IntelliReach to Integrate the FAST InStream(TM) OEM Enterprise Search
Solution With its Next-Generation Messaging Management Solution

Fast Search & Transfer(TM) (FAST(TM)), the leading developer of enterprise
search and real-time alerting technologies, and IntelliReach Corporation, the
email lifecycle management company, today announced an OEM partnership to
enhance the search capabilities of IntelliReach’s next-generation messaging
management system. IntelliReach’s solution will be integrated with FAST
InStream(TM), an OEM-specific enterprise search solution developed specifically
to meet the complex application-based search requirements of independent
software vendors (ISVs).

IntelliReach plans to integrate FAST’s enterprise search solution into its
next-generation policy-based message management system, scheduled for
introduction later this year.

"We are very excited about the business value the combination of our
technologies will deliver," said Lance Urbas, President and CEO at
IntelliReach. "We want to deliver a highly scalable solution, as well as an
offering that provides flexibility for future development initiatives. Given
these requirements, partnering with FAST was the optimal decision."

"With the increased scrutiny and compliance issues associated with
corporate email, messaging management for large enterprises is an escalating
problem for which IntelliReach has a strong solution," said Ali I. Riaz,
FAST’s chief operating officer. "The ability to quickly search a company’s
messaging environment using multiple variables is extremely important to a
modern corporation. We are confident that FAST InStream will provide
IntelliReach’s customers significant value and we view IntelliReach’s
scalability requirements as yet another display of FAST InStream’s extreme
capabilities."

FAST InStream, FAST’s enterprise search solution specifically designed for
embedded delivery, is designed to increase the value of enterprise
applications and boost ROI for the partner’s customers by leveraging the power
of FAST Enterprise Search Platform (FAST ESP(TM)) technology. Supporting both
structured and unstructured data, FAST InStream provides unique value across
all types of software applications, and will be an asset to IntelliReach’s
suite of messaging management solutions, which include email archiving for
compliance, discovery and retention; Linux-based anti-spam, anti-virus and
