CENTRINITY ANNOUNCES BETA TESTING FOR UNIX VERSION OF FIRSTCLASS  

Company plans to support Solaris, Linux and OS X, reinforcing commitment to customers to provide FirstClass on multiple platforms

Richmond Hill, ON, CANADA - August 28, 2001 - Centrinity Inc. (TSE: CTI), which develops and markets FirstClass Unified Communications and Collaborative Groupware technologies, today announced it is now in beta testing for its UNIX version of FirstClass. The company plans to support three strategic variants of UNIX including Sun SolarisTM, Linux and Apple Macintosh OS X®. Centrinity plans to begin shipping its first UNIX version of FirstClass by the end of 2001.

"Centrinity's FirstClass Communications Platform is an award-winning technology that has a rich cross-platform history," said John Myers, executive vice president, Strategic Relations, Centrinity Inc. "As a customer-centric organization, we are pleased to be reinforcing our commitment to customers through the delivery of Solaris, Linux and OS X variants of FirstClass. Our support of these three types of UNIX is driven by strong customer demand. In addition, we expect that these efforts will facilitate our expansion into new markets."
