FANNIE MAE CHOOSES REPORTMILL

REPORTMILL IS TOOL OF CHOICE FOR WEBOBJECTS DEVELOPMENT AT FANNIE MAE

San Francisco, CA. March 9, 1998 - ReportMill Software, Inc., today, announced that the company will handle all of Fannie Mae's OpenStep and WebObjects reporting needs through the year 2000. This represents a continuing trend of success for ReportMill Software, Inc. in delivering enterprise reporting solutions to companies in the financial services sector. Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) is the nation's largest source of home mortgage funds.

ReportMill offers the ease of use to quickly design reports, the flexibility to leverage custom business objects built in-house, the ability to deliver over the web and on the desktop, and the power and portability to run on enterprise servers.

"Fannie Mae has a large investment in custom business objects and ReportMill allows us to run reports directly against those objects. We don't have to duplicate business logic for reporting. It's object to object reporting." says Tim Paris, Director of Object Technology at Fannie Mae. "We also find that an effective way to leverage the power of our applications is to expose information in as many user-friendly ways as possible. ReportMill can quickly expose more genuinely useful information than traditional web or desktop programming".

Jeff Martin, CEO of ReportMill Software, says, "We see ReportMill as the first Object Reporting System - our customers are not limited to reporting on database tables and are not forced to learn a proprietary macro language. ReportMill's seamless integration with such database access and web delivery systems as Apple's Enterprise Objects Framework and WebObjects development tools allow our customers to add publishing quality reports to their applications in a matter of hours."

ReportMill was founded by two former Next/Apple software engineers. Their combined total of over 15 years experience with user interface design, object development and publishing quality graphics on the platform that gave birth to the web has been a driving force of innovation and quality for the company.
