Folio VIEWS Adds Value to Basic Information

According to Curt Allen, Folio's executive vice president, "Companies that
provide information to French-speaking markets can now increase their
profits by publishing that information with French Folio VIEWS 3.01.
Companies around the world are already saving millions of dollars annually
by using Folio Infobase Technology to replace paper-based information.

"Rapid access to information is a critical need for most people, but that's
just the beginning," said Allen. "What happens after that -- when
information from a variety of sources is combined, when it is tailored to
a particular audience, and then shared with those who need it -- that's
when the value of the information increases. These three steps, access,
adaptation and collaboration. are the basic elements in the new paradigm
of information handling and all are supported in the new French version of
Folio VIEWS 3.01."

Folio VIEWS goes several steps beyond products that merely imitate paper on
screen or that specialize in transporting information between computers.
Folio VIEWS 3.01 provides several unprecedented features that make it
possible for everyone to gather, manipulate and share information
electronically.

* Conduct extremely fast. sophisticated searches in huge
  collections of unstructured information
* Navigate the internal structure of infobase files using
  tables of contents and fields
* Personalize information with hypertext links, bookmarks
  highlighters popup notes, etc.
* Update and edit on-the-fly with up to 125 people simultaneously
  entering changes
* Include embedded objects, graphics, multimedia, and text
  in an infobase file

The product also offers "shadow files " that overlay the master infobase
and allow users to make changes without altering the original document.
Shadow files can be used by individuals or shared in workgroups.

Empowering Front-Line Service Providers

Free-format information abounds in every organization. However, it has
little or no value unless it can be easily stored. accessed, searched and
retrieved. Organizations must also be able to customize information for
those who need it to make informed decisions and serve customers
effectively.

Folio VIEWS software is frequently used to create electronic books, reports
and manuals used for customer support, help desks, sales support,
litigation support and many other applications where fast access to large
collections of rapidly changing data is critical.

Whether it's insurance underwriting manuals, tax law, software
documentation, legal statutes, government regulations, corporate policies
and procedures, customer service reference manuals, or schedules and
prices -- infobases give front-line service providers the instant answers
customers expect.

Bottom Line Results for Folio Customers

Infobase technology has secured a place with organizations that rely on
accessible and adaptable information to serve customers -- and save money.
For example, Aetna Life & Casualty no longer prints most of its
underwriting manuals on paper. Instead. it publishes the manuals
electronically as Folio infobases. Aetna updates the information quickly
over its network ensuring that underwriters all have the same, accurate,
up-to-date information. The new process also saves Aetna millions of
dollars annually by eliminating the cost of paper, printing and postage
for the printed manuals.

A partial list of organizations that use Folio software includes the
following: BNP Banque Nasional de Paris), CCH Canadien. United Nations
High Commission for Refugees, Dutch PTT, Haufmann LaRoche. British Gas,
Croner Publications Unisys - Norway, Ernst & Young, Deloitte & Touche.
American Bar Association, Nike, Banyan Systems, Inc. Powersoft Corp.,
Novell, Inc. and WordPerfect Corp. In addition, Folio VIEWS has been used
by more than 200 publishers to create over 1,000 commercially published
titles available on CD ROM or diskette.

Folio VIEWS Makes It Easy to Share Information Electronically
"Most information today is created on computers then printed and managed on
paper. One major reason for this has been the absence of easy-to-use tools
for using or consuming information electronically," said Allen. "We can't
expect everyone to understand the 'traditional' authoring process, nor
have the time to learn sophisticated markup languages. It has to be easy
for people to create, manipulate and share electronic documents or they
will continue to use paper as their primary medium for consuming and
sharing information."

include the following:

* Instant retrieval of any word or phrase
  (every word is searchable)
