Leading On-Demand Collaboration Provider Donates Service to Help Families and Friends Keep in Touch with Loved Ones Serving Overseas

Woburn, MA (December 20, 2004) - Intranets.com (http://www.intranets.com), the world's leading provider of on-demand collaboration services, today announced that it is donating its collaboration service to U.S. soldiers serving overseas who are seeking a way to stay in touch with loved ones. The Intranets.com offer addresses the many barriers soldiers face when trying to maintain close contact with family and friends back home, delivering an online meeting place to help soldiers keep in touch during their tour of duty. To take advantage of this offer, eligible parties can visit http://www.intranets.com/supportourtroops.

"Prior to my deployment, I was concerned about how I was going to stay in contact with my family and friends, an issue that has been problematic in the past. Intranets.com said they could change all of that and they have," said Captain Ken Dilg, U.S. Army Reserves, stationed in Iraq. "I can now use the Intranets.com service to quickly share pictures and receive messages, even when time is in short supply. Members of the site don't have to fish through old emails to find my mailing address or pictures I've sent because it's all laid out in an organized format. Now, my family and friends can easily follow my daily life and I can better follow theirs."

"Our service is designed as a robust collaboration application for businesses looking to streamline their operations and improve productivity," said Karen Leavitt, vice president of marketing at Intranets.com. "It can also provide a communications forum for men and women stationed overseas. A business customer might pay $100 per month or more to keep co-workers connected. Given the sacrifice these soldiers are making, we felt that donating our service was the least we could do."

Eligible servicemen and women interested in taking advantage of this offer may visit the 'Support Our Troops' page: http://www.intranets.com/supportourtroops, then follow the simple step-by-step setup to instantly begin sharing pictures, discussions, and family news, no matter where they are. Since Intranets.com is available entirely online, it only requires a simple web connection, nothing more. Soldiers and their families can access it from any computer with nothing to download or install.

This offer is part of an ongoing community outreach effort from Intranets.com. In the past, the company donated its service to the 9/11 United Services Group to help 40 disparate associations better share and collaborate on information vital to the 9/11 recovery effort. It also offered its service during the 2004 Democratic National Convention to help Boston-area businesses maintain operations when many workers were unable to get to the office due to traffic restrictions.
