DigitalWork Expands Portal Solution With Four, New Small Business Services

CareerSite joins DigitalWork

Chicago, Ill., September 19, 2001 – DigitalWork, Inc. has again expanded its current offering of over 35 private labeled small business services by adding four new service lines. The four new services provide small businesses with easy online access to professional writing and translation services, job posting services, direct mail services, and postcard printing services. ``The small businesses we reach through our relationships with local chambers of commerce are always looking for new services that are easy to use and inexpensive. Our relationship with DigitalWork makes it easy to consistently provide these customers with new and expanded services,'' said Farrokh Jahandari, ChamberBiz.

DigitalWork's small business portal solution is designed for companies that have aggregated a large number of small business customers and are looking to dramatically increase their ROI from this hard to reach customer segment. Companies who license the turn-key DigitalWork platform can offer online small business services that seamlessly match their user interface, facilitate single login, and provide unified billing. Deep integration of all services provide unified reporting on end user demographics, traffic, purchase patterns, and revenues.

``Becoming a component of DigitalWork's portal solution has been great for our business. We are now able to provide our service in a deeply integrated manner to major new distribution partners in just a few weeks. Building a world-class distribution network has always been cost prohibitive for us. By partnering with DigitalWork, we saved months over creating private label versions of our application for each distribution partner,'' Ed Farrell, VP Marketing, CareerSite.

Each service integrated into the DigitalWork platform is powered by a company that specializes in that specific service: the writing service is powered by goEDIT.com, the Job Posting service by CareerSite, the Direct Mail service by QuantumMail, and the Web Site Postcard service by Web-Cards, Inc. These deeply integrated services allow DigitalWork to provide a complete small business portal solution that encompasses proprietary platform technology, customer service, fulfillment and content. There are currently over 35 services integrated into the Unity(TM) Technology Platform.
