                               ----------------

  Your vote at the annual meeting is important to us. Please vote your shares
of common stock by completing the enclosed proxy card and returning it to us
in the enclosed envelope. This proxy statement has information about the
annual meeting and was prepared by our management for the board of directors.
This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to
you on or about May 22, 2000.

                       GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Who can vote?

  You can vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned
the shares on May 17, 2000. A total of          shares of common stock can
vote at the annual meeting. You get one vote for each share of common stock.
The enclosed proxy card shows the number of shares you can vote.

How do I vote by proxy?

  Follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to vote on each proposal
to be considered at the annual meeting. Sign and date the proxy card and mail
it back to us in the enclosed envelope. If the proxy card is properly signed
and returned, the proxyholders named on the proxy card will vote your shares
as you instruct. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not vote on a
proposal, the proxyholders will vote for you on that proposal. Unless you
instruct otherwise, the proxyholders will vote FOR the director nominee and
FOR each of the other proposals to be considered at the meeting.

What if other matters come up at the annual meeting?

  The matters described in this proxy statement are the only matters we know
will be voted on at the annual meeting. If other matters are properly
presented at the meeting, the proxyholders will vote your shares as they see
fit.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

  Yes. At any time before the vote on a proposal, you can change your vote
either by filing with our Secretary at our principal executive offices at 2000
Charleston Rd., Suite 1000, Mountain View, CA 94043-1632, a written notice
revoking your proxy card or by signing, dating and returning to us a new proxy
card. We will honor the proxy card with the latest date. You may also revoke
your proxy by attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

Can I vote in person at the annual meeting rather than by completing the proxy
card?

  Although we encourage you to complete and return the proxy card to ensure
that your vote is counted, you can attend the annual meeting and vote your
shares in person.

What do I do if my shares are held in "street name"?

  If your shares are held in the name of your broker, a bank, or other
nominee, that party should give you instructions for voting your shares.

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

How are votes counted?

  We will hold the annual meeting if holders of a majority of the shares of
common stock entitled to vote either sign and return their proxy cards or
attend the meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card, your shares will
be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail
to vote on any of the proposals listed on the proxy card.

  If your shares are held in the name of a nominee, and you do not tell the
nominee how to vote your shares (so-called "broker nonvotes"), the nominee can
vote them as it sees fit only on matters that are determined to be routine,
and not on any other proposal. Broker nonvotes will be counted as present to
determine if a quorum exists but will not be counted as present and entitled
to vote on any nonroutine proposal.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

  We will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation,
assembly, printing and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any
additional solicitation materials furnished to the stockholders. Copies of
solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and
custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others
so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners.
In addition, we may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the
solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of
proxies by mail may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone, telegram
or other means by directors, officers or employees of ours. No additional
compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services. Except
as described above, we do not presently intend to solicit proxies other than
by mail.

                             STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

  To be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the
annual meeting to be held in 2001, a stockholder proposal must be received by
Raja H. Venkatesh, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Viador Inc., 2000
Charleston Rd., Suite 1000, Mountain View, CA 94043-1632, no later than
February 17, 2001. If we are not notified of a stockholder proposal by May 10,
2001, then the proxy solicited by the board of directors for the 2001 annual
meeting will confer discretionary authority to vote against such stockholder
proposal.

                                PROPOSAL NO. 1:

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

  Our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of
directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving staggered
three-year terms. As a result, a portion of our board of directors will be
elected each year. To implement the classified structure, prior to the
consummation of our initial public offering in October 1999, we elected one
board member to a one-year term, two board members to two-year terms, and two
board members to three-year terms. Virginia M. Turezyn was designated a Class
I director whose term expires at the 2000 annual meeting of stockholders. Dawn
G. Lepore and Chong Sup Park were designated Class II directors whose terms
expire at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders. Stan X. Wang and Teddy
Kiang were designated Class III directors whose terms expire at the 2002
annual meeting of stockholders.

  After these initial terms, a single class of directors will be elected each
year at the annual meeting. Subject to transition provisions, each director
elected at each such meeting will serve for a term ending on the date of the
third annual meeting of stockholders after his or her election or until his or
her successor has been elected and duly qualified.

  The number of directors is determined from time to time by the board of
directors and is currently fixed at six members. Nevertheless, pursuant to our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the board of directors expects to
review the size of the board of directors from time to time, and if suitable
outside candidates are available, the board may increase the size of the board
of directors.

  One director is to be elected at this annual meeting to serve until the 2003
annual meeting, or until a successor is duly elected and qualified. If the
nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the proxies may be
voted for any substitute nominee designated by the present board of directors
or the proxy holders to fill such vacancy, or the board of directors may be
reduced in accordance with our bylaws. The board of directors has no reason to
believe that the person named will be unable or unwilling to serve as a
nominee or as a director if elected.

