ECNext marketing technology and services have been selected by Wright Investors' Service to sell the firm's Wright Reports on the Web. The reports offer research and analysis of more than 31,000 leading companies in over 55 countries around the world.

COLUMBUS, Ohio June 28, 2005 ECNext (www.ecnext.com) announced today the launch of an e-commerce site for Wright Investors Service, (www.wisi.com) a Connecticut-based global investment management firm. The new site, www.WrightReports.ecnext.com is the source for Wrights research and analysis of more than 31,000 companies in over 55 countries. ECNext is a leading provider of technology and services for marketing, selling and delivering business content via the Web.

Wright has researched and analyzed company information since the firms inception in 1960. Their proprietary analytical tools, developed over several decades, are utilized to create a suite of proprietary reports (Wright Reports), including a comprehensive Wright Quality Rating assigned to each company when sufficient information is available. Wright Reports also include extensive explanatory footnotes to help investors interpret company results.

There are four distinct report formats contained in Wright Reports: a Company Profile, an Earnings and Dividends History, a Sales History and a Price History. ECNexts search marketing technology and search engine optimization capabilities will make this information more accessible to the growing number of businesses and private individuals who are turning to familiar search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN to find the information they need.

We are excited and have great expectations for our relationship with ECNext, said Peter Donovan, CEO of Wright Investors Service. With this collaboration ECNext will be helping us market our proprietary company reports to a wider and more diverse marketplace. Those reports will now be available at competitive prices to individual investors and researchers.

Our technology makes sure that Wrights content is seen and available for purchase at the most critical point in the buy cycle: when a search is happening.

Users will have several purchase options. They can buy a single report or purchase all four reports on an individual company. They can also choose a premium access option for higher volume needs where users purchase a monthly subscription to access up to 500 reports.
