Introduces Developer Targeted Application for Emerging Enterprises

Rochester, NY - March 25, 2000 -- Phasedata, a business solutions integration firm specializing in customer-centered web solutions for emerging enterprises, today announced Phase�, a suite of integrated web-based business applications that enterprising web development companies can lease with minimal up-front investment. Phase� is the result of Phasedata's past merger with Teraxite Networks and a partnership with North Star Trade, a premier online developer of commerce and auction related content.

Phasedata's Phase� web-based solutions enable companies to leverage powerful technology solutions that support their growth strategies and manage their success. The customer-centered applications that are at the core of Phase� include electronic commerce, customer relationship management, and enterprise reporting. These business applications, based on Linux, mySQL Server and Apache Server, can be leased individually or as complete integrated solutions.

The math for Phase� is compelling. Forrester Research Inc. estimates that application services can cut monthly recurring costs by 30 to 50 percent, and that the market for hosting complex projects is projected to reach $8 billion by 2002, in contrast to simple Web site hosting, which is projected to reach $1billion in 2002. Most of the growth is expected to come from hosting applications such as electronic commerce software.
