WordCruncher Internet Technologies Announces Strategic Shift in Launch Schedule Business Editors SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1999-- Strong Partner Response Stimulates Infrastructure Build-out In order to accommodate its strong response from web-based service partnerships, WordCruncher Internet Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: WCTI) announced today that it is extending the launch of its Internet service to Q1 2000. In April 1999, WCTI announced plans to build a preeminent on-line resource to streamline the information-gathering process for business professionals. Since the announcement, WCTI has compiled a comprehensive, easy-to-search business site directory positioned to be competitive with other leading directories. WCTI also has received strong response from many of the top web-based information services to further build its depth of content. This encouraging response has created the need for an expanded support system to accommodate its services offered. "We are extremely pleased with the successful strategic relationships WCTI has generated to date," said Dan Lunt, president and CEO of WCTI. "Extending the launch to Q1 2000 gives the Company an opportunity to build the most proficient support system to complement its robust directory and content." Strategic partnerships announced to date include the following: - Stockpoint[R] - the leading global provider of comprehensive financial information solutions for businesses seeking a financial component to their Internet strategy. - News Alert, Inc. - a leading provider of co-branded and outsourced content solutions to prominent financial and banking institutions, media companies and corporations. - CommTouch - a leading provider of outsourced email and messaging services for corporations and consumers worldwide. - MapQuest.com, Inc. - a leader in destination information solutions and digital mapping services. WCTI expects to announce other strategic partnerships, which are currently under development, by the close of 1999. Due to this enthusiastic response from partners, WCTI's projected launch date would have occurred later in Q4 1999 than anticipated. According to Lunt, the decision to launch in Q1 2000 is advantageous to reaching the target audience more effectively because its users will no longer be distracted by the traditional holiday marketing frenzy and this year's Y2K concerns. "Instead, business professionals will have renewed confidence in the technology available and will embrace tools that allow them to be more efficient, knowledgeable and successful," said Lunt.
