(formerly Banyan Systems Incorporated)("ePresence," the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a leading provider of technology-services from e-infrastructure through web development deployed on leading-edge Internet and directory technologies. Our primary service offerings include web site and web portal design and implementation; directory and security planning, application design and integration; and network integration and optimization. Web site design and web portal design and implementation services allow customers to use the Internet to further the goals of their businesses. Our system architects plan the technical infrastructure for intranets, extranets and Internet sites. We assist customers with Web site management, staffing, content and maintenance. We develop data-backed Web sites including directories, image repositories, course catalogs, archives, document libraries and other applications. We have the capability to integrate third-party software into customers' web applications, such as search engines, SQL databases, ad management software and other applications with a focus on customer relationship management and personalization. Directory and security planning, application design and integration allow customers to improve the architecture and performance of their enterprise and Internet infrastructure. Our consultants provide a comprehensive analysis of a customer's enterprise-computing environment including topology, security requirements, client capabilities, application and messaging directory environment, constraints and data ownership. Our consultants also provide a security assessment service, which includes a comprehensive security analysis of a customer's enterprise and Internet infrastructure that assesses critical requirements and efficiencies. The service includes a review of business objectives, a basic security assessment, a threat and risk assessment and a penetration analysis simulating an intruder attack in a safe, controlled way. The customer's directory and security is evaluated and an assessment of available technology products is performed. Our consultants provide customers with a proof of concept where a proposed solution is built, prototyped and tested. Network integration and optimization allow customers to achieve improved network performance across multiple platforms. We understand that high availability and performance are the foundation of creating an e-business environment that offers customers, employees and business partners a positive experience. Building and improving infrastructure designs, proactively addressing recurring performance issues and planning for growth all require that organizations have an understanding of the normal operating conditions of their applications and underlying network. We offer personalized, proactive application trending, with expert analysis and recommendations for improving and maintaining overall application performance, underlying network performance, service levels and bandwith utilization. A critical element of our strategy is to ensure that customers are provided with consulting services required to build, manage and optimize the network environment using multi-vendor products. Consulting services are generally offered on a customized basis and in certain cases are packaged with other services. When combined with other third party products and services, they are positioned as solution offerings. In early 1999, we established a global alliance with Microsoft Corporation to deliver greater business value and increase competitive advantage for enterprise customers. We have developed new services and software tools that increase the interoperability, connectivity and integration among our products and those of Microsoft. As part of the alliance, we have expanded our Microsoft certified network services organization, established Customer Solutions Centers and worked with Microsoft to develop worldwide sales and marketing programs. Under the agreement, Microsoft agreed to provide $10 million over a three-year period for training at least 500 professionals, certain marketing and product development efforts as well as the purchase of 1,750,000 common stock warrants. Microsoft has advanced $8.4 million to the Company. In October 1999, we announced a decision to exit our software business and initiated accounting for this business as discontinued operations. Prior to 1999, the largest share of our revenue was derived from our software business. Since 1995, our software revenues had declined primarily due to competitive pressures in the network operating system and electronic messaging markets. During 2000, we focused our efforts on strengthening our position in the services marketplace with the acquisition of two services companies and the intital public offering of Switchboard. ePresence is a servicemark of the Company. Other trademarks, tradenames and service marks used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are the property of their respective companies or organizations. SWITCHBOARD INCORPORATED Switchboard Incorporated ("Switchboard"), formerly a majority-owned subsidiary, is a leading Internet-based local merchant network interconnecting consumers, merchants and national advertisers. Through its Web site, Switchboard.com, Switchboard offers users local information about people and businesses across the United States. The Switchboard Web site provides a broad range of functions, content and services designed to connect consumers and businesses on the Internet. On March 2, 2000, Switchboard consummated an initial public offering. Prior to the offering we owned approximately 54% of Switchboard's outstanding common stock. As of March 26, 2001, we own approximately 38% of Switchboard's outstanding common stock. Due to our stock ownership and our control of Switchboard's board of directors during 2000, we consolidated Switchboard's results as part of our financial results. See Note S, Segment informaton, in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 which are incorporated by reference and included herein in Exhibit 13. In January 2001, ePresence, Viacom and Switchboard terminated the Switchboard Voting Rights Agreement dated as of June 30, 1999. As a result, we no longer control the Switchboard board of directors. Beginning on January 1, 2001, we will account for our investment in Switchboard on the equity method whereby our pro rata share of Switchboard's net (loss) /income will be reflected as a separate line item below (loss)/income form operations as opposed to the consolidated accounting treatment applied in 2000 and prior periods. CUSTOMERS In 2000, we initiated a number of new consulting engagements with leading organizations such as Cingular Interactive, Fiduciary Trust International, and The Turner Corporation. Going forward, we believe Internet-related services will be increasingly important to customers that desire to cost-effectively, securely and reliably extend the reach of their key business applications via the Web. Our services customers, which include many Fortune 500 companies, typically are medium to large-size businesses, financial institutions, professional organizations, universities, government entities and not-for-profit organizations with multiple sites dispersed over wide geographic areas. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our continuing revenue. SALES AND MARKETING We market our services primarily through sales professionals located in North America, Europe and Australia. Our principal U.S. regional offices are based in or near Boston, Dallas, Detroit, New York and Washington, D.C. Internationally, we have regional offices in Canada, Germany, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom. This regional focus, combined with our local service approach, helps us to develop strong market presence and recognition in each of our local markets. Our sales professionals operate through a coordinated process to evaluate prospective customers and secure new engagements. Our sales efforts are supplemented by marketing and communications activities that are pursued to build brand and recognition in the marketplace. These activities include a public relations program, attendance at industry conferences and business events, sales and marketing materials, public speaking oppurtunities and training and branding our solutions selling model. We have established alliances, including with the following companies, to support our services solutions selling: ATG, Business Layers, Commvault, Dell, EMC, Fastlane, IBM, Interwoven, iPlanet (a Sun-Netscape Alliance), Microsoft, Netegrity, Netscout, Screaming Media, and Vignette. COMPETITION The services business is highly fragmented and increasingly competitive with no dominant set of Internet consulting or integration companies worldwide that we directly compete against. We believe that we currently compete principally with consulting and integration firms, application vendors and internal information systems groups. Many of these companies have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have and generate greater revenues and have greater name recognition than us. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into our markets, and we have faced, and expect to continue to face, additional competition from new entrants into our markets. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 2000, we employed 400 persons, including 353 in sales, marketing, professional services delivery and related activities, 44 in finance, legal, administration, and human resources and 3 in our discontinued software business. In addition, Switchboard employed 93 persons as of such date. We have no collective bargaining agreement with respect to our employees. We believe that our relations with employees are good.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS See Note S, Segment Information, in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 which are incorporated by reference and included herein in Exhibit 13. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal administrative and sales and marketing facilities are located in Westboro, Massachusetts and consist of approximately 79,203 square feet under a lease that expires on July 31, 2005, with an aggregate annual base rent of approximately $423,744.

We lease and occupy sales offices in 23 additional locations throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. ITEM 3.
