AmberPoint Extends Market Leadership with Addition of Marquee New Customers

SOA Management Leader Grows Customer Roster to Include Nielsen Media Research, Miami-Dade County, Bank Leumi, Capita, Booz Allen Hamilton, CTC, Syscom and ESME

Oakland, California, August 3, 2005 -- AmberPoint, the leading provider of service-oriented architecture (SOA) management solutions, announced today that the company signed a number of new customers in the last quarter, including television research firm Nielsen Media Research, strategic consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, Florida’s Miami-Dade County, global lender Bank Leumi of Israel, British business process outsourcing company Capita, distributors CTC in Japan and Syscom Computer Engineering in Taiwan, and prestigious technology university ESME in France. AmberPoint also completed significant follow-on business with existing customers and signed a number of other new customers across a variety of industries.

AmberPoint is consistently chosen over its competitors for its comprehensive management capabilities, its non-invasive approach to managing service-oriented systems, and its native support for both .NET and Java platforms.

“We carefully evaluated all the SOA management vendors before deciding on AmberPoint,” said Carmen Suarez, systems support manager at Miami-Dade County. “We selected AmberPoint because they offer the greatest breadth of management capabilities and they have an architectural advantage over the other vendors in this space. For us, the choice was obvious.”

AmberPoint has also grown the distribution of its complimentary developer’s edition software, AmberPoint Express, to more than 4,000 users. AmberPoint Express is now in use in sixty-five countries.

“Companies and government organizations implementing SOA are consistently turning to AmberPoint to manage their distributed, loosely coupled systems,” said John Hubinger, president and CEO of AmberPoint. “In the midst of this market growth, we are closing the vast majority of the opportunities, as organizations continue to select AmberPoint over our competitors and our existing customers sign on with us for follow-on business. Our recent customer signings include licensing agreements in seven countries around the globe, testament to the success of our international expansion.”

AmberPoint provides the management layer that is critical for realizing the return on investment from distributed, heterogeneous service-oriented systems. AmberPoint’s solutions provide comprehensive management and security capabilities without requiring any changes to the services themselves. AmberPoint was the first Web services management vendor with solutions that run natively in both .NET and Java, enabling its software products to fully leverage the advantages of both prevailing Web services platforms.
