Woburn, MA (June 16, 2004) - Intranets.com (http://www.intranets.com), the world's leading provider of on-demand collaboration services, today announced that it is providing its collaboration service for free to Boston-area businesses affected by the upcoming Democratic National Convention. Through August 31, Intranets.com will offer its award-winning service free of charge to help commuters work productively from remote locations during the convention. The company's collaboration service allows workers to share documents, schedule meetings, exchange database information, assign tasks, post announcements, or conduct real-time meetings - all online - without having to be physically in the office. To sign up for the service, all an area business needs to do is visit http://www.intranets.com/dnc/.

"We are thrilled that Intranets.com has come forward to offer its services to area businesses that will be impacted by the upcoming convention," said Karen Grant, communications director for Boston 2004 Inc., the host committee for the Democratic National Convention. "Intranets.com has thousands of paying customers who use its service everyday to run their businesses more effectively. By opening up their service to companies in need, Intranets.com will be playing an important role in ensuring business as usual during this summer's convention."

Any DNC-affected area company can take advantage of the offer, which includes an online intranet featuring premium services such as web conferencing and 300 free audio-conferencing minutes. Intranets.com is donating any profits from additional paid audio minutes to Rosie's Place and The Pine Street Inn shelters. The sign-up process takes about five minutes and the value of the service ranges from a few hundred dollars to more than $1,000, depending on the number of users and length of use.

"As a Boston 2004 vendor, we are planning several delegate events as well as other events for a variety of organizations during the convention. Intranets.com will give our employees, event partners and other personnel from clients to suppliers a reliable collaboration tool to share information whether they are on the road, at home, or in the office," said Ally O'Connor, CEO at NXTevent, an event, meeting and destination management firm based in the Boston area. "This is a wonderful offer and we plan to take full advantage of the Intranets.com service to keep us all in touch and working productively throughout the convention. Intranets.com represents a new way of doing business at NXTevent."
