Extractable to Help ABM Industries Develop Corporate Web Site Strategy

San Francisco, July 1, 2003 - Extractable today announced the kickoff of a comprehensive engagement to develop a corporate web site strategy for ABM Industries. ABM (American Building Maintenance) Industries Incorporated is the largest facility services contractor listed on the New York Stock Exchange. With annual sales in excess of $2.1 billion and more than 62,000 employees, ABM provides air conditioning, engineering, janitorial, lighting, parking, security and related services to thousands of commercial, industrial and institutional customers in hundreds of cities across North America.

The ABM web site will become the primary online portal for finding information regarding the ABM corporation as well as the various divisions that service ABM customers. The goal of the strategy engagement is to conduct internal and external research to ensure that the site meets the functional and design requirements of ABM's corporate and divisional stakeholders, potential customers, investors, and employees.

The strategy engagement encompasses a comprehensive discovery phase designed to uncover the goals, audiences, and requirements of the web site redesign, then assimilate this information into a strategy for organizing the site, its content, marketing, and technical functionality. The Extractable team will conduct interviews with the executive staff of all of ABM's divisions, conduct competitive site audits to understand industry best practices, and develop a strategy for the architecture, marketing, content development, and technical functionality of the site.
