InterMax Solutions Formed to Provide Client/Server Intranet Solutions to
Fortune 1000 Corporations

SAN MATEO, CALIF. -- APRIL 16, 1996 -- The formation of InterMax Solutions,
Inc., a new company headquartered in San Mateo was announced today. The
new company is focused on providing client/server solutions for mission
critical applications by offering rapid development, ease of change and
immediate deployment using the Internet or corporate Intranet. InterMax
Solutions' unique combination of technology, consulting and training
services positions the company as a leading provider of client/server
application solutions for the corporate sector.

The new organization's flagship product Sydney is based on the application
development and execution engine from Symantec Corporation's (Nasdaq:SYMC)
award-winning Team Enterprise Developer product, combined with Internet
technology extended by DBSS, Inc. DBSS, formerly a client/server
consulting and training firm servicing the Fortune 1000, had been looking
for a toolset to add to their design services in order to provide a total
solution for corporate applications development that takes advantage of
the rise in intranetworking. Leslie McNeill, former chief executive
officer of DBSS has been named president and CEO of InterMax Solutions and
Ted Schlein, Symantec's vice president of networking and client/server
technology will serve on the InterMax Solutions board of directors.

"Mission-critical applications in the corporate environment must deliver
decision support information with security, control and in a
cost-effective manner," McNeill said. "Our development environment,
Sydney, provides the rapid development and ease of change required by
corporate customers combined with immediate deployment featuring an HTML
view of all aspects of the application UI. The HTML view is created
dynamically at execution time and is visible to the client with no HTML
coding required via the Internet/intranet communications capability," he
added.

"Symantec recognizes the need in corporate IS for a total solution based on
client/server application development technology. The combination of
InterMax Solutions' expertise with Internet/intranet technology and the
Enterprise Developer engine provides a powerful solution to solve
enterprise-wide application development problems," said Symantec's
Schlein.

InterMax Solutions is privately held with Symantec holding a minority
ownership. The Symantec Enterprise Developer technology will be used by
InterMax Solutions as core technology. Future development, marketing,
sales and support services will be determined by InterMax Solutions. In
addition to its San Mateo headquarters, InterMax Solutions has a sales and
support office in the Philadelphia area, and has established offices in
the United Kingdom to service and support customers in Europe. The company
also maintains a development office in Melbourne, Australia.

Technical support will be available for existing Enterprise Developer
customers for a limited time, after which a migration path will be
available for those customers wishing to upgrade to the Sydney
Applications Environment. For companies interested in any of the InterMax
Solutions products and services call (415) 358-5900.
