FREEHOLD, N.J., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ --
Piranha, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BYTE), an innovator in data compression
technology, has received orders for the Piranha Net(TM) compression software
solution from Imaging Consortium, a leading service provider for companies
re-purposing images for use on the internet, and DDB Worldwide, one of the
world's leading advertising agencies.
Piranha Net(TM) enables companies such as the Imaging Consortium and DDB
Worldwide to create smaller, higher-quality files that allow web pages to
download much faster than normal. In some cases, Piranha Net enables
end-users to download web pages at eight times the rate that is typical.
Both companies also have purchased Piranha Byte(TM), a compression
solution for the publishing, printing, medical and financial industries, from
Impact Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Piranha.
Imaging Consortium, a full service provider of digital pre-media, creative
concept execution and Internet-enabled advertising production solutions, is a
member of The LTC Group.

solutions. Dedicated to increasing clients' profitability and market share,

well as the world's leading advertising agencies. The LTC Group has more than

DDB Worldwide has the largest agency network in the U.S. and the third
largest in the world with billings of $15.4 billion in 1999. The company has
206 offices in 98 countries around the globe.
"The Imaging Consortium delivers media over the Internet for some of the
leading agencies in the world," said Robert Guida, Chief Engineer at Imaging
Consortium. "Current tools for producing the pages is fairly good but the
better quality and more efficient compression offered by Piranha Net reduces
our costs and improves the workflow and productivity for our clients."
"Consumers on the web have myriad choices of where to view content or shop
for goods and services. In many cases, it's the overall experience that will
win or keep customers," said Larry Greybill, president of Impact Solutions.

time shopping and less time waiting for pages to load."
