Aventiv USA Unveils NomaDesk(R) - The First Virtual File Network Designed for Nomadic Business Professionals

   Mobile Business Teams Can Now Securely Create Shared Team-Document
Workspaces, File-Blogs and Encrypted Personal Drives without Expensive
Servers or Technical Knowledge
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Aventiv USA has introduced version 2.1 of NomaDesk(R)
(www.nomadesk.com), an innovative document collaboration solution that
enables mobile business teams of two to 25 to intuitively manage,
edit, share and synchronize documents anywhere - even when offline.
Jeff Jochum, the company's chief marketing officer, made the
announcement.

   With NomaDesk, business teams can share a 'team-document
workspace' that provides enterprise-grade security and is both
password-protected and encrypted.

   Jochum said NomaDesk workspaces automatically and dynamically
synchronize and update when users are connected to the internet. A
simple email invite/respond system allows users to build and lead a
business team, effortlessly.

   "With NomaDesk, there's no need for expensive servers, complex
software, training or high-priced IT personnel," Jochum said. "The
workspaces are seamlessly integrated with Windows(R) Explorer, and
there are no limits on storage or bandwidth."

   Jochum added that NomaDesk is a B2B application based on the
newest Virtual File Network (VFN) technology specifications. "VFN is
the next logical step after VPN (Virtual Private Network) and has
enabled us to quickly develop a best-of-class file-sharing groupware
solution, without the hindrance of an intranet or hardware servers.
VFN enabled us to provide a seamless, single point of secure,
synchronized and shared file storage."

   Other new features include File Blog, Enabling NomaDesk workspace
owners to publish files and documents to an unlimited number of
subscribers. And, since each invitee has the right to freely invite
anyone they choose to share the File-Blog, the volume of participants
often grows virally, dramatically increasing the File-Blogger's
marketing reach. "This works just like normal blogging, except with
documents and files," Jochum said. "The result is a vast membership
who will always have the most up-to-date information, right on their
desktop, readable even while offline."

   Also added in this release is Email2Folder(TM), allowing team
documents or files to be incorporated into a NomaDesk workspace by
sending the file as an attachment from any email-enabled device,
including mobile phones, laptops and PCs. When an email with files
attached is received, the NomaDesk servers separate the message text
from any attachment and place both as files in a designated folder on
a workspace. "With Email2Folder you can easily open your NomaDesk
workspace so that even non-team members can add documents to a shared
folder without having any other access to it," Jochum said.

   Updated in this new version is FileLink(TM), useful when you want
to send large files without burdening the email server, or when
attached files are rejected because of firewall issues. With FileLink,
the recipient receives an email containing a link to a file and an
expiration date. The originator is notified when the file is
downloaded.

   NomaDesk 2.1 is currently in beta-test and is available at no cost
to new users during this testing period. Registration and dashboard
download is available at www.NomaDesk.com.

   Aventiv was founded in 2004 and provides best-of-class groupware
solutions for a wide variety of professional businesses worldwide. In
2007, it received EUR 3 Million in series A funding from GIMV. The
company's flagship product, NomaDesk, is an extension of the VFN
platform and delivers a team document workspace solution enabling
online/offline file access. North American headquarters are in
Huntington Beach, CA; with European headquarters and development
offices in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium.
