Billings 2.5 Upgrades UI, Daylite Integration and Offers Mac Developer
Hooks Merlin 2 the first Mac program to take advantage of new Billings data
exchange format

TORONTO, ON - 9 May 2007 - For Billings 2.5, it's all about increasing the
"wow factor". Mac-based professionals using Marketcircle Inc.'s Billings
2.5 will enjoy a far more visual User Interface (UI) that better matches
client workflow and seamless integration with Marketcircle business
productivity stable-mate Daylite 3 (version 3.2.3, also available today).
Third party Mac programs - starting with Merlin 2 from ProjectWizards GmbH
- can also take advantage of the new Billings Exchange Format (BEX) to
integrate with Billings 2.5.

Billings 2.5 is available immediately from Marketcircle, with U.S. pricing

trial at (http://www.billings2.com). The software is a free upgrade for
Billings 2.0 users.

"Even with the kudos Billings has earned from customers and reviewers, in
an unusual move for a mid-stream release, we decided to revamp the primary
interface screens to make it even easier and to improve on our
5-minute-to-first-invoice promise," says Marketcircle CEO Alykhan Jetha.
"Our aim with Billings 2.5 was greater simplicity, and time-saving workflow
improvements with other applications such as Daylite 3 and Merlin 2. I
think our customers will appreciate the efforts that our engineers have put
into this release."

In addition to the UI upgrade, Billings 2.5 users benefit from a host of
new timesaving features, including:

* Integration with Daylite 3 (version 3.2.3) business productivity
management software. Manage business in Daylite 3 while bringing data into
Billings 2.5 for time tracking associated with sending invoices. Contact

format for sharing data between other Mac programs and Billings 2.5. The

total of 12) that are fully customizable to enhance a business's image
