ServiceWare Extends Content Outsourcing Partnership with Microsoft


     OAKMONT, PA – November 28, 2000 – ServiceWare Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVCW), a leading provider of Web-based solutions for enterprise service and support,
today announced that it has renewed its partnership with Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) to develop content for the customer support Web sites managed by Microsoft Product
Support Services.  

The contract with Microsoft’s Product Support Services includes content development of online knowledge-base articles from the initial idea to the technical review and
management of the content delivery process for various Microsoft products including all Windows operating systems, Microsoft Office 97 and Microsoft Office 2000.  
ServiceWare’s consistent delivery of high quality content, and the continued investment by both companies in tools, process refinement and training, has resulted in a
successful partnership with Microsoft.

“ServiceWare’s partnership with Microsoft is built upon a long history of quality work and service,” said Mark Tapling, CEO of ServiceWare.  “The extension of our relationship
makes sense strategically because we can provide deep technical product knowledge while accurately addressing Microsoft’s specific needs and standards.  In turn, we
build on our own expertise of Microsoft’s products that we offer to customers through our knowledge solutions.”
