EKTRON'S CONTENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION ENABLES PROMINENT
NEW ENGLAND LAW FIRM TO OPTIMIZE WEB PUBLISHING PROCESS
With Ektron's eMPower, legal firm staff updates and manages Web site
content in controlled, cost-effective way

March 26, 2001, Amherst, NH -- Ektron, Inc., a recognized international
leader in Web content authoring and publishing, today announced that
Sheehan, Phinney, Bass, and Green (SPB+G), a prominent New England law
firm, has chosen Ektron's Web content management application as its
corporate Web publishing solution. eMPower is a full-featured,
easy-to-use Web content management system, that brings a new level of
affordability to small- and medium-sized organizations as well as to
corporate intranets.

"Ektron has provided us with an efficient, user-friendly solution for
improving our Web content, de-centralizing content management, and
maintaining quality control," says Michael Kasten, one of SPB+G's
corporate attorneys representing high tech clients. "One of our goals
is to provide our attorneys the ability to publish content on our
Web site, including articles, seminars and other information. With
eMPower, we simply log into the application via our site and author
content within a word-processor-like environment, including text
formatting, image and table insertion, hyperlinks and more. To ensure
quality control, content is submitted, then published, through a fully
automated approval process."

With Ektron's eMPower, many individuals -- lawyers, paralegals, marketing
staff, and administrative assistants -- can create, publish and manage Web
content in a straightforward, controlled way. This occurs from the office,
from the road or from home due to eMPower's browser-based access. The
product features workflow, definable user and group roles, templating,
versioning, check-in/check-out, virtual staging, document management, and
Ektron's powerful authoring tool, eWebEditPro. eMPower delivers this
functionality at a fraction of the cost of many other content management
systems.

According to attorney Kasten, SPB+G's Web site has become increasingly
important to the firm's marketing strategy. In addition to integrating
eMPower into its site, the firm chose Ektron to help improve the site's
appearance, functionality, and navigability in order to reach out to
SPB+G's increasingly high tech client base.

"SPB+G is a prime example of the many service organizations that use eMPower
to manage their Web sites," says Ektron CEO Bill Rogers. "With Ektron's
solutions, business users can manage Web content while IT professionals
maintain control. Web developers and Webmasters are no longer burdened with
routine, mundane content updating, yet they configure these solutions to meet
their own site's standards. Organizations reduce overall costs by eliminating
the complexities of keeping Web content up-to-date."
