                     BRIO TECHNOLOGY COMPLETES ACQUISITION
                             OF SQRIBE TECHNOLOGIES

              The "New Brio" combines strengths of both companies
            to create the leading platform for business intelligence

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- August 3, 1999 -- Brio Technology (Nasdaq: BRYO) today
announced the completion of its acquisition of privately held SQRIBE
Technologies Corp. of Redwood City, Calif.  The company will continue to operate
under the name Brio Technology, Inc. and to trade under the symbol "BRYO" on the
Nasdaq National Market.

The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. Brio Technology
had revenues of $46.5 million for its fiscal year ending March 31, 1999.  SQRIBE
Technologies had revenues of $39.2 million for its fiscal year ending December
31, 1999.  The combined company had revenues of $85.7 million for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 1999. With the close of the transaction, former Brio
Technology stockholders hold approximately 55% of the combined company, with
former SQRIBE stockholders holding approximately 45%.  The value and number of
shares SQRIBE stockholders will receive is based upon the price of Brio common
stock at the close of the stock market today, as well as other factors discussed
in the Company's proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC.

With the acquisition of SQRIBE, Brio Technology will provide the industry's most
comprehensive, scaleable, business intelligence platform for deploying decision
processing applications across the e-enterprise. This extended product line
enables Brio to better meet the business intelligence requirements of
organizations that are utilizing e-business and the Web as critical components
of their operations. With the acquisition, Brio has also expanded its worldwide
market presence with an increased direct and indirect sales force in North
America, Europe and Australasia as well as expanded international coverage.

"From all indications, Brio is effecting a positive integration of the two
firms, creating a leading enterprise business intelligence player," said Wayne
Eckerson, senior consultant of Patricia Seybold Group.
