Process Software Corporation to embed Verity's Topic Search Engine in
Purveyor-Branded Web Servers

Partnership Delviers Publishing and Backoffice Platform for WebSite
Developers and VARs

FRAMINGHAM, MASS. 23 OCTOBER, 1995, PROCESS SOFTWARE CORPORATION, -- a
developer of World Wide Web server software, and Verity, Inc., a provider
of search and retrieval applications for the enterprise and the Internet,
today announced the forging of a marketing and technology alliance for the
development of integrated platforms for the Internet and internal,
Web-based backoffice applications. As part of the agreement, Process
Software will embed Verity's Topic search engine in the company's
Purveyor-branded Web server software line. The agreement also extends to
joint business and marketing activities between the two companies,
designed to offer a wide range of complementary solutions to end-user
customers and resellers.

"As our Web products business expands, we continue to focus the majority of
our development efforts on the business to business, and intra- business
aspects of the Web, as well as the simplification of backoffice
applications," said Process Software president and chief executive officer
Philip Denzer. "Verity's open partnering philosophy, combined with their
search technology, make them a perfect fit with our on- going development
efforts."

Verity provides a suite of products and technologies for information
search, retrieval and filtering. Complementary products to the Topic
embedded search within Purveyor-branded WebServers will include Topic CD
Publisher - integrating CD ROM and Internet-based publishing, and the
Topic Agent Server, under development - which monitors static and dymanic
information sources for personal areas of interest and automatically
delivers relevant information to users.

"Verity provides searching, filtering and publishing tools to enable
partner products, such a Purveyor WebServers, to better address the new
market for Web information publishing applications," said Philippe
Courtot, chairman and CEO of Verity, Inc. "Process Software's vision of an
'Intranet' server platform for corporate applications captures the essence
of this new opportunity - and their distribution channel strategy shows a
clear understanding of how these internal Web applications will reach the
market."

The momentum generated by Process Software's Purveyor - particularly the
new, version 1.1 release of the Purveyor WebServer for Windows NT, which
includes backoffice database integration features - combined with the
ubiquity of Verity's Topic search technology is a compelling combination
for resellers interested in entering the expanding Internet market.
Purveyor WebServers with Topic-enabled search are an ideal platform for
resellers, SIs and consultants building corporate Internet applications.
