News Release

Draper, Utah – January 17, 2006– NextPage today announced that the company has been invited by Microsoft to demonstrate Document Retention today at the Microsoft Office 2007 launch – Ready for a New Day Launch Tour in Phoenix, AZ. The tour is comprised of seminars across the United States to introduce the new Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. During the “Connecting and Extending with Office Client Applications” session, NextPage will be the only Microsoft partner presenting, showcasing NextPage Document Retention, which is the only application that securely tracks versions of Microsoft Office documents across e-mail, hard drives, removable media and servers.

“This Microsoft venue is a great opportunity to demonstrate how well our unique enterprise application leverages the Microsoft Office systyem,” said Darren Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of NextPage. “NextPage Document Retention is a simple, elegant solution to help alleviate the risk of documents that are created, stored and shared in the chaotic, ad hoc environment of the desktop.”

NextPage also worked extensively within Ecma TC45, the international task force assigned to develop the Open XML standard and NextPage CTO Tom Ngo edited Ecma’s white paper on the topic. The Open XML initiative was instigated to provide an open standard for word-processing documents, presentations, and spreadsheets that can be freely implemented by multiple applications on multiple platforms. NextPage will leverage its experience working on the Open XML standard as it adds more functionality to NextPage Document Retention.
