"We are excited about the new capabilities SharedVue brings us," said
Robert Faletra, Everything Channel CEO. "By adding this technology to our
solutions we can offer our vendor customers the ability to syndicate content
across thousands of partner websites in multiple languages instantly. If a
vendor changes product information on their website, SharedVue's product
Syndic8 immediately populates those changes on every one of its solution
provider partner websites so that all sites have the most current marketing
message to the end user," Faletra noted. "In addition, we can provide
incredible reporting capabilities with SharedVue's product set. This will
allow us to tie syndication and marketing automation together with demand
generation capabilities to accelerate sales for vendors that work with us and
drive more revenue through the channel."

Reid Overcash, CEO of SharedVue said "We are thrilled to combine our
products and technology with the resources of Everything Channel. We believe
we have a best of breed solution here that solves a real set of problems
faced by manufacturers as well as their solution provider partners.
Everything Channel can help customers deploy this rapidly and in such a way
that it drives sales for partners and suppliers alike."

"HP's partnership with SharedVue has enabled us to help hundreds of our
partners strengthen their messaging alignment with HP through the HP
Solutions Showcase. Together we have made it easier and faster for channel
partners to leverage the critical HP content and transform their websites
into more successful demand generation engines." Says Katie Spence, US
Partner Marketing, Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking,
Hewlett-Packard.

A proven market leader for more than 30 years with customers spanning all
industries, Everything Channel offers the tools necessary to build an
effective channel strategy, recruit and enable partners, and accelerate
technology sales. With this announcement, SharedVue customers will now have
access to Everything Channel's global brands and market intelligence to
better execute effective marketing campaigns. Current SharedVue customers who
struggle to maximize the value of the tools due to lack of resources, will
benefit from direct access to Everything Channel's dedicated team of field
sales & marketing and demand generation experts to alleviate the drain on
time and resources.

"A lot of people confuse content distribution with syndication, but most
don't really understand what true content syndication is," said Faletra.
"Some publishers and media companies talk about distributing content like
whitepapers through their various web and email platforms and call that
content syndication. That's just content distribution. Content syndication is
the ability for companies to engage their channel partners to create a direct
pipeline for their valuable web content to those partners' websites and, as a
result, their partners' ultimate customers. And then when those marketers
change or alter that content through the SharedVue administration console, it
automatically changes on their partners' sites dynamically, as well. That's
Content Syndication."

Overcash adds, "The value of content syndication and marketing automation
to the channel is illustrated by the exponential adoption our manufacturer
clients are seeing from their solution providers. Many of our clients see a
200-400% increase in solution providers using syndication and marketing
automation."

In today's economy, most organizations are forced to do more with less
without compromising on quality. By integrating syndication and automation
solutions with innovative field sales & marketing resources for managing and
accelerating technology sales, Everything Channel and SharedVue will enable
manufacturers and solution providers alike to better connect with and service
their end-users. Highlights of the new integration include:

    - Everything Channel's veteran Field Sales & Marketing (FSM) Team engages
      with partners to enable them to fully benefit from SharedVue's Syndic8,
      to seamlessly and automatically update product content regularly to
      channel partner websites to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
    - Everything Channel's experienced Demand Generation team can assist in
      creation of marketing campaigns to populate SharedVue's Communic8, a
      web-based partner console to promote products and services through the
      channel while the FSM team provides ongoing tele-support for campaigns
      to ensure proper execution and alleviate drain on time and resources.
    - Manufacturers and solution providers can then measure campaign success
      and manage their syndication output through a SharedVue Facilit8
      program, to assist with organizing and managing the solutions on an
      ongoing basis.

With the addition of SharedVue products, Everything Channel customers
will benefit from a cloud-based infrastructure to become better marketers of
enterprise companies' products, help build greater market awareness and forge
lasting and meaningful relationships.
