SOMERSET, N.J., April 3, 2002

Netilla Networks, Inc., (www.netilla.com), the networking services company that delivers secure remote access to applications, files and data over the Internet, today announced its newest Netilla Certified Solutions Provider: DCi Innovative Service Solutions, a provider of professional information technology and customized network support services with a specialty in the healthcare industry.

The unique security needs of the healthcare industry make secure remote access a critical component of any technology decision. By leveraging the inherent strengths of the Netilla Security Platform with DCi's prowess as a specialist in implementing solutions specifically for the healthcare market, hospital networks and insurance companies' needs can be addressed quickly and cost effectively.

"The Netilla Security Platform provides a great Web-portal, extranet solution for the healthcare industry, where DCi has a proven record of expertise," said Reggie Best, Netilla Networks CEO and President. "With its client-less deployment, simplified management and built-in security, the Netilla Security Platform delivers improved physician and patient services while meeting the security mandates required by HIPAA and managing costs at the same time."

Netilla products are available exclusively through its value-added reseller channel of Certified Solutions Providers. With more than 25 years of business experience and a decade of service as a healthcare IT specialist, DCi is a 150-person firm whose clients include some of the largest healthcare networks in New Jersey. DCi is a leading integrator of LAN and WAN support and co-sourcing arrangements. Co-sourcing allows DCi professionals to work directly alongside hospital managers to administer overall resources in the most cost-effective and strategic way. The company's goal is to bring leading-edge solutions and emerging technologies that integrate diverse applications and meet infrastructure needs.

"Our clients are attracted to Netilla's low maintenance expenses compared to other server-based solutions," said John Crescenzo, DCi's Vice President, Client Services. "The fact that the Netilla solution is deployed without any client software to install or update at the remote site is a tremendous advantage for our customers, and is particularly well suited for our healthcare partners."

With off-site physicians' offices and other service providers funneling patient records and other information into a central repository, the need for secure remote access into a centralized database of information and software applications is critical, said Gary Eckert, DCi's Chief Administration Officer.

"Companies are looking to implement more work-at-home and multi-office strategies that guarantee business continuity," Eckert said. "The Netilla solution is ideal for ensuring remote access to business-critical data and applications across geographically dispersed locations."
