GMAC B2B Credit, ProfitScape(TM) and Informix(R) Align To Announce a New Way to 'Do Business(TM)' with eNET30(TM)

    DETROIT, LAS VEGAS, and WESTBORO, Mass., Nov. 14 GMAC B2B
Credit, ProfitScape.com and Informix announced today, in a joint press
release, that the three companies have aligned to launch eNET30(TM), a "B2B"
commercial payment system.
    The strategic powerhouse plans to formally launch the eNET30(TM) payment
solution during first quarter, 2001.  The eNET30(TM) solution provides systems
and technology to corporations, trade shows and e-market places which allows
them to close B2B industrial size transactions online in a real-time
environment.
    The eNET30(TM) partnership provides for joint marketing, distribution and
technology.  The GMAC branded eNET30(TM) system will allow e-marketplaces,
trades shows and corporations to provide financial services to their customers
electronically.
    The eNET30(TM) system has been market tested through Bill Communications,
Inc., a VNU Company (f.k.a Miller Freeman, a.k.a, United Media) which owns and
operates 90 trade shows in the United States.  "This solution works in a
'bricks to clicks' environment which made it a very appealing solution for
us", explains Sam Bundy, Vice President of Bill Communications, Inc.  "The
adoption rate with the vendors was over 32% in less than 6 months time from
the ASD/AMD trade show launch.  The eNET30(TM) system is obviously a very
desirable B2B payment solution in our arena."
    "Our initial concept was to provide technology that would allow companies
to close online.  As we were developing, patenting and testing the eNET30(TM)
system, we found that companies needed a B2B payment solution to assure
payment on all their receivables and not just transactions that close over the
Internet," stated Dr. Ranel Erickson, ProfitScape's Chief Technology Officer
and a co-founder of Purchasepro.com.
    The patent pending eNET30(TM) system is powered by Informix(R) software.
"It is a rare opportunity to be a partner in the development of technology
that has the potential of actually improving the way we all do business.  We
are very delighted about being a part of this alliance" states Jamie Arnold,
Chief Financial Officer of Informix(R) Corporation.
    GMAC Financial Services announced their new GMAC B2B Credit division
during the second quarter of this year.  "We believe the eNET30(TM) system is
a perfect vehicle to provide our financial services to B2B exchanges,
corporations and tradeshows in a very scalable environment", explains Jay
Craig, Chief Financial Officer of GMAC Commercial Finance,  "This alliance
makes perfect sense to us.  Each company has their own area of expertise;
ProfitScape and Informix provide the technology backbone and GMAC provides the
financial services foundation."
