For Immediate Release

Adventia Changes Name of Chat Server Software
Brand Building and Identity Consolidation

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - October 8, 1998 - Adventia announced today a name change for its hottest product, formerly known as Conversa Chat Server. The new name, Adventia Chat Server, will help identify the product with its creator company and will initiate a new brand building strategic campaign.

The decision came after Adventia's executives realized that the chat product was not being clearly identified with the company itself. "We think the new name is going to consolidate our product-company identity and   reputation", explained Claudia Soria, an Adventia principal. "We are about to begin a process of aggressive brand building and it is critical for us to project a clear image of who we are and the products we create", she added. 

About Adventia Chat Server 2.0

Adventia Chat Server is an Active Server Pages (ASP) chat that allows you to easily add HTML-only chat rooms to a web site, making it look even more professional.

Conversa Chat Server runs on Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT. A web server that supports ASP is required (e.g. Microsoft's IIS 3.0, 4.0, etc.) To use the chat, visitors can use either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Since the program allows users to have text/HTML conversations without any plugins, ActiveX controls, nor Java applets, it can be used with older browsers as well, which makes the program suitable for even the least technologically advanced visitor.
