FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Filanet Announces Flexible, Linux Open Development Platform for Enhanced
Services Delivery

Developers and OEM partners can create customized services for small and
remote offices

Sunnyvale, Calif., June 19th, 2001 – Filanet Corporation, a leading provider
of innovative and integrated platforms and services for small and remote
office networking, announced today the availability of the software
development kit (SDK) for the InterJak family of Internet service
appliances.  Filanet’s SDK allows developers and OEM partners to create and
customize services and solutions to enhance the networking environments of
small and remote offices. The Filanet InterJak platform is an embedded
system based on  the Linux operating system. The InterJak SDK provides the
appropriate tools, API’s, source code and documentation to enable porting
third-party applications, device drivers and customized web pages to the
InterJak.

The InterJak Internet service appliance securely delivers value-added
services to  remote small offices.  In addition to  WAN access (e.g. SDSL,
ADSL, ISDN, V.90) and standard LAN functions such as file and printer
sharing, small businesses are also able to  take advantage of services such
as VPN, content filtering, network monitoring, and bandwidth shaping.  With
the InterJak SDK, developers and OEM partners can develop branded services
that suit their customer’s specific needs and complement the rich feature
set currently available on the InterJak platform.

“We recognized early on in the development of the InterJak the boundless
opportunity to deliver a wide variety of services on the platform,” says
Avner Ben-Dor, Filanet’s founder and CEO. “With that in mind, we decided to
bundle  the appropriate tools to enable the developer community and our OEM
partners to create and customize services their customers demand. We’ve made
it easy  for our partners to quickly bring highly valued solutions to market
that better serve the small business market.”

The InterJak SDK can be used for various purposes, including developing and
porting services, modifying existing web based management interfaces and
applications on the InterJak, developing custom applications for niche
market solutions, and adding or modifying device drivers.

Pricing and Availability

The InterJak SDK consists of the tools, API’s, source code, documentation
and target hardware necessary to port and test software on the InterJak. The
InterJak SDK is available now for $795 and can be purchased at the Filanet
website, www.filanet.com/partners.
