Peritus Software Services' Web Site Receives Certification From Giga Information Group Signifying Compliance With Industry Standards

    WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Peritus Software Services, Inc.
(OTC: PTUS.OB), a provider of solutions for software maintenance technology
and services, today announced that the Company's web site (http://www.peritus.com)
has achieved Giga Information Group's "Giga Certified" status.  Giga
Certification signifies that the web site meets more than 40 basic standards
that are outlined by commerce authorities -- including the Federal Trade
Commission, Americans with Disabilities Act and the Standard for Internet
Commerce -- and published results from leading usability studies conducted by
Jakob Nielsen, Jared Spool and others.
    The Giga Certified seal, which will appear on Peritus Software Services'
web site, signifies to visitors that the site has the essential components and
tools to make their visit useful and productive.  The Giga Certification
program is designed to promote knowledge of and adherence to current web site
standards and does not signify endorsement of a company or its products.
    In order to achieve Giga Certified status, an organization's Web site must
undergo a thorough review by Giga analysts.  Giga's research has shown that
most web sites lack some of the basics and therefore do not provide full
compliance with public web site standards.  As a result, the online experience
for customers, vendors, investors, potential employees and others can be
frustrating.  For further information on Giga's web site certification
program, go to http://www.gigacertification.com.
    "Peritus has always sought to incorporate industry standards into its
methodologies and technologies.  We understand and support the value of
adhering to standards and are very pleased that Giga has introduced a set of
standards for web sites," stated John Giordano, President and CEO of Peritus
Software Services.
