Press Release Summary: Businesses prefer to have solutions specifically targeted to
meet their unique data extraction needs

Press Release Body: Ficstar Software reports a rapid growth in demand for its
Custom-Designed Website Grabber. Many companies which had previously opted for some
of the company's solutions have now switched to the new customized solution. The
reason for the new trend, Ficstar experts explain, is that businesses have now grown
fully aware of the potential of website content grabbers and now seek something that
can fully meet their unique needs.

Statistics show that the manual collection of web content takes up between 30
minutes and 3 hours per employee per day. In order to reduce this time and have an
efficient and much more reliable alternative, businesses are very open to what the
software market has to offer.

Many of the data extraction solutions which are currently available on the market
collect content from different web sites without any changes to the software source
code. This 'one size fits all' approach can deliver incomplete and inaccurate
results that may force companies to go back to time-consuming and error-prone manual
procedures.

Ficstar customizes its Web Grabber solution for each customer by modifying the
software to fit the specific requirements for their target web sites, in order to
make sure that clients get the exact solution they need.

Since the software's core programming is already complete, the customization
processes can be completed within just a few days, and customers can begin to
generate accurate and reliable results almost immediately.

In terms of pricing, each Custom-Designed Web Grabber project is priced based on the
complexity of the data on the targeted site, and the extent of the software
customization required to extract that data. Costs are determined by how the target
web site is programmed, how many elements must be extracted for each page, how
difficult it is to place anchors on the pages to assist with the extraction, and
other factors.

Ficstar Software Inc. is a Toronto-based provider of web data extraction and data
mining solutions. The company was founded in 2003 and has already developed a broad
portfolio of offerings, including business intelligence, website content grabber
solutions, and data management, which enable customers to increase efficiency and
productivity while reducing expenses.
