Necho Systems and WalletWare Form Partnership to Add Key Palm Functionality to NavigatER, Necho's Leading Automated Travel & Entertainment (T&E) Expense Processing Solution

Necho Forges into Mobile and Wireless Arena; Utilizes WalletWare's ExpensePlus Technology to Fulfill Phase One of its Two-Phase Mobile and Wireless Strategy by Providing an Instant Interface from any Palm OS Mobile Device Directly to NavigatER

Irvine, CA, January 22 2001 -- Necho Systems, the world class specialist in Travel and Entertainment (T&E) expense processing solutions for the Internet, today announced it has formed a relationship with WalletWare of Irvine, California, developers of mobile and wireless solutions for Palm and Handspring devices.

According to the agreement, Necho will fulfill phase one of its two-phase mobile and wireless strategy by utilizing WalletWare's technology to immediately provide an interface from any Palm OS device to NavigatER -- Necho's market-leading T&E expense processing solution.

"NavigatER is a perfect candidate for PDA devices. The very nature of travelers using our product means that they require untethered access," said Scott Anderson, President, Necho Systems Corp. "Mobile computing represents a tremendous focus for Necho moving forward. The integration to a leading tool like ExpensePlus means that Necho is leveraging the market penetration and acceptance of PDA devices. This is a perfect example of how Necho responds to customer needs, and delivers on those needs."

Necho's complete two-phase mobile and wireless strategy builds upon the first phase, where generic support for handheld devices such as Palms, Handspring Visors, and mobile email pagers is provided. Phase Two includes a generic extension to cell phones and other wireless units.

Using WalletWare's ExpensePlus technology, NavigatER will automatically accept out-of-pocket expense information entered through ExpensePlus, automatically pre-populating travelers' expense reports with other expense information originating from charge cards or other sources. NavigatER's mobile support completely reduces the expense report submission process to 5 mouse clicks. The agreement also solidifies the development of leading edge wireless technology in the future, as WalletWare has already developed a point of sale infrared solution that automatically captures electronic virtual receipts at the point of sale or hotel checkout.

"We're very excited to partner with Necho and its revolutionary NavigatER solution," commented WalletWare's President and Founder, Gary Amstutz. "By integrating our solutions, we're able to create a more powerful solution that directly addresses the scores of Palm¨ and Visorª users who regularly travel and submit detailed expense reports."

NavigatER is the market-leading, automated T&E expense processing solution that allows corporations to reduce overall expenditures, streamline processing costs and provide greater service and convenience to employees. A very flexible solution, NavigatER is easy to integrate, deploy, implement and use. It can seamlessly integrate into any existing corporate infrastructure without requiring any software customization. Requiring only configuration in accordance with corporate policies, a corporate business or finance group can implement the solution without involving the IT group.

NavigatER can also be deployed in-house on corporate servers or via Application Service Provider (ASP) model. Because the actual software does not change with its method of deployment, ASP customers can reap all of the benefits of the licensed software through an outsourced solution, without sacrificing any functionality at all.

Completely Web-based, NavigatER is also extremely easy to use. Employees simply log-in to the system via their Web browsers from anywhere in the world, and create their expense reports in a familiar Windows-like environment where every aspect of the expense reporting process is automated. And, whether being used remotely or via office desktop set up, NavigatER easily handles different currencies, tax requirements and corporate credit card feeds.
