San Ramon, CA -- April 2002

Resource and Protogent, Inc. have formed a strategic alliance, substantially expanding Resource's Web services in the areas of development, collaboration and media tools. Resource Communications has been granted the right to be an exclusive reseller of Protogent's flagship product, Dynamic Resource Locator® (DRL™) infrastructure protocol technology.

DRL is an original, revolutionary concept in data retrieval technology for business, e-commerce, as well as the private sector. It is a proprietary, universal protocol that provides direct and instant access to information; the first locator technology capable of executing any alphanumeric query on every browser and platform, applicable to any domain name. "DRL is a unique, hyper-URL methodology with incredible versatility and depth," said Dana Topping, Resource's CEO. "DRL protocol advances search technology in a way not seen since the early boom of the Internet. It easily has the ability to make keyword searches obsolete."

Simply stated, Protogent's patented Dynamic Resource Locator® takes the traditional, static URL (Uniform Resource Locator), and makes it dynamic. "DRL is fully compatible with any existing Internet infrastructure, browser or Internet appliance. Its applications are universal and incredibly powerful, allowing the customization of any database, which can be monitored and adjusted in real time, ensuring the highest level of content relevancy possible," Topping said.

The addition of DRL technology expands Resource's services into full-service Web development and e-commerce support.
