Posted on: Monday, 21 June 2004, 06:00 CDT

SAN MATEO, Calif. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- MARSYS, a leading global provider of IT managed services and technologies, and WebTops, a premier online Web publishing and collaboration application provider, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver on-demand virtual office solutions for small-to-medium sized businesses, membership-based organizations, academic/education and consumer markets globally. The WebTops Collaboration Software Suite will be hosted through MARSYS' global infrastructure as part of MARSYS' new Global Utility-Based IT (GUBIT) services--offering customers a secure and robust platform for accessing tools for collaboration, Web site publishing, time management, and data archiving (See "MARSYS GUARANTEES END USER SERVICE LEVELS WITH NEW GLOBAL UTILITY-BASED IT SERVICES" announcement also issued today).

"As a leader in global IT services, MARSYS provides a reliable and robust infrastructure for hosting our collaborative software suite," said Bill Aniss, president and chief software architect of WebTops. "This integrated solution offers our customers with a secure, reliable, and productive set of tools needed to increase communication and productivity. As a result, they can improve efficiency, quickly publish content, access and share information, and effortlessly manage data--all with the click of a button."

The WebTops software suite merges two essential tools together -- Web publishing and collaboration. The WebTops Web publishing module enables authorized users to easily publish content to their WebTop, departmental intranet, or to an enterprise portal. The collaboration module allows end users to e-mail, manage schedules, plus manage and share documents. Additional features include a task management tool and the creation of a knowledge server that will enable those users with a WebTop to share information between other users. Highly flexible, these tools can be used to facilitate communication. For example, consumers can extend their desktops to the Web, a college student can exchange information with a professor, or vendors can share sales leads.

The virtual office solution provides users with comprehensive productivity tools as well as full desktop support. Users benefit from a multi-channel portal, online collaboration, content management, Web publishing, 24/7 desktop support, data back-up, disaster recovery, and access to all their desktop files anytime, anywhere. Since MARSYS' global utility infrastructure is a fully redundant network, end user satisfaction is ensured 99.999 percent. With comprehensive services for providing applications on-demand, the solution enables productivity and flexibility while also decreasing costs.

"MARSYS created our Global Utility-Based IT Services to meet today's businesses needs," said Neil Park, president and CEO of MARSYS. "Our global managed environment provides centralized management of business applications, complete with high availability, high levels of security, and the ability to meet varying bandwidth needs of global users and communities. WebTops provides an easy-to-use collaborative tool suite that is very complimentary to our solution."

In Q3 2004, Promosoft Corporation, a global leader and key WebTops partner in the promotion of best-of-breed software, will market the MARSYS and WebTops integrated solution to a host of customers ranging from small businesses and individuals to a diversified group of strategic partners. Additionally, the solution will also be available directly from MARSYS and WebTops.

"It is our mission to provide world-class software solutions for our consumer and corporate partners around the world," said Michael Lansdown, chairman and CEO of Promosoft Corporation. "The powerful combination of WebTops' robust collaborative tools and MARSYS' reliable hosting and secure data archiving infrastructure provides our end customers with simple solutions that can address their productivity needs and complex IT problems."
