Sunnyvale, Calif. – October 29, 1999 - ReportMill Software, Inc. today announced that Apple Computer, Inc. will resell ReportMill's powerful reporting tools with Apple's market leading WebObjects application server software. ReportMill's technology, which is only available with WebObjects, benefits customers by delivering essential enterprise content, such as business forms, financial statements, itineraries, invoices and catalogs, so that customers can deliver traditional enterprise content over the Web.

"WebObjects is a flexible and scalable solution to develop and deploy compelling Internet, intranet, extranet and e-commerce applications," said Jim Demetros, Director of Apple's Enterprise Software Division." As we continue extending WebObjects capabilities, we are pleased to provide ReportMill's printable enterprise content, brining our customers the world's only integrated application server reporting solution.

Object Reporting

In use at customer sites, including Merrill Lynch, Fannie Mae, Morgan Stanley and the Apple Online Company Store, ReportMill distinguishes itself by reporting on application server objects instead of a database, which makes applications more efficient, scalable and maintainable. This elegant approach has allowed ReportMill to focus and excel in other Apple hallmark areas, such as design and ease of use.

PDF Reporting

ReportMill further distinguishes itself by delivering content in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF), eliminating the need for WebObjects' end-users to purchase, download, install and configure proprietary web browser plug-ins.

"Apple defined the era of desktop publishing with the Macintosh and the page layout application, so it is fitting that Apple is now the leader in a new era of Web publishing, with WebObjects and ReportMill," said Jeff Martin CEO of ReportMill Software, Inc. "This is especially relevant as the Internet transitions to the mainstream where consumer-oriented users demand traditional, well-formatted, professional-styled content from their online business transactions."

ReportMill Software, a leader in object reporting, provides business intelligence solutions for companies that are building Internet and intranet applications. ReportMill's products and services provide businesses with well-formatted, printable, dynamic content. For additional information visit www.reportmill.com.
