FXall Pioneers the New Content Aggregation and Publishing Tool with Communicator Inc for the Benefit of More than 375 Buy-Side Clients White Plains, NY - December 16, 2002 - Communicator Inc, a leading provider of secure electronic communications services to Fortune 1000 companies, announced today the availability of a Co-Branding Portal Product within its Hub Content and Portals service. The new content aggregation and publishing tool has enabled FXall, a global portal for foreign exchange trading, to integrate its portal into its clients' workflow, making co-mingled content more readily accessible to end users. FXall chose the Hub Content and Portals service in May 2001 as a means to develop and operate its research platform based on Communicator's expertise in digital identity management, multi-enterprise content aggregation and experience operating gated community industry portals. Communicator Inc and FXall recently developed the Co-Branding Portal Product to meet the needs of FXall's more than 375 buy-side clients. The content aggregation and publishing tool allows these companies to present their internal research under their own brand, along with the research posted by the 43 global banks that serve as liquidity providers on the portal. The Co-Branding Portal Product also enables users to perform full-text searches across the portal's co-mingled content. Further, in conjunction with Hub IDÔ, Communicator Inc's unified digital identity management service, buy-side members can seamlessly navigate between the FXall portal and their private, co-branded Web pages. "At FXall, we are committed to meeting the specific and sophisticated requirements of our customers. In this instance, our clients needed a fast and easy way to aggregate and publish their research. We worked with Communicator Inc to develop the Co-Branding Portal Product to allow our buy-side clients to co-mingle their internal research with that posted by the liquidity providers on FXall," said Philip Weisberg, CEO of FXall. "FXall's members can get up and running quickly with this tool." "Communicator Inc's Co-Branding Portal Product gives the customers of organizations like FXall and Bond.Hub a low-cost, low-risk and fast-to-implement co-mingled content aggregation and publishing tool that makes their information more readily accessible to their permissioned users," said Fred Moran, product manager for Communicator Inc. "Unlike other portals with co-mingled information, our Co-Branding Portal Product retains the integrity of a portal's brand, as well as its participating clients' brands. Its really quite simple in its premise-- the more information that is readily available via one very popular user interface, the more frequently it will be used and therefore, the value of the content is greatly increased." Communicator's Hub Content and Portals service allows companies to guarantee delivery, securely publish content and control user access on a document level. The Co-Branding Portal Product comes with a password protected, Web-based publishing tool that allows authorized users to easily create their content online and to upload research and other content. Content tags are pre-defined and available online. The content can also be published in real-time via an API included in the Co-Branding Portal Product. Communicator Inc provides the hardware, software and hosting services for its Hub Content and Portals service, as well as other tools, services and training necessary for day-to-day management. The managed service includes 7 x 24 support and monitoring of applications, servers and network devices. Communicator Inc offers its Hub Content and Portals service to create and manage secure portals and gated communities in industries such as financial services, insurance, lifesciences and healthcare, energy, and government, among others. "Before our Hub Content and Portals service, companies had to develop their own means to co-mingle and distribute internally created content over the Web and into the user workflow," added Moran. "Creating and maintaining content aggregation and distribution technology is a time consuming and risky undertaking. Development takes many months and costs are often seven figures, not to mention the ongoing maintenance of the Web site. In addition, there is always concern with user acceptance, since the limited content posted on company intranets and extranets may not be enough to encourage frequent use." About Communicator Inc
