OSLO, Norway and TORONTO, Ontario - 23 April 2003
Fast Search & Transfer™ (FAST™), the leading developer of enterprise search and real-time alert technologies, and

"Our new relationship with ACIS further expands FAST's global presence as a leading provider of enterprise
search solutions," commented John M. Lervik, FAST's chief executive officer. "We are pleased to have a respected
and experienced reseller such as ACIS Consulting representing FAST in Canada, and we look forward to a long
