MENLO PARK, CA – (November 30, 2007) – eXpresso™ Corporation, a pioneering provider of online community solutions for businesses, announced today that it has hired Reto Laemmler, CEO of Xcellery, a competing provider of hosted Excel collaboration services, as a Switzerland-based corporate consultant. As a result of the partnership, Xcellery will cease operation effective December 31, 2007, endorsing eXpresso as the best platform for its sizable list of customers.

“As a startup, Xcellery was committed to finding a better way for people to share and use Excel spreadsheets online. eXpresso has taken that idea to a new level of power and convenience, which is why we can wholeheartedly recommend that Xcellery users adopt eXpresso,” said Reto Laemmler, CEO of Xcellery. “Xcellery customers will find increased security, greater collaboration and audit capabilities, a chat feature and much more in eXpresso. We support eXpresso’s free and easy-to-use collaboration community not only for Excel spreadsheet use, but also for other Microsoft Office applications as they become available in the future.”

“Reto Laemmler is a visionary technologist who correctly identified the need for businesspeople to increase their efficiency by sharing Excel files via the Web. We look forward to his contributions to eXpresso as we initiate our EMEA rollout, and welcome Xcellery’s users as well to our service,” said George Langan, eXpresso’s chief executive officer. “Xcellery customers will find that migrating to eXpresso is seamless. Just open an account, move your spreadsheet files, and you’re ready to go.”

eXpresso allows a user’s spreadsheets to be available from any PC with an Internet Explorer Web browser. Users can authorize others to view or edit the same spreadsheets as needed, and even hold virtual meetings where invitees simultaneously work on spreadsheets together.
