-- Viapoint Organizes Microsoft Office Users with
-- New Approach to Desktop Search
New desktop software finds, organizes and continuously delivers email, desktop information, web and news content you want to one place; Free trial Available at www.viapoint.com

BURLINGTON, MA - October 18, 2004 - Viapoint Corporation today announced the availability of Viapoint, the first software that finds, organizes and delivers e-mails, files, web and news content and automatically categorizes them by company, contact, groupings, projects and date range. Leading a new category of desktop search products, Viapoint uses the familiar look and feel of Windows Explorer, helping users spend less time searching and more time working in an organized and intuitive way. Viapoint also works in the background to continuously organize information and build a user repository that is quick, responsive and intuitive.

"We built Viapoint to give users control over the deluge of email, office documents, web and news content they work with every day. Now, users can know exactly where to go to review the various elements of conversations from today, yesterday or last year," said Aaron Abend, president of Viapoint. "I think we offer a simpler way for people to work. A powerful search tool is great, but who wants to spend all day searching for stuff? Viapoint's unique ability to automatically organize and categorize information puts all of a user's information in the right place - in context - helping users find what they need, when they need it."

With patent-pending technology built atop Microsoft's .NET framework, Viapoint goes beyond simple desktop search tools to help make Microsoft Office users much more productive. Viapoint's database automatically maintains and updates itself even when Viapoint is not running.

Product Features: Viapoint works with all of the common pieces of information and content Microsoft Office users struggle to organize every day, including:

Searching is executed rapidly as the user types. Users can search by file name, file type, date, contact, company, and more - and can sort by any parameter. Content is organized automatically in any way the user wishes.

"If my office looked anything like my computer, I'd be crushed under a mountain of paper," said Warren Thornthwaite of the Kimball Group, a Viapoint beta customer. "I've finally found something that can help me deal with the chaos - Viapoint!"

Advanced organization features enable users to:

Additionally, the product is capable of automatically launching the appropriate Microsoft Office applications in order to work with content and fully supports intuitive features that users have come to expect such as drag-and-drop and Microsoft Office clipboard functionality.

Pricing and Availability:
A 14 day free trial of Viapoint is immediately available for download at www.viapoint.com and requires a Windows-compatible PC running the Microsoft .NET platform on Windows 98, 2000 or XP. The product is also available for purchase and is priced at $29.99 for an annual subscription and $49.99 for a perpetual license.

About Viapoint:
