Internet Portals Increase Traffic and Retention With New Journyx Program

Journyx announces unique new program offering web-based workforce management services to Internet portal providers

AUSTIN, Texas, USA — June 20, 2000 — Journyx, the market share leader in web-based applications for managing a distributed workforce, today announced its new Journyx Portal Partners strategic alliances program expressly for Internet portal providers. The new partnership program enables vertical portal sites to offer unique new benefits to their members by providing a free online expense reporting, timesheet and project tracking service, powered by Journyx Timesheet technology.

Under the terms of the new partnership program, Journyx Portal Partners have the right to offer the sophisticated Journyx workforce management technologies under their own brand or private label. Journyx Timesheet allows users to enter detailed expenses and time for billing, project management and payroll over the Internet from any location in the world. Journyx Portal Partners may offer this online service free for up to 10 users per dedicated member workgroup. Journyx provides its portal partners with marketing and technical support plus an express roll-out package, with an average implementation time of less than two days.

Leading the Emerging Application Syndication Market
Internet portals are facing increasing competitive pressure to continually enrich their sites with new and compelling applications that will attract both new and regular repeat visitors. According to a recent study by Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, this is giving rise to a new market opportunity for "application syndication". In the application syndication model, private-label, or re-branded, applications are offered through portal sites as part of a new infrastructure that benefits the original application providers, the portals and the end users who visit them.

The Yankee Group recently stated its support for the findings of the Berkeley study, which not only identified application syndication as a distinct new market segment, but also projected that the application syndication market will grow as much as 500% over the next three years. This dramatic growth trend is expected to take the market from its estimated $2.8 billion today to $13.9 billion a year by 2003.

"Journyx provides validation for the application syndication model because we enable our portal partners to quickly offer, under their own brand, proven applications that meet a growing global need," observed Bill Leake, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Journyx. "Because expense reports and timesheets are a daily activity for many types of organizations, the addition of the Journyx web-based solution gives the customers of portal providers a compelling incentive to visit regularly."

Members of the new program already include industry-leading portals ALLPM, TheBizSTOP, CPA Online, ERP Central and LinuxStart. The initial participants have already observed a measurable increase in site traffic and overall site "stickiness" since introducing the Journyx service.
