Web-native Search Engine Helps Engineering Firm?s Customers Find Information Faster and With Greater Accuracy

San Francisco, Calif. ? September 18, 2002 - Atomz, the leading provider of enterprise Web site management software delivered as an online service, today announced that Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR), one of the world's largest, publicly-owned engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services organizations, has selected Atomz Search as the search engine to power its corporate Web site. According to Fluor, Atomz was chosen for the usability it offers site visitors, as well as the quick deployment, robust functionality and cost savings it provides the Web and IT staff.

?At Fluor, we pride ourselves on the usability of our Web site, and we believe Atomz Search best met this criteria by delivering relevant results and an excellent user experience,? said Kevin Bixby, Fluor?s Webmaster. ?In my role, I don?t have time to hire an engineer to install and fiddle with the search engine software to get it working and then keep it up to date. Although cost was not a significant factor in our selection process, we probably saved at least 25% by going with Atomz?s hosted solution. Savings like that can?t be overlooked in any enterprise today.?

Fluor?s decision to choose a Web-native solution meant that there was no need to purchase, install or maintain additional hardware or software in one central location. This will benefit the company significantly given that its IT, technical support, Webmaster and Web site designers are geographically dispersed in cities across the globe. Instead, Atomz manages the application centrally, and Fluor?s site managers access the administrative controls for Atomz Search from any browser, no matter where they are connected to the Internet. Not only will Atomz automatically manage the updates and enhancements to its software and provide 24/7/365 technical support, but Fluor?s ?virtual? team can move forward with assurance that they can continue to grow the Fluor Web site and add new features over time without having to concern themselves with software maintenance and upkeep.

Atomz Search delivers the functionality, performance and controls needed to deliver exceptional search results and a satisfying experience to site visitors around the world. The rich feature set enables site managers to control every aspect of their site search, including indexing, search results and metadata, and is easily customized to match the look and feel of their existing site design. Insightful and flexible reports rank and graph search terms so site managers can monitor what visitors are searching for, and devise ways of helping them locate information faster and easier.

Over the last century, Fluor has earned the reputation of a trusted global business leader that provides exceptional expertise and technical knowledge across every phase of its projects. All elements of its corporate communications are designed to support this image, including the Fluor Web site. The elegance of its design and features, including site search, affects how customers perceive the quality of Fluor and its services.

?Site search is a critical component of any Web site, and Fluor understands the importance it plays in providing customers with a satisfying and productive experience while visiting Fluor?s site,? said Steve Kusmer, co-founder and chief executive officer of Atomz. ?Studies show that more than 60% of visitors use the site?s search engine as their primary means of navigating through a company?s Web site. By replacing its current solution, which was often slow and undependable, with Atomz Search, Fluor will now be able to provide its visitors the ability to easily and efficiently find the information they are seeking.?
