PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS


GENERAL

Banyan Systems Incorporated (now doing business as ePresence), is a leading
provider of e-services on leading-edge Internet and directory technology. Our
primary service offerings include web site and web portal design and
implementation; directory and security planning, 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, 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 assure 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 plan to develop 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 begun to expand our
Microsoft certified network services organization, establish Customer Solutions
Centers and work 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. Through December 31, 1999, Microsoft has advanced $8.4 million and we
have certified 150 employees on Microsoft technologies.

In October 1999, we announced a decision to exit our software business and
initiated the accounting of our software 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 1999, we focused our efforts on strengthening our position in the
e-services marketplace with the creation of our services division and the
positioning of Switchboard as a viable stand-alone entity through business
development and a strategic relationship with CBS Corporation. This focus also
led to our January 2000 acquisition of an e-business services company that
specializes in web design, development and intregration to expand our e-services
market position.

Banyan is a registered trademark of the Company and ePresence is a
servicemark of the Company. Other trademarks, tradenames and service marks used
in this Annual Report Form 10-K are the property of their respective companies
or organizations.


SWITCHBOARD INCORPORATED

Our subsidiary, Switchboard Incorporated, 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, including
listings of over 96 million individuals, 12 million businesses and 4 million
e-mail addresses. 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. Following the offering, we own approximately 41% of Switchboard's
outstanding common stock. Due to our stock ownership and control of
Switchboard's board of directors, we will continue to consolidate Switchboard's
results as part of our financial results. See Note N, Segment information, in
the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 1999 which are incorporated by reference and included herein as
Exhibit 13.



CUSTOMERS

In 1999, we initiated a number of new consulting engagements with leading
organizations such as Daimler Chrysler, Ericsson, Exxon, Sony and the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, House of Representatives. 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, 1999 and 1998, no one customer accounted
for more than 10% of our continuing revenue. For the year ended 1997, Sprint,
Compaq Computer Corporation and GTE Operations accounted for approximately 17%,
15% and 11% of our continuing revenues.

SALES AND MARKETING

We market our services through sales professionals located in North
America, Europe and Australia. Our primary U.S. regional offices are based in or
near Boston, Dallas, Detroit, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Internationally, we have regional offices in Australia, 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 to support our services solutions selling
with the following companies: Checkpoint, Commvault, Critical Path, Dell, EMC,
F5, Fastlane, Incognito, Lightspeed Software, Microsoft, Netegrity, Nextpoint
Networks, Oblix, Peerlogic, Sun-Netscape Alliance and Tally Systems.


COMPETITION

The services business is highly fragmented and increasingly competitive
with no dominant set of Internet consulting or integration competitors 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, 1999, we employed 345 persons, including 243 in sales,
marketing, professional services delivery and related activities, 37 in finance,
administration, and human resources, 53 in Switchboard Incorporated and 12 in
our discontinued software business. We have no collective bargaining agreement
with our employees. We believe that our relations with employees are good.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal administrative and sales and marketing facilities are located
in Westboro, Massachusetts and consist of approximately 170,000 square feet
under leases that expire at various times from December 31, 2002 through July
31, 2005, with an aggregate annual base rent of approximately $941,000. We
sublease approximately 77,000 square feet of that space including aproximately
18,000 square feet to Switchboard, under subleases that expire on July 31, 2000,
September 18, 2000 and December 31, 2002, with an aggregate annual base rental
income of approximately $954,000. We lease and occupy sales offices in 25
additional locations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to our business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or
of which any of their property is the subject.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.
