MILPITAS, CA - NOVEMBER 1, 2000 - Euphorion, Inc. announced today the formal change of its name from DataMain to Euphorion. The name change is effective immediately, and represents the company's continuing evolution to a full service provider of durable web systems that enable its clients to become market leaders.

"The name 'DataMain' served us well during the first few years of operations, but we realized that enhancements to our business model and offerings justified a new brand position" said Jeff Hunter, CEO of Euphorion. "Over the last three years, we have continually expanded the scope of our operations, and we are now a proven world-class provider of durable web-solutions".

In the last three years, working with clients such as Heidrick and Struggles, Synopsys and Wine.Com, Euphorion has developed an extensive portfolio of market offerings including web-technology consulting, benchmarking, systems development, integration & deployment, and solution support. Recently, this portfolio has been expanded even further, through participation in the Catenas Network, an integrated global network of market leaders dedicated in their individual fields of expertise. Together with Catenas partners, Euphorion now provides comprehensive support for organizations capitalizing on opportunities within the new economy. Catenas services range from strategy development through branding to solution deployment.

"I am excited about the future for Euphorion" said Mitch Wyle, VP of Engineering and Chief Scientist for Euphorion. "With a portfolio of world-class clients such as Patagonia, WeddingChannel and the Planet Project, we have shown that we can effectively use an adaptable web platform to very rapidly implement highly complex web solutions that are capable of continual growth and innovation."
