Microportals for the Masses: Alfa-XP Web Software Company, LLC is Bridging
the Gap Between Basic Web Hosting and High-End Enterprise Portal Solutions

STERLING, VA - July 21, 2003 /PRnetwire.com/ -- Microportals.NET(tm) is
the latest offering from the Alfa-XP Web Software Company, LLC
(www.alfa-xp.com), the maker of the WebAssembler.NET(tm) application
server suite. It is a "portal-on-demand" Web application hosting service
that offers everything needed to design and operate microportal solutions
in real-time, in a reliable secure environment totally controlled by the
user. No additional hardware or software is necessary. It is built
exclusively on the latest Microsoft .NET technologies and on open XML
standards.

This service is intended for users whose needs have out grown basic,
simplistic Web hosting but who cannot afford high-priced content
management or collaboration suites that typically cost over $100K for a
single installation. The combination of ease of use, a feature-rich
environment, and true affordability makes the Microportals.NET service
attractive for any small or medium business, for educational institutions,
independent professionals, and nonprofit organizations.

The solution is also ideal for project teams within a large corporation or
agency that need to collaborate securely with colleagues, customers and
contractors across departmental lines and over long distances.

Users can open an account and create their own microportal in a matter of
minutes. Templates and wizards are provided to guide users through the
process of customization. Administration tools are made for business users
and do not require any special technical skills, and allow for easy
intranet or extranet setup and user management, including defining access
rights for various user groups (roles), folders, pages and even individual
content objects within a particular Web page. A visual tutorial helps
users get started and comfortably master the tools.

Accounts include a gallery of high-quality, XML-compliant, reusable
WebSnippets that can be quickly customized. Additional galleries are
available for specific business solutions, such as workflow management,
Web syndication, group collaboration, data collection, transformation and
warehousing, analysis and reporting (data mining), business process
modeling, and e-commerce.

Pricing starts at $20 per month for a personal edition and ranges to
$25,000 per year for a 250-license enterprise edition. Information:
