World Trade University Picks Datawitness For Electronic Message Security
Jul 11th 2007

Richmond, British Columbia – July 11, 2007 - Datawitness Online Ltd. announced today that the World Trade University Global Headquarters (WTU) has signed a renewable, one-year agreement to use Datawitness Registered Email for the delivery of its critical electronic messages. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Datawitness Registered Email enables the WTU to send secure communications to single or multiple recipients via an Internet-based platform. WTU staff can verify receipt, receive responses and track whether recipients are opening and viewing communications. Response retrieval and viewing is free and accessible from any computer or device with Internet and World Wide Web access. WTU can also review, manage, and follow up on incoming responses through Datawitness’s proprietary, state-of-the-art software.

Datawitness Registered Email captures the content, context, and intent of communications between parties into a secure and archived record. The record’s time and date stamp establishes an audit trail for serial communications like negotiations or contract discussions. “The WTU has multiple international initiatives and engages numerous international entities, such as agencies of the United Nations. Datawitness Registered Email is the solution we were seeking for sending our high-impact documents to overseas parties and getting peace of mind that the recipients have received them. It is particularly timely as we are preparing for the 2nd World Tourism Summit to be held in Beijing China this October 2007,” said Sujit Chowdhury, World Trade University President.

“The WTU contract represents a paradigm for the marketing of Datawitness software,” said Jag Gillan, Datawitness CEO. “There is huge, global demand for secure communications in a variety of applications from both emerging and mature markets. An increasing number of international organizations, such as the WTU, understand the limitations of regular email to deliver and track important communiqués securely. Datawitness trumps these concerns while maintaining cost-effectiveness and security for the client.”

Datawitness is seeking to arrange a private placement investment of up to $3 million, with HarbourCastle Capital is acting as lead agent.
