BadBlue introduces P2P KM for business with Enterprise Edition

Atlanta GA, April 5, 2001 - Working Resources, Inc., a leading
provider of web-based peer-to-peer technology, today announced the
availability of its Enterprise Edition, BadBlue EE. BadBlue EE
allows any Windows PC to control access to browser-based information
utilizing Windows NT authentication and authorization. BadBlue EE
leverages NT account and group information even when running on the
Windows 95, 98 or ME platforms.

BadBlue EE is a small footprint, search-enabled web server that can
interact in a peer-sharing network for the purposes of knowledge
management, mobile/wireless data gathering, file sharing and other
collaborative applications. EE transforms each PC into a powerful,
search-friendly web server which can integrate with an enterprise's
legacy KM and security architectures.

"As one of the first P2P packages to integrate directly with legacy
enterprise security, BadBlue is positioned to dramatically improve
business processes and knowledge sharing in many new forms," said
Brandt Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Working Resources. "BadBlue
provides several unique benefits to businesses: it can create live
snapshots of Excel spreadsheet and Word document data over HTTP,
which is useful for real-time data gathering and roll-up; it also
supports true P2P searching architectures to better enable KM in the
enterprise."

"As we all know, publishing information to an intranet can entail an
expensive set of work-processes: a user needs to find a server on
which to publish content; to find an appropriate folder on the
server; to physically copy it to the server; to secure it correctly;
and to try to schedule it for spidering, indexing and
categorization. And once all of these steps take place, if a user
makes a single change to the document on their own machine, the
content on the server is rendered out of date and these steps need
to be repeated."

"P2P architectures can remove many of the steps from this daunting
set of work proceses. And P2P has the added benefit of providing
timely, accurate data - something that many enterprises have
struggled to achieve. With BadBlue EE, for the first time,
documents of all types, on almost any Windows machine, can leverage
NT-based authentication and authorization in a P2P architecture.
The benefits to business are significant: secure access to timely
information, reduced work processes and instant connectivity to
useful data which exists in the field or in the knowledge worker's
PC."

BadBlue EE is one of the smallest Windows-compatible web servers ever
developed, supporting advanced features such as P2P searching and
sharing, NT security integration, CLF logging, IP restrictions, PHP,
CGI and ISAPI in a core server that takes up about 75Kb of disk space.
With such a tiny deployed size, BadBlue can be used in a variety of
applications including mobile, disconnected/semi-connected, P2P, and a
variety of vertical markets.

How BadBlue integrates with Windows NT security

Doug Ross, Chief Technology Officer of BadBlue, stated, "With a
single copy of BadBlue EE running on a Windows NT server (which we
refer to as the 'NT authority'), other peers can authenticate and
authorize users who surf to a peer machine with the intent of
viewing or retrieving content. BadBlue EE is very simple to set up
and virtually any type of Windows machine - including 95, 98 and
ME - can take advantage of the NT authority for the purposes of
access control."

Other BadBlue EE features

"In addition, BadBlue EE provides bi-directional data transfer
features. That is, a user within an enterprise can 'push' (upload)
files directly to friendly P2P machines whether inside or outside
the firewall, depending upon how the peer is configured."

Ross also stated that BadBlue EE has greater flexibility than the
Personal Edition. "EE allows the system tray menu to be easily
tailored to a specific enterprise."

Introductory Pricing

Brandt Ross remarked that BadBlue EE's pricing would remain at an
introductory level for the initial rollout period. "Pricing
begins at $19.99 for a single-user license and then dramatically
drops in price per seat as quantities increase. The introductory
pricing levels allow businesses of all sizes to see the benefits of
P2P."

Beta User Comments

Gerald Polucci, an early user of BadBlue, stated, "BadBlue EE is a
conceptually simple, yet very powerful way to communicate knowledge
and data throughout an organization. This would appear to complement
synchronization technology in cases where you need to access data
like spreadsheets or documents. Because BadBlue can serve HTML or
WML/WAP data, it's an extremely interesting platform for peer-to-peer
collaboration. Its ability to work with proxy servers, firewalls and
legacy security architectures is also intriguing from a corporate
perspective."
