                 Netcentric Systems Expands European Presence

                     and Appoints European Sales Director

Web content and information management providers, Netcentric Systems plc
('Netcentric'), announced today that it has expanded its presence into Europe,
moving into several new markets including France, Germany, The Netherlands,
Spain and Sweden, complementing its existing operations in the UK.

To spearhead the drive into Europe and to develop a European reseller
infrastructure, Netcentric has appointed Phillip Campbell as European Sales
Director. He will be appointed to the Board of the Group's wholly owned
subsidiary, Netcentric Systems (Europe) Ltd. Campbell's career in the IT
sector began at Rank Xerox and includes senior roles at Wang Computers (USA),
Nemyses (UK) and Gauss Interprise AG (Germany). In 1991, Campbell took up a
position at a start-up venture, Nemyses Partnership. Here he developed a sales
and marketing programme for a newly developed suite of CD-ROM based training
system. Nemyses achieved £11m turnover and grew its workforce to 120 staff
with 143 international resellers. Campbell's position prior to joining
Netcentric was with Gauss Interprise AG, believed to have developed the
world's first web content management system, where Campbell led the company
into Europe and in one year established 8 European offices.

With a growing geographical presence, Netcentric will be better positioned to
assist pan-European companies to take control of their web publishing and
information management strategies.

Jane Garrett, CEO of Netcentric commented:-

'The web content and information management market is set to grow at an
enormous rate: Meta Group believes the market to increase 500 per cent by 2002
and similarly, Gartner Group believes the market will grow worldwide from
US$400m in 2000 to US$2.5bn in 2002. Netcentric witnessed such demand directly
when we recently exhibited at CeBIT in Hannover, Europe's largest technology
show. As a result, we are talking to a large number of prospective partners
and customers who demand the power, functionality and quick implementation
capabilities that our Lychee software provides. We are seeing tremendous
momentum in Europe and with Phillip on board, with his wealth of experience,
we will continue to grow our European operations to service this exploding
market.

About Netcentric Systems plc

Netcentric is a supplier of innovative web content and information management
solutions for intranets and websites for the Times Top 3000 companies.
Solutions are based around the flagship product, Lychee, and enable people who
do not need to understand the languages of the web, such as Hyper Text Mark-up
Language (HTML), to deliver content directly onto a company intranet or
website.  This takes the ownership of the site away from the IT department or
web-master and puts it in the hands of the business user.

of the London Stock Exchange ('AIM') and is at the forefront of Internet and
Java development. Founded in Cambridge in 1997, Netcentric was originally a
consultancy company. Early revenue was generated from Internet-based projects,
building awareness of the problems that corporations encountered trying to

intranet content.
