IMPATICA ADDS POWERFUL NAVIGATION FEATURES TO ITS
STREAMING POWERPOINT™ PRODUCT
Hyperlinks for User Navigation and Web Integration Now Supported for Internet and E-mail Delivery

OTTAWA, Canada - May 7, 2001 - impatica.com inc., a leading developer of plug-in free, interactive rich streaming media software products, today announced powerful new features for impatica for PowerPoint.

impatica for PowerPoint is a breakthrough product that enables plug-in free delivery of streaming PowerPoint presentations over the Internet or through e-mail. With impatica for PowerPoint, you can deliver narrated, animated PowerPoint presentations, including transitions and navigation, to essentially any Internet connected device at speeds as low as 28.8.

"Until now, converting PowerPoint training materials to a Web-based delivery format was expensive and complex," says Richard Repucci, Web Applications Project Manager, Hewlett-Packard. "impatica for PowerPoint not only retains PowerPoint's rich media functionality, but also compresses the file by as much as 95%. In addition to online delivery of traditional PowerPoint presentations, impatica for PowerPoint is the simplest and most efficient way to add rich streaming media to web sites and e-mail content."

"This latest release incorporates support for hyperlinks to other slides within a presentation, to other PowerPoint presentations, to other impaticized content, to Web pages and to Internet 'sendmail'," explained Michael Doyle, Chairman and CEO of Impatica. "These new features enable seamless user navigation and web integration and are especially important for online training, CRM and e-business applications."

impatica for PowerPoint complements impatica's first product - impatica for Director - that converts Macromedia Director™ files for Internet delivery.Impatica plans to develop additional content conversion products and new content authoring products over the coming year.
