SEYBOLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO, CA – December 4, 2001 - WebWare Corporation, the leading Brand Resource Management (BRM) technology company, and eVision, the leader in visual search technology, today announced that the two companies will collaborate to offer clients enterprise level visual search, analysis and distribution solutions. Together they will focus first on applying their technology solution to help global retailers verify proper implementation of point-of-sale (POS), to enable certain image verification functions for government security organizations and to aid enterprise leaders in streamlining their brand compliance systems.

WebWare will integrate eVision's eVe™ 3 Professional visual search solution into the current 3.0 release of its WebWare MAMBO™ BRM software. Using eVision's technology, WebWare MAMBO users will be able to search for and manage their brand assets using visual content in addition to text metadata. By selecting an example "query image," users will rapidly search across their WebWare MAMBO asset repository and return a set of sorted images and videos based on visual similarity to the query image

The new functionality will provide clients with another powerful and effective way to ensure consistent global branding, a critical component of Brand Resource Management. WebWare will offer eVision's eVe 3 Professional as a value-added component available with its installed technology products.

"We are very excited about working with WebWare to incorporate our visual search solution into their WebWare MAMBO technology," said Dr. Mat Malladi, eVision co-founder and CEO. "Our search technology raises the bar for a new, more efficient way to search for critical brand assets -- visually."

"This partnership is another example of our dedication to meeting client needs and the extensibility of our BRM platform," said Lauren Flanagan, Chairman, President and CEO of WebWare Corporation. "Several of our clients expressed interest in having a visual search facility. The WebWare MAMBO platform allows us to readily integrate best of breed components such as eVision's eVe 3 Professional in order to offer a complete solution to ever changing client needs."

WebWare provides strategic value and personalized service to industry leading clients including Amgen, Boeing, Dupont, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, NFL, NTT, PentaMark Worldwide and The Jim Henson Company.
