neoIT's Proprietary Technology to Power Four Services Marketplaces at Leading Portals and Associations

SAN RAMON, CA - Aug. 30, 2001 -- neoIT today announced the licensing of its MarketMaker technology to three leading portals and a premier technology association. CyberIndia Online (CIOL), GlobalOutsourcing.org, Net Exhibitors (HITDecisions.com), and the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) will use neoIT's MarketMaker technology to power their services marketplaces -- enabling their users to automate the outsourcing of technology, business and consulting services. Armed with a suite of web-native sourcing, procurement and project collaboration modules, users streamline the services value chain and minimize the cost and risk associated with outsourcing complex services.

"Even during an economic downturn, customers demand new, better and more innovative technology products. Technology executives are no strangers to outsourcing, but 80% of Fortune 1000 organizations lack a formal procurement process for technology services" Eugene Kublanov, Vice President -- Business Development, neoIT commented. "From RFP to services delivery, neoIT's end-to-end technology solutions deliver true value to our customers at every phase of the outsourcing process."

"At HITdecisions.com, we are creating the Web's primary resource for healthcare information and technology products and services. The addition of neoIT provides our site visitors with a superior tool for the selection and management of outsourced IT solutions," said Net Exhibitors cofounder Julie Hopkins.

"Many of our members are providers or users of technology solutions. By offering neoIT's MarketMaker technology to our members we are providing them with a powerful marketing and procurement tool to reach a global market" commented Lauren Hall, Vice President at SIIA. "Now, when a member company inquires about a specific IT solution, we can point them to our co-branded services marketplace."

"Effective sourcing and procurement of IT professional services continues to be a major challenge for Global 2000 companies. Utilizing technology solutions that enhance sourcing, procurement, management and offer access to global service providers benefit both buyer and service provider organizations." Comments Ted Kempf, principal analyst at Gartner Dataquest.
