Product Launch

Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC 30 January 2001 KNOWLEDGE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS PLC LAUNCH OF ONLINE MARKET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC ('KTS'), the developer of proprietary software that aggregates and processes data, will shortly be launching a new web monitoring service called Company Sentinel Service. The majority of national and regional newspapers, magazines, radio and television broadcast entities now have a presence on the Internet as this provides an efficient medium to distribute continuously updating news. Powered by proprietary aggregation technology developed by subsidiary Cognita Technologies Limited, companies will be able to accurately track what is appearing on these media websites through the new Company Sentinel service. Subscribers will receive reports made available via daily e-mail or website delivery in a clear, concise and ordered manner. The Company Sentinel service, which will go live on 19 February, will be made available as a subscription-based service to organisations that need to know what relevant information is being communicated in the public domain. Typically organisations, such as quoted companies or agents acting on their behalf, subscribe to press monitoring services. Benefits to subscribers include: * Tracking and reporting on relevant online print publications and wire services * Monitoring of bulletin boards, discussion forums, newsgroups and electronic mailing lists (original content not appearing in print) * Scanning of TV and radio news sites * Keeping pace with what consumers and professionals are reading about services, products, industry and competitors * Monitoring the results of PR efforts A 'lite' version of the software will also be made available to investors on the Sharepages website (www.sharepages.com) and will give weight to their future investment decisions by enabling them to immediately gauge current perceptions and beliefs. Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer, CEO, commented: 'The growth of the Internet has highlighted major concerns over security and safeguarding against damaging and unwanted assaults in what is an uncontrolled space. The lack of the ability to monitor public reputation, rumours, stock manipulation and insider trading via the Internet has already caught a number of organisations short. We believe the new Company Sentinel service will lead the way in making companies understand the vital need to monitor the Internet. This will be the most comprehensive, trusted and affordable way to keep up with what is being said online.' 30 January 2001 Enquiries: Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC Tel: 020 8795 2700 Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer, Chief Executive College Hill Associates Tel: 020 7457 2020 Michael Padley/Nicholas Nelson
