Multiple Market Segments Like Real Estate See Benefits From Real-Time Collaboration Tools

BOSTON (October 29, 2001) - Intranets.com, (www.intranets.com) the world's largest provider of Web-based intranets, has met the trials of a challenging economic market with increasingly dispersed workforces by supplying superior business collaboration products to small and medium-sized businesses. The company continues its commitment to delivering real time business critical tools to workers in a cost-effective package.

Especially in industry segments where users are constantly on the go - or working in different office locations - the ability to access calendars, documents and contacts is paramount. A Web based intranet, combined with Intranets.com's wireless access features, puts vital information at worker's fingertips wherever they may be. Feedback from industry segments indicates the company's intranet collaboration tools keep on providing real business benefits to its subscribers.

In a recent poll of real estate broker customers, 90% of Intranets.com's current user base reports a marked improvement in efficiency and sales results that can be attributed to the deployment of an Intranets.com intranet.

"We need different documents, such as listing forms, sample letters, logos and customer presentations to be a success," said Vicky Flick, market center administrator for Keller Williams Realty's San Francisco Properties office. "Since we started keeping this information on our intranet our associates have access to forms, contact information, and schedules, from where-ever they are so they can concentrate on building their businesses. For real estate professionals who are always on the go, not having the right stuff at the right time could be a deal breaker. Keller Williams® is a learning based company, emphasizing training to the highest level, so it is important to our top producers to have the training calendar and event reminders always up-to-date"

Real estate agents find themselves working from their homes, cars and client locations, but rarely a central office. The Web-based document sharing, contact directory and announcement posting capabilities that Intranets.com provides means that the latest information is always available. Additionally, Intranets.com's commitment to customization enables individual brokerages and offices to personalize the look and feel of their intranet - adding another layer of specialization.

"By concentrating on providing critical business applications in a mobile package we're able to enhance our leadership position in various market segments, like real estate," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Intranets.com. "A simple Internet connection opens the door to a virtual office where users access and share knowledge. It is gratifying to see our customers succeed and to play a part in their success."
