CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia. -- August 24, 2000 -- GoGetIt Networks, Inc. (www.gogetitnetworks.com), a Charlottesville Virginia start-up company led by former executives and engineers from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Value America, Inc. (www.VA.com) today announced it will be delivering GoGetMD, a speech recognition and understanding based Medical Answering Service.

"We've assembled an outstanding service that leverages the power of speech recognition and understanding to create a solution that will transform how patients and physicians communicate after hours," said Mark Bold, president and CEO of GoGetIt Networks. With traditional answering services, many patients and physicians are plagued by busy signals, long hold times, inaccurate message information and long time delays in receiving messages."

Founded in May 2000, GoGetIt Networks unites best-of-breed" companies, including Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN), SpeechWorks International (NASDAQ: SPWX) to transform the phone into an information-gathering tool with the user speaking a natural, conversational dialog.

"GoGetMD is designed to handle and direct all of medical practices' after-hours call answering and forwarding needs. Just like automated attendants are less expensive than live operators, GoGetMD can cost less than using call-answering services", said Mark Bold. However, the bottom-line is delivered in the form of improved conditions for patients and physicians."

"GoGetMD pricing comes to about half the cost of traditional answering services. Using these technologies we can deliver everything, so there is no hardware or software for our customers to purchase or maintain."
