Teknowledge
Sells TekPortal
®
Technology to Intuit Inc., and Retains Financial
Integration Services Business
PALO ALTO, Calif.-August 22, 2005-Teknowledge
Corporation (Nasdaq SmallCap: TEKCC), announced today that it concluded an asset
transaction to sell its TekPortal
®
technology, an asset from its Financial Solutions
business unit, to Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) for 7 million dollars. As part of the technology sale,
Intuit was granted a license to each of Teknowledge's six active patents, and
acquired Teknowledge's pending patent on OFX technology. Teknowledge will retain ownership of
all of its current patents.
Neil Jacobstein, Teknowledge President and CEO said: "This deal is a win for both companies. Intuit acquires technology that is
strategic to its business, and Teknowledge delivers on its objective to raise capital via the sale of an asset or product line. This
permits Teknowledge to focus on its core competencies of developing knowledge based software technology, and delivering integration
services for financial and government customers".
Jacobstein continued: "This sale demonstrates
that Teknowledge can produce high quality application specific software technology. A key feature of our
business model going forward will be to license our other innovative software technologies to companies with
substantial marketing resources and a large customer base. We see this as an exciting opportunity to
build on our strengths".
Teknowledge will continue to provide financial
software integration services for TekPortal software in its Financial Solutions
business unit. The TekPortal development team will transfer to Intuit Inc., but other members
of the Financial Solutions services and integration team, including its outside service contractors,
will be retained by Teknowledge. The Company will support its current TekPortal maintenance contracts
for a period of up to 2 years, with the expectation that many of these customers may choose to
transition over time to Intuit. Teknowledge will continue to deliver services and support for its
custom business banking software maintenance contracts.
Teknowledge also plans to grow its innovative government R&D contracts business, which could generate additional licensable
technology, particularly in software security, machine learning systems, and web-based application services. The asset sale will
permit Teknowledge to expand its patents and technology-licensing activities, which are based on technology developed in its
government and commercial services businesses.
