Press Release Summary = Ms Zoe England, CEO of Mindsystems Pty Ltd presented
KnowledgeLink Pro and its online collaboration system to an enthusiastic group of
prominent lawyers in Sydney on 18th of February.
Dennis Kennedy\'s Legal Technology Predictions for 2006 said:
\"The emphasis at many law firms is still on what\'s best for the IT department or
staff rather than what\'s best for the practicing lawyer. Technology-savvy lawyers
will demand the tools they need, purchase the tools themselves, or leave. If your
firm plans to stand pat with technology in 2006, you will still want to consider
carefully what productivity tools you can give to lawyers to help them in their
daily practices.\"

Press Release Body = Ms Zoe England, CEO of Mindsystems Pty Ltd presented
KnowledgeLink Pro and its online collaboration system to an enthusiastic group of
prominent lawyers in Sydney on 18th of February

This innovative conference hosted by The Sinch Group of companies who are headed by
lawyer Simon Lewis, one of Australia\'s pioneers of the use of technology in the
legal world. The whole purpose of the event is well illustrated in Dennis Kennedy\'s
Legal Technology Predictions for 2006: Small Steps for Most Firms, Giant Leaps for a
Few Firms. He said:

\"The emphasis at many law firms is still on what\'s best for the IT department or
staff rather than what\'s best for the practicing lawyer. Technology-savvy lawyers
will demand the tools they need, purchase the tools themselves, or leave. If your
firm plans to stand pat with technology in 2006, you will still want to consider
carefully what productivity tools you can give to lawyers to help them in their
daily practices.\"

Kennedy goes on to point out:

Mobility and Collaboration. The biggest trend in 2006 will be an increased emphasis
on mobility and collaboration. If we get hit with a bird flu pandemic or other
disaster, this trend will be magnified. We are increasingly working with groups of
people who are separated from us geographically. From webinar tools to social
networking tools to online workspace tools, we can now do this in effective ways.
It\'s also becoming the way that our clients work. Lawyers will find themselves
moving or being moved in this direction in 2006.

Kennedy recommends we watch for:

1. Lawyers working in many places other than their desks as wireless Internet access
becomes increasingly ubiquitous. The real world needs of lawyers will run into the
recent move of IT departments to push lawyers onto desktop computers. In 2006, we\'ll
start to see who gets to make these decisions in law firms.

2. Wikis and other simple collaborative workspace tools getting a lot of attention
in the coming year. If \"blog\" was the word in 2005, \"wiki\" is already a candidate
for the new word you will hear most often in 2006.

Ms England said in her presentation:

"The Collaborative Communicator is an affordable, yet sophisticated answer to
collaboration, document handling and creative collaboration. It will revolutionize
the way individuals and companies handle complex issues. It is the missing link in
information convergence"

"The key to the Collaborator is a unique piece of software: KnowledgeLinkT Pro. Used
in its simplest format it is an outstanding \'outliner\' which can synchronise its
data with other software such as Mindjet\'s market leading \'MindManager\'.

Add the \'Collaboration Client\' and KnowledgeLinkT Pro connects you with your team
and your information in a unique manner."

With the KLP server (Public or private company server) you are instantly connected
with not only your own data but the input of anyone to whom you give access.

Several people can collaboratively edit the same document, working on their own
paragraphs, brainstorms or graphics.

This can be done as an individual or as part of a real time collaboration . in fact
an it has been described as a (online) \'meeting on steroids\'. Some of the many uses
of KLP Collaborator include:

· Undertaking legal research
· Preparing complex cases online, in a fully interactive manner
· Handling Complex Bid procedures
· Undertaking project requirements gathering
· Developing corporate and government policy documents
· Running opinion surveys
· Running interactive meetings and brainstorming sessions
· Just keeping in touch with your own database!
· Keeping your office fully informed.

Over the next six months further exciting developments are planned. These include:

· Full project management including Gantt charting, resources control, cost control
. all fully synchronized
· An online task control and ticketing system
· A company messaging board

Telecommunications companies, the finance industry, government and legal firms are
already showing detailed interest in the Collaborative Communicator.

As a prominent lawyer in one such said upon seeing the demonstration:

\'This is the missing convergence link that lawyers have been searching for\'
