single, standards-based architecture for seamless business-to-business (B2B) integration across all commerce touch points, event-driven application-to-application (A2A) integration across the enterprise, and integration of existing systems with consumer-to-business (C2B) applications. Whether deployed as standalone integration brokers or an end-to-end integration solution, Mercator E-Business Integration Brokers are designed to dramatically reduce the time, cost and effort of e-business transformation.
