Verity to Address the 2002 Air Force Information Technology Conference

Director of Solutions Marketing Kevin Lindsay to Speak on Content Organization and Search Technologies for Distributed, Complex Portals

Sunnyvale, Calif. - 2002-08-26 - Verity Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of infrastructure software powering corporate intranets and e-commerce sites as well as e-business applications, today announced that Kevin Lindsay, director of solutions marketing, will deliver a presentation at the Air Force Information Technology Conference (AFITC) on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 10:30 to 11:15a.m. at the Montgomery Civic Center in Montgomery, Ala.

Lindsay will explore, "Five Considerations for Organizing and Searching Content on Distributed, Complex Portals." Using examples from the My.AirForce portal, which will connect more than 28,000 legacy information systems and more than 1,500 Air Force Web sites and intranets around the world, Lindsay will discuss the features that an advanced search and organization solution should contain. These features include a robust spidering solution, document-level security, a scalable and fault-tolerant distributed architecture, an efficient classification system and easy integration with existing systems and other vendors' products.

The U.S. Air Force is deploying Verity's K2-based portal infrastructure software for the My.AirForce portal. Verity's K2 Spider with support for 128-bit secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption will index and store documents in hundreds of formats from thousands of internal and external locations so that users can find content quickly and with the highest available security. In addition, Verity's content organization technology will combine automatic classification with domain expertise to help users navigate through familiar directories and categories to find exactly what they need.

"I am proud to support the Air Force IT Conference's mission to help DoD personnel stay current on the latest technologies and learn of future industry offerings and advances," said Lindsay. "I look forward to sharing Verity's experience in helping the Air Force manage the complexities of My.AirForce portal and enabling more than one million authorized users to quickly and accurately access information on everything from deployment logistics to local family services."

Lindsay is responsible for Verity's product pricing, market and competitive analysis and industry analyst relations. Lindsay joined Verity as product marketing manager in 1997 and was promoted to director of product marketing in 2000. Prior to joining Verity, Lindsay spent two years in product marketing at FTP Software in Canada.

The AFITC, being held Aug. 26-29, is open to active duty military and federal government employees. The Air Force's Standard Systems Group at Maxwell Air Force Base and the City of Montgomery have co-sponsored the conference since it began in 1983 as the Air Force Small Computer Conference.
