Delphi Consulting Attributes Fulcrum's Growth To Strong Enterprise Sales
       Of Core Intranet And Client/Server Information Retrieval Products

    OTTAWA, Canada, June 17 /PRNewswire/ - Fulcrum Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:
FULCF; TSE: FUL) today announced that Delphi Consulting Group research
confirms that Fulcrum(R) has taken over the overall leadership position in the
information retrieval software market.  In an announcement issued earlier
today, Delphi attributes Fulcrum's leadership to strong revenue growth in 1996
- over 40 - percent based on the company's sales into its core corporate
markets, and its strong international presence. Delphi's annual survey is the
most detailed quantitative analysis focused specifically on vendors in the
information retrieval space.
    ``These numbers confirm what our customers have already told us:  that we
solve real business problems,'' said Eric Goodwin, chairman and CEO of
Fulcrum.  ``Delphi's results underline that Fulcrum moved into a lead position
by the end of 1996, and grew at a rate twice the industry average. Our own
research tells us that if we could look specifically at Fulcrum's market share
in corporate accounts and from VARs and integrators delivering enterprise
solutions, our leadership would be even more dramatic.  With the Fulcrum
Knowledge Network(TM), introduced earlier this year, Fulcrum has a tremendous
opportunity to build on the momentum it has in the corporate marketplace as we
move more aggressively into the knowledge management arena, where advanced
information retrieval is a key component.''

of the text search and retrieval market, incorporating Delphi's research,
