FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

   ACCELIO CORPORATION RECEIVES HIGHER PROPOSALS IN RESPONSE TO OPEN TEXT BID


Ottawa, ON, January 30, 2002 - Accelio Corporation, (NASDAQ: ACLO, TSE: LIO), a
leading global provider of Web-enabled business process solutions, today
announced that the Company has received several proposals to acquire all of the
issued and outstanding shares of Accelio. These proposals resulted from the
process to enhance shareholder value commenced by Accelio and its advisors in
response to the unsolicited bid made by Open Text Corporation on December 20,
2001.

Each proposal received by Accelio is at a price superior to the Open Text offer.

"We are pleased to have received a number of proposals with prices that are
higher than the Open Text bid," said Abe Ostrovsky, chairman of Accelio
Corporation.

Accelio and its financial advisors are currently engaged in negotiations with a
view to concluding a definitive agreement following completion of due diligence.
Additional steps remain to be successfully completed in order to produce a
definitive agreement. It may not be possible for this to be completed prior to
the expiry of the Open Text bid.

 "I have made our position very clear that the Open Text offer of CDN $2.75 is
totally inadequate and undervalues our company," said A. Kevin Francis,
president and chief executive officer of Accelio Corporation. "Over the past 18
months, we have re-staffed the executive team, doubled our sales and
distribution capacity, revamped the integrated solution suite, and lowered our
cost base while preserving our strong intellectual capital. With all of these
accomplishments, combined with our reported October 31, 2001 free cash and
receivables position of CDN $1.90 per share, it is certainly no surprise that we
have received superior proposals."

Shareholders who have already tendered Accelio common shares under the Open Text
offer are urged to WITHDRAW their tendered shares prior to February 4, 2002, the
current expiry date of the Open Text offer. The procedure to withdraw deposited
securities is outlined on page 20 of the Open Text Circular.

Accelio reminds shareholders that Open Text has made it a condition of its bid
that it must make a public announcement if more than 50 per cent of the common
shares (held by shareholders other than Open Text) have been tendered to the bid
on the expiry date.

ACCELIO RECEIVES ADDITONAL OFFERS IN RESPONSE TO OPEN TEXT BID/ 2


As stated in the Open Text offer to shareholders dated December 20, 2001, Open
Text does not intend to take up and pay for any shares deposited or tendered to
the offer at the close of business on February 4, 2002 (or such later date as
may be fixed by Open Text) unless the minimum conditions (which includes at
least 66 2/3 per cent of shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis) have been
satisfied at that time.

Accelio will continue to provide further information to shareholders as soon as
it is possible.
