Everything You Need is One Click Away at uMonitor.com uMonitor Makes Managing Life Easier, More Productive

GERMANTOWN, TN (July 11, 2000)
- Online banking is convenient. So is buying stock over the Internet. However, visiting multiple Web sites daily to complete such transactions, or just to check the weather, takes a lot of time and can be confusing with all of the required user names and passwords. The solution? uMonitor.com.

"uMonitor.com allows you to easily and securely access and monitor, via the Internet, what is most important to you - your online personal information - and control where you want it, when you want it, all from one place," says Dinesh Sheth, founder, president and CEO of uMonitor, Inc. "Everything you need is one click away at uMonitor.com."

Created by uMonitor, Inc., the cutting-edge service, utilizing a third generation personalization platform, or "3G/P," avails users the tool to dramatically reduce time spent on the Internet by aggregating their online information at one convenient site and delivering highly personal information to their PCs and wireless devices.

uMonitor recently completed its first round of $3 million external funding, led by Delta Capital Management, a venture capital partnership in Memphis, Tennessee. This funding readied uMonitor.com to help manage and make more productive the lives of the millions who surf the Web daily. Many Internet users visit several websites regularly to track personal information and other favorite content. At each site, they enter user names and passwords repeatedly, click their mouse, tap their PDAs or press their Web phone buttons constantly to access their data.

After registering with uMonitor.com, users need only one user name and password to access their own personal portal - one page that displays the status of all of their selected categories of personal information gathered from their favorite Web sites. With a single click, users can then access more detailed information or process transactions from any of the accounts they have included on their uMonitor.com personal page.

"Our primary goal is to help people make their lives easier," says Sheth. "By providing progressive services that help you simplify and more easily manage your personal or business environment - whatever you define it to be - you are better able to make your life more productive."

Sheth, a wireless technology guru and Web productivity expert, founded uMonitor in February of 1999. Initially created as the online service uMonitor.com, Sheth's idea for the company resulted from his own frustration with unproductive attempts to simplify his Web surfing experiences. After investing significant amounts of time and resources developing the Internet service's cutting-edge 3G/P platform, Sheth and his team at uMonitor are ready to offer the new dot com service.

"Eliminating many of the steps they must take to check or act on data they have stored online, uMonitor.com users store all of their passwords and user names in one place, so they have all of their personal information with them all of the time, as well as fast access to their 'favorites' or 'bookmarks'," says Sheth. "With uMonitor.com, a powerful personal productivity tool, we are changing the paradigm of surfing the Net through a plethora of information, to one where you have a single data portal that makes the Net work for you."

Don Mundie, principal with Delta Capital Management, believes uMonitor's foray into the personal account information arena is quite timely.

"uMonitor.com's account aggregation service solves a growing problem that comes with an ever-expanding Internet-time to access and manage your personal information," says Mundie. "Productivity enhancement is key to new Web service concepts, and uMonitor.com scores a direct hit in meeting that need. We are very excited to find a company of uMonitor.com's caliber right here in the Memphis area."
