hesketh.com and TogetherSoft Launch Global Web Presence; Redesigned Site Positions Fast 50 Company as Global Player

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Raleigh, NC - 5 October 2001 — Web services firm hesketh.com and TogetherSoft Corporation unveil the global software and services company's new presence on the Internet at www.togethersoft.com.

With international headquarters at Raleigh's Centennial Campus, TogetherSoft innovates solutions that enable enterprises to develop better assets faster by providing proven and predictable ways to manage change, mitigate risk, and deliver results. TogetherSoft's Web presence now includes pre-sales product and services support, access to the latest downloads and documentation, details about industry news and events, sitelets for the company's 10 global offices, and information about the company's background and vision for the future.

TogetherSoft made news earlier this year when it secured $20 million in financing from TA Associates. It was shortly after landing that funding that TogetherSoft contracted hesketh.com to replace the existing TogetherSoft site. Launched initially to support software developers, the original site needed to be refocused, restructured, and redesigned. While rocketing TogetherSoft into the big leagues was important, it was just as important to value the company's roots, its culture, and its loyalty to the developers who are largely responsible for TogetherSoft's success.

To redesign the TogetherSoft site, hesketh.com developed a strategic vision for the site and translated that into a new information architecture, a compelling look-and-feel, and solid programming. Michael Tucker, hesketh.com Chief Relationship Officer, says, "TogetherSoft's principle concerns coming into this relationship were centered on developing a world-class Web site. With their recent successes and the explosive growth of the company, they were keenly aware that the previous home-grown site needed to evolve into a category leader within the universe of international software players. Given that strategically vital mission, the challenge for hesketh.com was to prioritize the separate and fast-moving objectives and solidify them into a cohesive unit that would really communicate key messages and deliver the TogetherSoft brand."

And the reviews from the folks at TogetherSoft keep coming in. "The site looks excellent and is a grand improvement. Sincere thanks to you and your colleagues for a job well done," says Tim Hess, Vice President of Research and Development. "Thank you for your effort; you've been a terrific partner," says Melanie Stecker, Project Manager.
