Chantilly, VA November 5, 2002 -- GURU NETworks, Inc. (GURUnet), a leading developer of residential real estate solutions, announced today it has chosen Minerva Network Systems as its partner to deliver secure services over the Internet.

"To provide an ASP service to our residential real estate customers, we needed to have a safe, secure, scalable partner who could provide us with a Multi-homing, Broadband access directly to the Internet with 100% reliability. Minerva meets and exceeds those requirements, " said Ike Broaddus, CEO of GURUnet. "They have been our Co-location Facility for over a year and have provided excellent service. With the advent of our new g3Direct(TM) transaction management solution, our volume of business has caused us to reassess our service and add additional bandwidth to meet current and future needs. We have chosen to extend our partnership with Minerva indefinitely. "

g3Direct(TM) is provided as a tool for brokers and agents to allow all participants in the real estate transaction to see the status of the transaction from beginning to end. Each participant, including the services providers, agents and customers on both sides of the transaction are able to access a secure website 24/7 to see if the assigned tasks have been accomplished. Documents can be uploaded to the site for all appropriate people to see them. Because all steps in the process and all notes and messages are time stamped and saved, the journal log is an excellent record of the entire transaction.
