OPTIVIEW TECHNOLOGIES REPACKAGES PRODUCTS TO BENEFIT CUSTOMERS

DULLES, VA—June 1, 2001—In their first major move since bringing on a new executive team, OptiView Technologies (www.optiview.com), a leading provider of Web content acceleration services, today announced redefined product offerings that better align with the varying needs of their customers. In a move away from frequency- and volume-based pricing to a packaged, annual service agreement that includes any level of service the customer requires, OptiView now provides increased flexibility and simplified procurement cycles for their customers.

Our customers are telling us that this new system buys them comfort and assurance that their content is delivering the best possible user experience," said Bob Lentz, Vice President of Strategy. "Providing this service to many different Web properties—each with highly variable content strategies—requires us to be flexible to their needs. This new product strategy puts us in a working, flexible relationship with our customers to ensure that their needs are met throughout their relationship with OptiView."

OptiView's SiteScan product will now provide the ultimate flexibility in content analysis and scheduled optimization scans. Customers will be able to define and schedule as many scans as are required to ensure that their user experience stays the best it possibly can, and that their Web site consistently operates at peak efficiency. In addition, customers with annual commitments for the soon-to-be-launched RealTime product will be provided access to SiteScan's powerful Toolbox.

Our new strategy brings us closer then ever before to our customers," stated Lentz. "Working with them to determine their requirements, executing the correct solution, and evolving it as their needs change provides us with excellent feedback to our product management processes. We are excited about our new customer relationships and products—they come as a direct result of listening to our customers and evolving our service based on their input."