  Set forth below is certain information concerning the nominees and the other
incumbent directors:

                       COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON
                            EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

  The compensation committee of the board of directors sets the compensation
of the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the design, administration and
effectiveness of compensation programs for other key executives and approves
stock option grants for all executive officers. The committee is composed
entirely of outside directors.

 Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

  We operate in the extremely competitive and rapidly changing high technology
industry. The committee believes that the compensation programs for the
executive officers should be designed to attract, motivate and retain talented
executives responsible for our success, and should be determined within a
competitive framework and based on the achievement of designated financial
targets, individual contribution, customer satisfaction and financial
performance relative to that of our competitors. Within this overall
philosophy, the committee's objectives are to:

  . Offer a total compensation program that takes into consideration the
    compensation practices of a group of specifically identified peer
    companies and other selected companies with which we compete for
    executive talent.

  . Provide annual variable incentive awards that take into account our
    overall financial performance in terms of designated corporate objectives
    and the relative performance of relevant peer companies, as well as
    individual contributions.

  . Align the financial interests of executive officers with those of
    stockholders by providing significant equity-based, long-term incentives.

 Compensation Components and Process

  The three major components of our executive officers' compensation are: (i)
base salary, (ii) variable incentive awards and (iii) long-term, equity-based
incentive awards. The committee determines the compensation levels for the
executive officers with the assistance of our Human Resources Department,
which works with an independent consulting firm that furnishes the committee
with executive compensation data drawn from a nationally recognized survey of
similarly sized technology companies that have been identified as the peer
companies. The positions of our Chief Executive Officer and executive officers
were compared with those of their counterparts at the peer companies, and the
market compensation levels for comparable positions were examined to determine
base salary, target incentives and total cash compensation. In addition, the
practices of the peer companies concerning stock option grants were reviewed
and compared.

  Base Salary. The base salary for each executive officer is determined at
levels considered appropriate for comparable positions at the peer companies.
Our policy is to target base salary levels between the 50th and
75th percentile of compensation practices at the peer companies.

  Variable Incentive Awards. To reinforce the attainment of our goals, the
committee believes that a portion of the annual compensation of each executive
officer should be in the form of variable incentive pay. The annual incentive
pool for executive officers is determined on the basis of our achievement of
the financial performance targets established at the beginning of the fiscal
year and also includes a range for the executive's contribution and a
strategic component tied to our performance relative to a select group of
competitors. The incentive plan sets a threshold level of our performance
based on revenue that must be attained before any incentives are awarded. Once
the fiscal year's threshold is reached, specific formulas are in place to
calculate the actual incentive payment for each officer. A target is set for
each executive officer based on targets for comparable positions at the peer
companies and is stated in terms of an escalating percentage of the officer's
base salary for the year. In fiscal 1999, we achieved our corporate
performance targets as well as the strategic target tied to

                                     A-14
<PAGE>

revenue performance relative to the selected competitor group. Awards paid
reflected those results plus individual accomplishments of both corporate and
functional objectives and a component based upon customer satisfaction.

  Long-Term, Equity-Based Incentive Awards. The goal of our long-term, equity-
based incentive awards is to align the interests of executive officers with
stockholders and to provide each executive officer with a significant
incentive to manage from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in
the business. The committee determines the size of long-term, equity-based
incentives according to each executive's position, and sets a level it
considers appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership.
In addition, the committee takes into account an individual's recent
performance, his or her potential for future responsibility and promotion,
comparable awards made to individuals in similar positions with the peer
companies and the number of unvested options held by each individual at the
time of the new grant. The relative weight given to each of these factors
varies among individuals at the committee's discretion. During fiscal 1999,
the committee made option grants to Messrs. Harding, Dille and Ramakrishnan
under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. Each grant allows the officer to acquire
shares of our common stock at a fixed price per share (the market price on the
grant date) over a specified period of time. Options granted to this group of
individuals in June 1999, and later, vest in periodic installments over a
four-year period, contingent upon the executive officer's continued employment
with us. Accordingly, the option grants will provide a return only if the
officer remains with us and only if the market price appreciates over the
option term.

  CEO Compensation. In setting the total compensation payable to our Chief
Executive Officer for the 1999 fiscal year, the compensation committee sought
to make that compensation competitive with the compensation paid to the Chief
Executive Officers of companies in the surveyed group.

  The compensation committee adjusted Mr. Wang's base salary for the 1999
fiscal year in recognition of his performance and with the objective of
maintaining his base salary at a competitive level with similarly situated
Chief Executive Officers. With respect to Mr. Wang's base salary, it is the
compensation committee's intent to provide him with a level of stability and
certainty and not have this particular component of compensation affected to
any significant degree by our performance factors. For the 1999 fiscal year,
Mr. Wang's base salary was approximately at the median of the base salary
levels of other Chief Executive Officers at the surveyed companies.

