Citadon® Announces Launch of ProjectNet™ Small Team Edition

Low Cost, Fast-Start Version of Award Winning Solution for Collaboration and Document Management Targeted Specifically for Small Project Groups

Introductory offers - 30-day free trial, $70 per user/month

San Francisco - October 4, 2004 - Citadon, the leader in integrated Web-based collaboration, document management and business process management solutions, today announced the immediate availability of Citadon ProjectNet™ Small Team Edition (STE). Specifically designed to meet the needs of emerging project groups, ProjectNet STE is an easily accessible, cost efficient, Web-based document management solution that enables real-time collaboration and information sharing among team members. ProjectNet STE is a new, lower cost version of ProjectNet, Citadon's award-winning integrated, end-to-end document management solution for large corporations with enterprise-wide projects.

"Organizations of every size face the challenge of bringing together project teams, and managing the constant flow of changes in project deliverables," said Howard Koenig, president and CEO of Citadon. "ProjectNet STE provides a fast and easy way for individuals within organizations or departments to quickly manage and organize project documents, and to enhance their ability to collaborate with team members and partners with minimal investment. This new STE edition harnesses the same technology and power of ProjectNet and provides a migration path to our suite of world-class collaboration and process management products."

ProjectNet enables users to store, track and manage changes to documents for projects on a global enterprise scale, improving communication between project team members and integrating decisions into a comprehensive workflow. ProjectNet STE delivers the same collaborative benefits, including calendar scheduling, threaded discussion and messaging capabilities, and creating a reliable audit trail, but as a solution scaled to meet the needs of a single project team. ProjectNet STE can be deployed quickly since it is an 'on-demand' solution that requires no software installation. It is priced at $70.00 per user per month, making world-class collaboration and document management easily available to any department or organization.

"We have used Citadon ProjectNet for over five years in over fifty engineering, design, procurement, and consulting projects," said John Irish, senior IT consultant for Chicago-based Sargent & Lundy LLC, a professional services firm specializing in electric power projects. "Given the complex nature of engineering and building these one-of-a-kind facilities, Project Net has become essential - and not just for managing project documents and deliverables. The collaboration capabilities within ProjectNet are invaluable, in terms of the speed and accuracy with which we can respond to situations occurring in the field. In some cases, issues that might have taken three days to resolve can now be addressed the same day."

ProjectNet has been adopted for a variety of collaborative applications, including architecture, engineering and construction, government, transportation, power and energy, oil and gas, supply chain and manufacturing, and industries where document management and business project management help eliminate paperwork and shorten time to market.
