ACTIONPOINT AND CAPTIVA TO MERGE

Creates The Largest Information Capture Software
Provider, The First Complete Information Capture Solution.

SAN JOSE & SAN DIEGO, CA, Monday, March 4, 2002 -
ActionPoint, Inc (NASDAQ: ACTP) and Captiva Software Corporation, a privately-
held company, jointly announced today they have signed a definitive agreement
providing for the merger of ActionPoint, the leading provider of document
capture solutions, and Captiva, the leading provider of Forms Processing
solutions, creating the largest Information Capture software provider.

Highlights:

- Combines two industry leaders to provide the
first complete Information Capture software solution, driving market
growth.
- Creates the largest Information Capture Software
provider, with 2001 revenues of approximately $45M and 300 employees
worldwide.
- Delivers operational efficiencies and expands market
reach.



Complete Solutions Drive Market Growth

Whether it arrives electronically, on paper, or via
fax, organizations get two different kinds of information from their customers,
suppliers, and partners. They receive unstructured documents, such as
correspondence and reports and they receive structured forms like
applications and claims. Both kinds of information are vital to running a
business, but each kind requires different technologies and approaches to
capture and process. Currently, organizations need to go to two - or more -
vendors to address their end-to-end information capture requirements. Combining
ActionPoint, the leader in the document capture space, with Captiva, the forms
processing leader, means organizations can now turn to a single provider to meet
their entire range of information capture needs.

"As more business processes are automated, the need for
comprehensive data and document capture capabilities will grow, particularly to
help unite front office and back-office applications - as well as their users -
with information that exists in a variety of media and formats," said David
Yockelson, Senior Vice President and Director at the META Group. "Both software
ISVs and end user organizations must be able to address information capture
holistically, and they will applaud the ability to obtain these facilities from
one source, thus improving their resource management and total cost of
ownership."



Creates Largest Information Capture Software
Provider

In a report titled "Document Capture for eBusiness
2001-3", Strategy Partners (www.strategy-partners.com) reported the combined
size of the document capture and forms processing markets to be $1.02 billion
for 2000. They went on to forecast 19.8% CAGR with end-user sales reaching $2.14
billion by the end of 2003. The merged company will be the largest software
vendor in the market, with 2001 revenues of approximately $45 million,
approximately 300 employees worldwide, and over 400 Global 2000 Customers and
Governmental Agencies, including Bank of America, Citigroup, Empire Blue Cross,
Fidelity Investments, The Home Depot, and Lands End.

"Customers want to buy from market leaders," continued David
Yockelson "The Information Capture market has needed a supplier with the size
and critical mass to lead the market, and this merger has the potential for
doing that."

ActionPoint and Captiva have been technology partners since
1998 and benefit from an outstanding record of working together to deliver
solutions to their joint customers. For example, Diversified Information
Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of outsourced claims processing solutions
for the insurance industry, has utilized products from both companies for over
five years.

"ActionPoint's InputAccel provides us an incredibly
scalable document capture platform and Captiva's FormWare, running on the
InputAccelplatform, handles all our forms processing requirements," said
Cliff Melberger, CEO of Diversified Information Technologies, Inc. "To us, each
of these products represents best-in-class technology and, by using the two,
we've achieved an unprecedented level of flexibility, performance, and accurate
results. If this merger brings about a tighter integration between these two
products, then it would create an even more compelling solution."



Increased Operating Efficiencies

"By merging our resources and experience, we believe
the combined company will be able to address a broader market and realize
greater growth opportunities than either company could anticipate on its own,"
said Kimra Hawley, ActionPoint's Chairman. "In addition, ActionPoint's and
Captiva's technology, products, and capabilities are very synergistic, which
should enable the combined company to quickly benefit from improved operating
efficiencies."

The integrated sales force is expected to expand market reach
and its channel programs will feature some of the world's leading integrators
and resellers, including Unisys, Lockheed Martin, Xerox Connect, IKON ISS and
Computer Sciences Corporation. Product line breadth will increase significantly,
including a major expansion of value-added professional service offerings. The
merger should also position the combined company to operate more efficiently and
enhance potential for increased profitability.

Under the terms of the stock for stock merger, which is
subject to approval by the stockholders of both companies and other customary
closing conditions, Captiva equity shareholders will own approximately 49% of
the new company. The combined company plans to operate under the Captiva
Software Corporation name. "We believe that the name Captiva more clearly
describes our business as a merged entity, which is the leading provider of
capture software," continued Hawley. Ms. Hawley, ActionPoint's current Chairman,
will continue as the Chairman of the Board of the combined company, with the
remainder of the Board composed of members of both companies' Boards. Reynolds
C. Bish, currently President and CEO of Captiva, will be President and CEO of
the newly formed company, while Steve Francis, President and CEO of ActionPoint,
will be COO, with a focus on integrating and managing the two companies'
services and software development operations. Bish and Francis will continue as
CEOs of their respective companies until the merger is completed.

"ActionPoint and Captiva are an ideal combination," said
Reynolds C. Bish. "By combining our industry-leading products and services we
see a rare opportunity to deliver to our customers what they've been asking for
- a complete, integrated solution from a single source. We believe the critical
mass and economies of scale this merger provides should enable us to grow faster
and more profitably, enhancing operating results and shareholder value."

"ActionPoint and Captiva's products, technology, and industry
know-how are very complementary as evidenced by our success in teaming to
deliver solutions to our joint customers over the past 5 years," said Steve
Francis. "This experience has given us a valuable head start in the upcoming
integration the two organizations."