  The remaining components of Mr. Wang's 1999 fiscal year compensation,
however, were primarily dependent upon corporate performance. Mr. Wang was
eligible for a cash bonus for the 1999 fiscal year as determined by the
compensation committee. A $70,000 bonus was paid to him because he attained
his performance goals. Mr. Wang has not entered into a formal employment
agreement with us.

 Other Elements of Executive Compensation

  Executives are eligible for corporation-wide medical and dental benefits and
participation in a 401(k) plan under which we currently provide no matching
contributions. In addition, executives participate in a corporation-wide short
and long-term disability insurance program and a group term life insurance
program.

 Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

  Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a tax deduction to
publicly held companies for compensation paid to certain of their executive
officers, to the extent that compensation exceeds $1 million per covered
officer in any fiscal year. The limitation applies only to compensation that
is not considered to be performance-based. Non-performance based compensation
paid to our executive officers for the 1999 fiscal year did not exceed the $1
million limit for any officer, and the compensation committee does not
anticipate that the non-performance based compensation to be paid to our
executive officers for fiscal 2000 will exceed that limit. Our 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan has been structured so that any compensation deemed paid in
connection with the exercise of option grants made under that plan with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the option shares on the
grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation that will not be
subject to the

                                     A-15
<PAGE>

$1 million limitation. Because it is unlikely that the cash compensation
payable to any of our executive officers in the foreseeable future will
approach the $1 million limit, the compensation committee has decided at this
time not to take any action to limit or restructure the elements of cash
compensation payable to our executive officers. The compensation committee
will reconsider this decision should the individual cash compensation of any
executive officer ever approach the $1 million level.

  It is the opinion of the committee that the executive compensation policies
and plans provide the necessary total remuneration program to properly align
our performance and interests of our stockholders through the use of
competitive and equitable executive compensation in a balanced and reasonable
manner, for both the short- and long-term.

                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

  In fiscal year 1999, there was not, nor is there currently proposed, any
transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are to be a
party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $60,000 and in
which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our common
stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons
had or will have a direct or indirect material interest other than the
transactions described below. We believe each of the transactions described
below was negotiated at arms-length and were on terms as favorable as those
obtainable from disinterested third parties.

 Preferred Stock Financings

  Since May 23, 1997, we have issued 2,495,994 shares of our Series C
Preferred Stock at a price of $5.8416 per share, 2,763,632 shares of our
Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $3.12 per share and 1,543,235 shares of
our Series A Preferred Stock at a weighted average price of $2.2777 per share
in a series of private financings. We issued these securities pursuant to
preferred stock purchase agreements and an investors' rights agreement on
substantially similar terms except for terms relating to date and price, under
which we made standard representations, warranties, and covenants, and which
provided the purchasers thereunder with registration rights, information
rights, and rights of first refusal, among other provisions standard in
venture capital financings.

 Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement

  Under the terms of an investors' rights agreement dated May 21, 1999, among
us and the holders of our preferred stock, the investors acquired certain
registration rights with respect to their capital stock of Viador Inc. At any
time after three-months following our initial public offering, holders of 40%
or more of the outstanding preferred stock may require us to effect
registration under the Securities Act covering at least 40% of the outstanding
Registrable Securities, as defined in the investors' rights agreement, subject
to the board of directors' right to defer such registration for a period up to
60 days. However, we are obligated to effect only two of those registrations.
All registration expenses incurred in connection with the first two demand
registrations described above and all piggyback registrations will be borne by
us. The participating investors will pay for underwriting discounts and
commissions incurred in connection with those registrations. We have agreed to
indemnify the investors against certain liabilities in connection with any
registration effected pursuant to this investors' rights agreement, including
Securities Act liabilities.

  In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in our Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, we have entered into indemnification
agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements require
us, among other things, to indemnify such director or officer against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlements paid by such
individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of
such individual's status or service as a director or officer of ours (other
than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly
fraudulent or deliberately dishonest) and to advance expenses incurred by such
individual in connection with any proceeding against such individual with
respect to which such individual may be entitled to indemnification by us.

  All future transactions between us and our officers, directors, principal
stockholders and affiliates will be approved by a majority of the independent
and disinterested members of the board of directors and will be on terms no
less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

  Our directors and executive officers must file reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission indicating the number of shares of our common stock
they beneficially own and any changes in their beneficial ownership. Copies of
these reports must be provided to us. Based on our review of these reports and
written representations from the persons required to file them, we believe
each of our directors and executive officers filed all the required reports
during 1999, except that one Form 4 filing was made by Mr. Raja H. Venkatesh
in the first quarter of 2000, and Forms 3 and 4 that were to have been filed
by Mr. Subramanian Ramakrishnan in 1999, were instead filed in the 1st quarter
of 2000. To our knowledge, during 1999, no other person subject to the
reporting requirement of Section 16(a) failed to file or was delinquent in
filing a required report.
