ANTONY, November 13, 2000 - IntraNet Solutions�, Inc. (Nasdaq: INRS), a leading provider of Web content management solutions, and Nextenso, a leading editor and developer of multi-device Internet portal creation and management software, announced today an agreement allowing users of Internet portals powered by Nextenso to access virtually any office document from their mobile phone, wireless information device, computer and/or fixed-line Internet telephone using IntraNet Solutions Outside In� technology for transforming information to HTML and WML.

By incorporating the Outside In technology into its suite of applications and services, Nextenso enables its customers to offer their employees or subscribers the capability to read virtually any document format from anywhere and from any type of terminal. For example, users of Nextenso-powered portals can display email attachments as an HTML or WML file, or deliver them as faxes.

The demand for access to information is increasing at a tremendous rate. People want information at all hours of the day, in every location across the globe and on a variety of devices, whether its a mobile or fixed-line Internet phone, a TV set-top box, a laptop PC or a PDA, said Denis Attal, Nextenso CEO. Embedding Outside In into Nextensos applications and services allows us to better meet the needs of our clients, who are constantly searching for new, more efficient ways to access their office documents through any needed format.

Using the HTML Export product, Nextenso can continue to provide leading-edge Internet technologies while preserving their customers investment in legacy documents and applications.

Our partnership with Nextenso represents a critical extension of the wireless information chain, said Scott Norder, president of Intranet Solutions Information Exchange Division. Together, IntraNet Solutions and Nextenso can better serve carriers and corporate clients by providing their customers with instant access to complex information via Nextenso-powered multi-device portals.
