XPEDITE'S INTELLISEND WIZARD 2.0 IMPROVES DATA COLLECTION CAPABILITIES
New Tool for messageREACH Allows Companies to Create, Distribute and Collect E-Mail Forms

Tinton Falls, N.J. (October 9, 2001) - Xpedite, a global leader in multimedia messaging and a business unit of Ptek Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEK; www.ptek.com), today announced it has launched the intelliSEND^SM Wizard 2.0, a new tool that enables Xpedite's messageREACH^SM customers to create and distribute more effective e-mailings. The new version of the intelliSEND Wizard allows customers to create HTML forms that contain individualized, pre-populated fields, such as the recipient's name, address, identifying codes and other text that may need to be verified or updated by the recipient. The new 2.0 version of intelliSEND provides customers the ability to incorporate rich graphic content, attachments, and clickable links to Web pages or files, as well as supplying FTP and STMP service access methods.

"We developed this tool specifically for companies that rely on the collection of data for their business needs in industries such as publishing, market research and associations," said Matt McGill, Xpedite's Director of Sales for messageREACH. "We are pleased to see that companies in other sectors like banking, travel and retail are also are embracing it. The combination of speed, security and stability of our messageREACH platform, along with the capability to develop HTML forms, has produced tremendous results for our customers."

"The response rates for our large trade show events have increased 30 to 40 percent by incorporating customized forms in our e-marketing mailings," said Lindy Dreyer, Database Coordinator for PGI Exhibitions. "We receive timelier responses, and since the responses come directly from our customers in an electronic format, we've eliminated hours of data entry and proofreading."

Xpedite developed the intelliSEND Wizard with PWI Technologies, a leading provider of software development services. By teaming up with PWI, Xpedite offers its customers an end-to-end campaign management service, including database management and analysis, report management and scheduling.
