Rampant INFOWAVE CONFIRMS SUPPORT FOR MICROSOFT UNIFIED MESSAGING PLATFORM Microsoft and industry leaders unveil unified messaging strategy for knowledge workers Burnaby, British Columbia, June 9, 1999 - Infowave Software, Inc. (VSE: IWM) today announced that it has joined industry leaders such as Nortel Networks Corp., Lucent Technologies Inc. and Active Voice Corp. in developing and delivering solutions that support the Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) platform for unified messaging. Unified messaging provides knowledge workers with any-time, anywhere access via any phone or other device to a single inbox containing email, voicemail, fax and page messages. "We're pleased to be working with Infowave on their wireless communication products on the Exchange Server platform," said Dave Malcolm, group product manager for Exchange Server. "Accessing information around the clock and around the globe is critical for knowledge workers, and the combination of wireless access and unified messaging on Exchange will make users more productive and companies more competitive." With this initiative, Microsoft has put the spotlight on the momentum that Exchange Server is enjoying as the leading platform for unified messaging. As part of the Unified Messaging announcement, Microsoft is emphasizing its commitment to support its flourishing Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners including Infowave. The announcement also includes details about Microsoft Exchange "Platinum", the next generation of Exchange Server which includes an interface called Exchange Server Wireless Services (EWS) designed to help developers who create wireless messaging solutions.
