BURLINGAME — October 8, 2002 — AtHoc, Inc, a leading provider of enterprise-class communications and alerting software today announced that Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR), a leading provider of trusted infrastructures for the New Public Network, successfully deployed AtHoc™ Active Portal. Juniper Networks is using AtHoc Active Portal to increase employee usage of e-business applications and web-based services and to provide a standard communications platform across the company.

AtHoc’s software increases usage of the Juniper Networks Intranet by making valuable online services and content always available via a dynamic portal toolbar that plugs into the end-user’s browser and by alerting employees of key corporate and group communications. AtHoc’s software enables employees to receive important alerts and have immediate access to online services through the toolbar even after employees leave the Juniper Networks Intranet for other applications or Web sites.

“In the first month of use, we are clearly seeing early adoption and usage,” said Kim Perdikou, CIO Juniper Networks. “The Juniper Networks Toolbar is providing employees with short cut access to their most frequently used Intranet resources, thus contributing to greater usage of the Intranet. The feedback shows our employees appreciate and value the toolbar. In addition, AtHoc’s administration and reporting tools make it easy to track activity and respond to growth in the Intranet usage.?

“We are delighted by the employee response to the Juniper Networks Toolbar,” said Guy Miasnik, CEO of AtHoc. “By extending the reach of the Juniper Networks Intranet and providing personalized communication channels, AtHoc’s software is encouraging greater employee usage of the Intranet and thereby adding to the Intranet’s success.”

The AtHoc Active Portal for Juniper Networks is comprised of a dynamic Portal Toolbar, Enterprise Alerts System, and Management System.
