Adept, Inc. Teams With Hyperwave to Supply Corporate Portal Solutions On the Web

E-Business Integrator to Use Advanced Software to Simplify, Improve Knowledge Management

October 12, 1999

ADEPT, Inc., a leading information technology consulting firm, today announced a strategic partnership with Hyperwave Information Management, Inc. of Westford, Mass. to deliver corporate portal and knowledge management solutions for organizations using Web technology. Under the agreement, the ADEPT E-Business Solutions Division will extend the capabilities of its e-business integration services for Fortune 1000 and government clients by using Hyperwave's award-winning technology.

In addition, the two companies will cooperate in marketing activities. The first is this week's Gartner Group Symposium/ITxpo 99 in Buena Vista, Fla., where Hyperwave is demonstrating its products at the Emerging Technologies Pavilion (booth #6505). ADEPT is joining Hyperwave at the event to highlight the time-to-market advantages and the improved results that the new partnership can bring to e-business initiatives.

The ADEPT E-Business Solutions Division provides organizations with strategy, design, and deployment services geared to the fast-paced demands of e-business. ADEPT's fast-track development approach includes the use of best-in-class software to reduce the time needed to bring business functions to the Web, while ensuring high quality of the solution.

Hyperwave's industry-leading software products enable organizations to manage the increasing flow of information using Web technology. Its Hyperwave Information Server delivers a powerful platform for developing intranet and extranet knowledge-sharing applications. A new product, the Hyperwave eKnowledge Portal (HIP), is built on the Hyperwave Information Server infrastructure. Unlike corporate portals based on traditional technology, HIP is the only solution that does not require the time of dedicated specialists to publish content and maintain up-to-date links.

With HIP, users can rapidly submit, exchange, find, access, and personalize information from anywhere, anytime they choose. Corporate portal applications enable organizations to publish, manage, and access an array of internal and external information and resources using a Web interface. Documents, images, database reports, external news sources, e-mail, videos, Web pages and more can be accessed and exchanged. The ability to aggregate, organize, discover, protect, and share this business-critical information is the vital technology component of knowledge management. The potential for vastly improved knowledge-sharing and collaboration is a key reason why so many companies build intranets and extranets, and why a growing number look to corporate portals as a major step in their knowledge management initiatives.

"We are excited to partner with ADEPT to offer corporate portal and knowledge management solutions to organizations. With its strong base in the eastern U.S. and expertise in implementing e-business solutions, ADEPT is a superb complement to Hyperwave technology," said Gary McGrath, Hyperwave general manager of North America operations.

"Hyperwave solutions provide a practical way to organize large amounts of diverse corporate information on the Web so that it is always accessible and always current. And because Hyperwave technology is completely open and easily customized, ADEPT gains great flexibility to address client needs. Hyperwave's unique features make it far easier to publish, manage, and access content on intranets and extranets -- bringing new efficiency and effectiveness to an otherwise daunting task," said Rick Schwartz, vice president of E-Business Solutions at ADEPT.
