For Immediate Release
New Partnership With Corel Enables 15,000 Oklahoma Bar Members to
Purchase WordPerfect Office 12 at Reduced Prices

May 23, 2005 – The Oklahoma Bar Association has signed on to Corel Corporation’s new Bar Association licensing program, allowing Oklahoma Bar Association members to purchase licenses of the award-winning WordPerfect® Office 12 at substantially reduced prices.

As part of Corel’s ongoing effort to equip the legal community with powerful office productivity tools specialized for small law firms and solo law practitioners, this agreement provides WordPerfect Office 12 to eligible Oklahoma Bar Association law offices at the special price of $115 US – a savings of up to 71% less than the suggested retail price (SRP) of Microsoft® Office 2003 Standard Full Version. These significant price reductions, combined with Corel’s training and support options, enables the small law firms making up the majority of the Oklahoma Bar Association’s membership to adopt WordPerfect Office 12 at costs formerly available only to large law firms purchasing WordPerfect Office via volume licensing.

“In Oklahoma more than 55% of lawyers work in small law firms or as solo practitioners–yet these small firms are practically ignored by other office suite vendors,” said Richard Carriere, general manager for office productivity at Corel. “Corel’s new bar association program lets Oklahoma Bar Association members adopt an office productivity solution that’s built specifically for small law offices at very competitive prices.”

The Oklahoma Bar Association joins several other state bar associations that have recently signed onto Corel’s new licensing program, including the New York State Bar Association. The announcement also demonstrates continued momentum for WordPerfect in the legal market, following the US Department of Justice’s decision to license more than 50,000 seats of the office suite.

Ideal for law offices seeking best-of-breed productivity tools and the ability to interact with clients, colleagues and the courts in various file formats, WordPerfect Office 12 includes easy to use and feature-rich word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and address book applications. WordPerfect Office 12 offers market-leading compatibility with popular file formats, including PDF, Microsoft Office, HTML and XML, and allows customers to share files created in WordPerfect Office with users of other office productivity tools. Its advanced legal-specific feature set, including its unique-to-WordPerfect Legal Mode, provides one-click access to features such as the Pleading Wizard, Document Review and Compare, Watermarks and Publish-to-EDGAR.

WordPerfect Office 12 also provides each licensed user with Home and Laptop privileges, giving employees licensed to use WordPerfect Office 12 at work the ability to use the same copy nonconcurrently at home or on their laptop. Other options available include product maintenance, multilingual use and comprehensive support and training.

License fulfillment will be provided by premium Corel partner and legal technology specialist SHI. To license WordPerfect Office 12 through this special program, Oklahoma Bar Association members may call SHI toll-free at 1-888-394-5181 or go to http://tinyurl.com/8zg95.
