Knight Ridder Selects Zope Corporation's Zope4Intranets

Deploys Managed Hosted, Company-Wide Intranet

FREDERICKSBURG, VA - (MARKET WIRE) - 02/24/2004 - Zope® Corporation, the leader in open source content management solutions and Knight Ridder, the second-largest newspaper publisher in the United States have implemented Zope4Intranets' premier Online Collaboration capabilities for the Company.

A high-quality Intranet is a necessity that enables organizations and groups to manage information, share files and documents, coordinate calendars and enable efficient collaboration. Finding the Intranet solution that addresses every unique requirement was difficult until now.

Zope Corporation is revolutionizing the collaboration software industry with its new approach to Intranet software implementation. Zope4Intranets™ (Z4I) provides visible source software to attendees of a four-day hands-on course conducted by Zope's expert engineers. The software license allows attendees to use Z4I within their organization on as many servers and CPUs as required. Z4I is a robust, enterprise-class Intranet based on the Zope application server, the Zope Content Management Framework (ZCMF) and supporting technologies.

Clients receive secure access to the source code repository, which allows them to download, install, contribute to and use the software as soon as a particular feature is developed and/or fixed without waiting for formal product releases.

Leveraging Zope4Intranets' pluggable user management, Zope Corporation integrated Z4I into Knight Ridder's Netegrity-based single sign-on environment.

The software is available for purchase or delivered as a hosted service with a Service Level Agreement provided by Zope Corporation. Knight Ridder has deployed the managed service solution.
