Verity and HP Announce Worldwide Alliance to Complement HP E-services Offerings

SUNNYVALE and PALO ALTO, CA. - 2000-11-06 - Verity, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of infrastructure software that powers enterprise and e-commerce portals as well as e-business applications, and Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HWP) today announced an alliance to complement HP's Enterprise Commerce (EC) and Enterprise Business Portal (EBP) solutions. The alliance calls for the tight integration of the Verity K2 Toolkit with HP's enterprise solutions, and includes a co-marketing relationship and a reseller agreement, providing HP the capability for reselling Verity's entire product line to its worldwide customer base.

As part of the EBP solution, Verity's leading business portal technology provides search capabilities for corporate, e-commerce and market exchange portal customers. The Verity K2 Toolkit also delivers highly scalable and precise advanced search capabilities to HP's EC platform. In support of the alliance, Verity has trained HP's consulting worldwide on K2 and its advanced search capabilities.

"HP is a leader in delivering powerful, proven, and personalized e-services solutions to the largest global corporations," said Adina Crossley, director of channel programs for Verity. "We are pleased to join the ranks of HP's premier partners for delivering mission-critical e-commerce solutions to customers worldwide, and we fully endorse HP's programs and solutions."

"Our continuing goal is to work with our strategic partners to deliver integrated solutions to the world's largest e-commerce sites. For large e-commerce sites, a solution that provides high-speed performance, precise search results, scalability, reliability and fault-tolerance is a mission-critical requirement," said Ronald Lim, worldwide business development manager, HP Complementary Products Division. "E-tailers know that if their customers can't find what they're looking for quickly and easily, they won't purchase. Verity K2 was the obvious choice for rounding out our powerful e-services suite."

Verity's advanced technology augments HP's Enterprise Commerce solution by arming e-businesses with more advanced text-retrieval precision, scalability and application-integration features needed to customize product-catalog navigation, to search extremely large volumes of content across multiple servers, and to provide fast results to large numbers of users shopping online. The Verity K2 Toolkit delivers an impressive combination of high-speed performance and concept-based search, enabling customers to locate what they want, no matter how simple or complex the query.
