Press Release Body = FEBRUARY 1, 2006 - SOUTHBOROUGH, MA - Accela Communications,
Inc. announced that IT publishing giant, International Data Group (IDG), has signed
an enterprise license agreement for use of the AccelaWorksTM web response management
system across all of its enterprise IT media. These IDG business units may use
AccelaWorks to capture visitor or participant data from a wide range of lead
generation tactics such as webcasts produced with AccelaCast or any other webcast
platform, white paper registrations, online tutorials, surveys and more. Accela
Communications contract with IDG highlights the publishing industry's growing
adoption of AccelaWorks as their online lead generation and management tool of
choice.

The AccelaWorks online registration system provides companies with the ability to
create and manage online registration forms from the point of data collection all
the way through to the distribution of clean records to one, or many points of
contact. AccelaWorks was developed to help publishers more easily manage the data
collection process so they can focus on building their businesses and offer
advertisers more online sponsorship opportunities, increasing lead generation
revenue, and serving readers and website visitors more effectively.

Additional AccelaWorks features beneficial to IDG and the publishing industry include:

· A common form building interface, which reduces training and application support
requirements
· Form builder templates that facilitate speedy publishing and ensure consistent
data collection for aggregated results and roll-up reporting
· The ability to easily support foreign language forms for global initiatives

"Today, publishers of all sizes, especially as large and diverse as IDG, have a
tremendous opportunity to serve their customers with effective lead generation
programs," said Bill Reinstein, President/CEO of Accela Communications. "In order to
achieve success however, they require a web response management system that is easy
to use, flexible and allows information to be accessed at the right time, in the
right format, and send it to the right person or place. With AccelaWorks they get
the power to do all this, combined with ease of set-up and low support requirements
-critical added benefits when they are under pressure to get programs or offerings
up-and-rolling quickly."
