SEATTLE - January 18, 2002 – Caesius Software, Inc., a provider of Web harvesting software for business intelligence (BI) and competitive intelligence (CI), announced today the launch of nine turnkey application templates for use with its award winning Web harvesting product, WebQL. The turnkey applications allow users to search for, pinpoint and extract any desired information for automatic reformatting into a spreadsheet, database, or word processing template.

“Business professionals doing competitive and market intelligence can greatly benefit from these applications,” said Chris Buckingham, president of Caesius Software. “Instead of surfing the usual Web sites for desirable information and trying to copy and paste it into a presentable format, the turnkey applications make it as easy as typing in a search term and later opening a folder to view the results.”

The new application templates provide an easy to use, parameter driven GUI interface to WebQL's powerful Web extraction and information gathering capabilities.
