Greatland Selects MarketLive to Build Three New eCommerce Websites

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FOSTER CITY, CA, November 17 / MARKET WIRE/ --

MarketLive, Inc., the leading global
eCommerce software and service provider for retailers, announced today that
Greatland, a leading provider of W-2 and 1099 reporting solutions for small
businesses, has selected MarketLive as the platform for its three retail
websites scheduled to be re-launched in 2009.

Key factors that contributed to Greatland's decision were MarketLive's
Internet strategy expertise, multisite capabilities, and ongoing
enhancements to the company's extensible eCommerce technology platform.
MarketLive's approach of partnering with its customers to build and manage
successful eCommerce businesses was also an important consideration.

"We were looking for a long-term partner," said Kerry Mungons, Director of
Sales & Marketing, Greatland. "In addition to MarketLive's other
capabilities, we wanted a company that would continue to work side-by-side
with us even after the sites were developed and launched. MarketLive's
partnership approach and proven success with other companies 'tipped the
scale' in their favor."

MarketLive will leverage technology and services to build three uniquely
branded eCommerce sites tailored to meet the needs of specific audiences
for Greatland. MarketLive will use its Internet strategy expertise,
developed over 15 years in the eCommerce space, to build and continuously
improve Greatland's sites. The company's multisite capabilities will give
Greatland more flexibility to administer and manage the sites with fewer
in-house resources. And finally, MarketLive's eCommerce technology
platform, with its open and extensible architecture, will be leveraged to
deliver a tailored end-to-end solution that can be seamlessly upgraded with
every new MarketLive product release.

"By licensing MarketLive's technology and services, we can continuously
improve our sites as Internet selling evolves," said Mungons. "This is
important because it means we no longer have to use as many in-house
resources to keep our sites up-to-date. Our partnership with MarketLive
will do that for us by leveraging their Internet strategy expertise and
extensible technology platform."

"We are pleased to welcome Greatland to our growing family of leading
retailers," said Mark Pierce, Chief Executive Officer, MarketLive. "We
appreciate the opportunity to partner with this unique company as they
leverage their new sites to increase revenues and grow their brands. We
look forward to Greatland's success."
