INTERSHOP to Integrate beenz Into E-Commerce Offerings; INTERSHOP & beenz.com Strike Global Alliance

working together to cross-sell and integrate our present and future products. Companies enabling their web sites with INTERSHOP's

technology will be available for free to all INTERSHOP customers."

for some time. beenz.com has established a strong brand, secure technology and a compelling proposition for every INTERSHOP
user. This alliance adds enormous value to the channel partners and customers of both beenz.com and INTERSHOP; we share the
same markets and sell to the same people. Above all, INTERSHOP's "Sell Anywhere" mission is strongly supported by the concept
of a the web's currency - fantastic synergy with our market-leading e-commerce software solutions."
Both companies plan to complement each other's e-commerce offerings. INTERSHOP, for example, believes that having

INTERSHOP's world-wide channel partners by recommending potential beenz solutions which help boost the number of
registrations.
