ADVISEN TO PARTNER WITH LANTE TO DEVELOP INITIAL CONCEPTS FOR NEW COMMERCIAL INSURANCE INFORMATION RESOURCE

Online Resource to Provide Insurance Professionals with Real-Time Access to Market Intelligence

NEW YORK, November 13, 2000 – Advisen Ltd., a developer of information resources for the commercial insurance industry, today announced it will partner with Lante Corporation, a leading eMarket builder, to develop the initial prototypes for a new online information resource for insurance professionals.

“Lante represents the leading edge of technology developers and we look forward to working together to architect a new information platform that will give insurance professionals greater access to relevant data and new tools to analyze and leverage that data,” said Thomas P. Ruggieri, CEO of Advisen.

Advisen plans to launch its new online resource in early 2001.

Advisen will be the only company at the conference to provide an online system that gives insurance and benefit professionals a way to benchmark their internal data against external standards, run complex analytics with a few clicks, and access state-of-the-art knowledge management and search capabilities.

Advisen Ltd. was founded in 1999 to deliver a new online information resource for insurance executives. In addition to aggregating primary information sources for a single online view of the market, the company also intends to develop several analytic tools to give insurance professionals the first real-time access to market trends and other data.
