Thunderhead Strengthens Lead in Interactive, Real-Time Communications

--Enterprise Communications Company Extends It Standards-Based
Solution with XForms-Enabled Document Interaction--
IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Thunderhead, the leading provider of enterprise communications
solutions, has announced the release of Interview NOW, a new addition
to its Thunderhead NOW communications platform.

The NOW platform, based on Thunderhead's
one-platform-for-all-communications paradigm, provides a complete
enterprise solution for the creation and delivery of real-time and
high-volume, multi-channel, personalized business communications.

With Interview NOW, data required for completion of customer
communications is collected using an interview-style process that
requests only the data relevant to the completion of the task.
Interview NOW is easily integrated into business processes, and the
NOW platform comes with out-of-the-box integration with leading BPM
products. Interview NOW meets the requirements for all types of
business documents including contracts, trade confirmations and term
sheets, offer letters, insurance claims and employee communications,
such as those from human resources.

Interview NOW joins existing modules Review NOW for
exception-based review case editing, and Correspond NOW for ad hoc
correspondence, to form a complete Web-based enterprise solution for
managing real-time, interactive documents. Thunderhead NOW will
strengthen Thunderhead's position as the leading solution provider for
the enterprise communications market.

In keeping with Thunderhead's XML heritage, Interview Now is based
on XForms, an XML-based standard for the specification of user
interfaces and processing of XML data. When specific data is required
for a document, the NOW platform dynamically creates the required
XForm, based on the target data and business logic contained in the
document template.

"We are excited about the addition of this unique functionality,
and another example of the innovation through which Thunderhead has
redefined the enterprise communications market," said Glen Manchester,
CEO of Thunderhead. "I am very pleased that we have been able to
deliver this functionality in a way that enables business users to
take control of designing the interview process with our intuitive
design environment."

Interview NOW was designed to augment third-party electronic forms
products. The solution can optionally hand the XForms it creates to
e-Forms products, such as Lotus Forms from Thunderhead partner IBM.

Thunderhead pioneered the use of open standards in the enterprise
communications market, and Interview NOW demonstrates the company's
commitment to open standards. Thunderhead built its NOW platform
around the XML stack and the use of key standards, including XSLT,
XSL-FO and XForms. This powerful solution has changed the focus of the
enterprise communications market from static print to dynamic,
multi-channel communications.
