Big Sky Announces New Pricing for Remark! Unified Messaging

New Low Cost Small Business Packages Introduced

SAN DIEGO, CA, July 29, 2003 -- Big Sky Technologies today announced new pricing for the Remark! unified messaging product line. Featured in the new pricing are low priced, bundled solutions for smaller businesses and increased discounts for all unified messaging configurations. The new pricing is a result of feedback from customers and business partners and addresses a continuing trend toward lower cost software solutions.

Remark! Unified MessagingAssistant for IBM (NYSE: IBM) Lotus Notes and Domino now offers entry level bundles for smaller companies. Remark! UM - Small Business Edition is available in three configurations with a two port solution offered at only $1,995, a four port version at $3,495, and an eight port version at $6,595. All three bundles include telephony interface hardware, remote installation support, and twelve months of maintenance. Although any company can purchase any Remark! UM SBE bundle, each company is limited to the purchase of a single package. This new pricing brings UM features within the financial reach of even the smallest company and allows larger companies to purchase a low cost pilot system. Remark! UM Small Business Edition includes the full functionality of Remark! Unified MessagingAssistant.

In addition to introducing SBE bundles, Big Sky has increased Remark! Unified MessagingAssistant discounts across the entire product line. All Remark! unified messaging configurations have been reduced by 40% or more. Larger configurations have been reduced by as much as 75%. These price reductions afford our customers a higher Return on Investment (ROI) and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than competitive solutions. Customers will continue to enjoy low operating costs year after year through the ease of deployment and administration offered by Remark!

The new Remark! pricing is effective August 1, 2003 for purchases made directly from Big Sky or through Big Sky Resellers.

Remark! Unified MessagingAssistant remains the only unified messaging solution for Lotus Notes and Domino that has been designed from inception as a native Domino solution. While other vendors require an additional software layer called Domino Unified Communications Services (DUCS) to integrate with Domino, Remark! interfaces directly with Domino. By not requiring this software layer, Remark! eliminates the cost and the logistical problems of DUCS deployment.
