ECNext Drives Record Quarterly Online Revenue Growth for Its Customers
Research Firms and Business Publishers Leverage Expanding Market for High-Value Information Purchases
COLUMBUS, Ohio (May 21, 2003) — ECNext (www.ecnext.com), a leading provider of technology and services for selling and delivering commercial business information via the Web, announced today that its customers achieved a record 50 percent increase in online revenue for first quarter 2003 compared with fourth quarter 2002.

Following year-over-year revenue increases of 45 percent from 2000 to 2001 and 52 percent from 2001 to 2002, this latest record spotlights the success ECNext’s customers have achieved selling business information on the Web. It also demonstrates the accelerating power of integrating online channels with existing offline channels for business publishers and market research firms.

ECNext’s technology and expertise help its customers capture and build new Web transaction revenue, leverage the Web to bring new Web buyers to traditional channels, and extend and defend their market visibility and domain ownership.

"This continued increase in revenue growth for our customers is clear evidence of the profitable and growing trend of purchasing high-value business information online," said Chris Skudder, chief executive officer of ECNext. "It’s the result of three things: evolving buyer behavior, our customers’ increasing skills in online marketing, and the effectiveness of ECNext’s Web visibility and commerce solutions. These combined factors enable our customers to reach new buyers and open new relationships in a period when many in the industry are grappling with soft demand. It’s a great return on investment for the companies with whom we work."
