PRESS RELEASE

Immediate Dynamic Charts With Peer Visual

State College, PA USA, 15 January 2002: VVI(R) today announced availability
of Peer Visual II for Mac OS X and a chart service so customers can
immediately place dynamic charts on their own web sites. John Brilhart,
Chief Technical Officer of VVI, makes this statement:

“Peer Visual makes any type of chart or visual in real time and offers it
over the Internet. To demonstrate that capability, VVI has setup a chart
service so any person in the world can immediately place dynamic charts of
their own data on their web sites. There is nothing to install, no computer
to maintain and no additional programming system to learn. The service is
tested at over two and a half million charts a day and, if needed, can be
configured for parallel processing to increase the visualization capacity.”

John adds: “We have had this service running for over a year now and have
integrated similar systems at customer sites. This is the first time VVI
has offered it to the public. Peer Visual is the accumulation of over three
years of software design and field validation. OpenGraph, the visualization
engine used by Peer Visual, is the result of over twelve years of product
development, testing and use at corporate sites. The result is a system
which is well thought out and robust enough to tackle any visualization
task. VVI is also developing add-ons at a very rapid rate so new features
will be an integral part of this product.”
