VISIT SALESKIT AT BOOTH #1308, FIELD AND SALES FORCE AUTOMATION EXPOSITION,
SAN JOSE

ST. LOUIS, MO -- February 19, 1995 -- SalesKit Software, the leader in open
architecture sales force automation (SFA) software, today announced
support for Microsoft Exchange in its upcoming SalesKit OPEN version 5.2
release. Utilizing Microsoft Exchange as a universal transport within the
SalesKit OPEN interface, field and sales force professionals will be able
to send, receive and store data, e-mail and faxes in one easy-to-use
repository.

SalesKit OPEN, a client-server Microsoft-centric application, with
object-oriented development libraries, allows businesses to deploy proven
SFA solutions for a distributed field force in record time. With published
APIs and programming interfaces to SalesKit OPEN functions through
Microsoft C++ and Visual Basic, SalesKit Software provides the greatest
flexibility and integration capabilities of any SFA solution offered
today.

"We're extremely pleased that SalesKit is committed to Microsoft Exchange,"
said Kathleen Pierce Simonsen, worldwide industry manager, sales force
automation, at Microsoft. Microsoft Exchange is a secure way to connect to
the Internet, as well as an electronic mail server with integrated
groupware, providing an excellent messaging platform for the Internet."

ONE STOP MESSAGING AND DATA TRANSFER

While SalesKit OPEN supports a variety of email and remote connectivity
transports, the incorporation of Microsoft Exchange into the SalesKit
application suite will enable unprecedented ease-of-use to mobile users.
Rather than integrating separate email, fax and data transfer programs,
SalesKit OPEN customers can utilize one interface for all their
communications needs. Lead management and information management address
books will be linked to Microsoft Exchange allowing users to distribute
information directly from the Microsoft Exchange interface --
corporate-wide or to individual sales representatives or account
contacts.

"One persistent problem for mobile workers is mastering a variety of
programs and interfaces for fax, email and corporate data exchanges, "
said Wade Baker, president of SalesKit Software. "Our implementation of
Microsoft Exchange within SalesKit OPEN now gives them a powerful and
flexible easy-to-use communications interface. All their communications
needs are just a click away."

Whether the sales professional is within a contact management, appointment
or lead referral segment of the SalesKit OPEN program, Microsoft Exchange
is an available communications option, transferring data, email or faxes
with a few simple commands.

BI-DIRECTIONAL SYNCWARE: COMMUNICATION SYNCHRONIZATION SIMPLIFIED

SalesKit Software's unique SyncWare communications allows bi-directional
data and synchronization between corporate and mobile users. Coupled with
Microsoft Exchange, SyncWare allows seamless, two-way integration of
inbound and outbound data to and from mobile sites. Data collision
resolutions and data synchronization are handled entirely in the
background by SalesKit Software's SyncWare, while end users only have to
contend with one interface for all their communication's needs.

ADDITIONAL MICROSOFT INTEGRATION

SalesKit OPEN has already established itself as one of the most flexible
and easy to deploy sales force automation products with advanced
opportunity and contact management, product catalog and encyclopedia
features and the most fail-safe remote data synchronization capabilities
in the marketplace. Incorporation of both Microsoft BackOfficetm and front
office applications give SalesKit OPEN customers the highest level of
automation and ease-of-use. SalesKit Software will display a full range of
Microsoft integration at the Field and Sales Force Automation Exposition
in San Jose, February 19-21st. Among the highlights are:

 SQL Server and Microsoft Access integration with SalesKit OPEN
    data synchronization (SyncWare)
 Full support of ODBC, OLE and MAPI
 Simultaneous support of Windows NT Server and Workstation,
    Windows 95 and Windows 3.11
 Targeted Internet browsing and news delivery via Microsoft
    Internet Explorer and Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Mail Server
 Integration of corporate data warehouse and enterprise with
    SQL Server
 BackOffice integration with Microsoft Systems Management Server

In addition, SalesKit Software will highlight its unparalleled integration

suite of integrated sales management and productivity tools.
