Former Inktomi Customers Can

DENVER, Dec. 11, 2002 - ISYS Search Software, a global
supplier of search software for the public and private sectors, has announced
it is offering Inktomi customers an opportunity to switch to ISYS in exchange
for the amount of the customers current annual maintenance agreement.*
The announcement comes on the heels of the news that Verity Inc. has proposed
to acquire Inktomi Corp.s enterprise search software business.
Veritys proposed acquisition of Inktomis
enterprise search business has prompted a number of Inktomis customers
to re-evaluate their search vendor partnerships, said Ian Davies,
founder of ISYS/ISYS. Businesses wary about potential price increases
are clearly on alert, and were confident that we can support these
organizations with superior search technology at a price thats practical
for todays economy.
ISYS Search Softwares invitation offers existing Inktomi
customers the potential to save substantially when compared to Veritys
list pricing and recent deals being offered by other search vendors.
With a rich, 14-year history and a solid customer base that
includes government agencies, legal organizations, recruitment firms and
OEMs, ISYS sixth-generation technology is available in a number
of formats, including Desktop, Web and an SDK for custom integration.

ISYS/ISYS directly at 800-992.4797 or sales@isysusa.com.
