CLICKACTION AND BROADVISION INTEGRATE SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE ADVANCED EMAIL MARKETING/E-MESSAGING CAPABILITIES

XML Technology Enables Major Clients Like Pitney Bowes to Synchronize Subscriber Information in Real-Time

PALO ALTO, Calif. (September 5, 2000) – ClickAction™ Inc. (Nasdaq: CLAC) today at the BroadVision Partner Training conference announced the development of an XML based profile data exchange feature for BroadVision One-To-One‘ Enterprise clients. Delivering on the companies’ on-going commitment to integrate industry-leading technologies, ClickAction's XML Automatic Data Transfer (XML-ADT) allows BroadVision users to seamlessly and automatically synchronize subscriber profile data with their ClickAction e-marketing Profile Database.

By utilizing the XML-ADT, subscriber information entered by a visitor on a Web site using BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise can be automatically transferred to ClickAction in a secure, XML based transaction. ClickAction and BroadVision clients will benefit by having real-time, secure, profile data available in the ClickAction Email Relationship Management (ERM) service, ensuring those clients deliver personal, relevant and timely email marketing/e-messaging information.

The first of several mutual clients to utilize XML-ADT is Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI), a leader in business outsourcing that offers advanced end-to-end business solutions to their clients. Pitney Bowes has made a strategic commitment in BroadVision technology to drive their e-commerce initiatives. The XML format will allow Pitney Bowes to leverage their commitment by integrating their BroadVision applications with ClickAction ERM to drive highly targeted email marketing/
e-messaging campaigns. Pitney Bowes looks forward to other opportunities to strengthen their eCRM capabilities.

"ClickAction and BroadVision have developed a unique partnership that will offer clients cutting-edge email marketing/e-messaging technology," said George Grant, senior vice president of marketing for ClickAction. "XML-ADT is the first of many steps between ClickAction and BroadVision to integrate our respective industry-leading technologies. As an important XML-ADT client, Pitney Bowes will gain a true best-of-breed service."
