Ethics and Corporate Governance Pioneer Notices Immediate Process Improvements After Implementing Marqui

Portland, Ore. - May 15, 2006 - Marqui, Inc., the company revolutionizing how organizations handle marketing communications, today announced that EthicsPoint has joined the more than 200 organizations using Marqui's Web-based software suite for marketers. Marqui's software, which automates and simplifies everything from Web content management to e-mail campaigns, has already delivered measurable results for EthicsPoint, including significant reductions in the time it takes to manage activities such as online event registration, Web site updates and more.

EthicsPoint helps organizations around the world meet governance and compliance mandates, mitigate risk, and support the development of ethical cultures that drive organizational performance. More than five million stakeholders across the globe use EthicsPoint's integrated suite of services, which include ethics training, anonymous Web and hotline reporting, case management and program effectiveness analytics.

Since implementing Marqui in January 2006, EthicsPoint has enhanced efficiencies in coordinating and promoting activities such as Web seminars. John Hall, Executive Vice President at EthicsPoint explains, "We are committed to educating organizations on how to manage risks, foster a sustainable ethical culture and drive business success through Web seminars, our Web site and a variety of other activities. To meet our growing demand, we needed a way to streamline our online marketing efforts and events, and quickly update our Web site. With Marqui, we no longer have to rely on our technical team to do any of this, which means projects that used to take four or five days now only take a few minutes."

Capitalizing on the power of the software-as-a-service approach, Marqui has developed the first solution that simplifies and automates a broad range of marketing activities, including blogging, e-mail campaigns, Web content management, program measurement and more. By combining all of these capabilities into one Web-based suite, Marqui empowers customers to streamline marketing initiatives - and improve program effectiveness - without the issues and costs of multiple product purchases, integrations and training.

"Many organizations these days are targeting dynamic and evolving markets where messaging can change weekly and industry issues arise quickly. In this type of environment, businesses need to be able to act fast and deliver information to customers, investors and other important audiences whenever and however they want it - without having to wait on IT for assistance. This certainly holds true for EthicsPoint, since one of the company's goals is to be a pertinent, real-time resource in the ethics and compliance world. We are very proud that our software has been able to help them in this regard," said Stephen J. King, President and CEO at Marqui.
