Facilities, Inc., an Internet-managed services provider.  Mr. O'Reilly launched
his career in general practice, and later served as General Counsel and head of
acquisitions for the Midlantic Group for six years.  Mr. O'Reilly then acquired

successful disposition to Fortune 1000 purchasers.  Mr. O'Reilly holds a BA from
St. Joseph's University, a JD (Magna cum laude) from Western New England College
School of Law and an MBA (Magna cum laude) from Pennsylvania State University.

"Video Intelligence had a very dynamic working relationship with DataVoN even
before the recent acquisition, and I am excited with the challenge and the
opportunity to expand my role in the company.  In the coming months I anticipate
that our new strategic model will produce accelerated and profitable growth in
the broadband market as we extend our next generation network deployment," said
