Real-Time Legacy Application Connectivity To Enable

True End-to-End CRM Integration

Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq:JCDA), the leading provider of legacy extension and integration solutions for e-business, and SeeBeyond (Nasdaq:SBYN), the leading global provider of eBusiness and Application Integration solutions, today announced their first joint product offering, a highly scalable, high performance real-time integration solution for legacy system connectivity. With this global alliance, SeeBeyond and Jacada have jointly packaged a robust, integrated solution to enable rapid connectivity to virtually any legacy application via the SeeBeyond(TM) Business Integration Suite.

From Global 2000 companies to public sector agencies and departments, many organizations today are faced with the challenges of reducing costs, increasing sales and improving customer service. This involves changes to key business processes which must be made with the customer in mind, utilizing real-time access to key customer data. Often this critical customer information is locked away in legacy databases and systems that are difficult to access. With a comprehensive integration solution, these organizations can gain access to this data and begin to deliver improvements to customer service and sales processes while extending the reach and life of their legacy systems.

"SeeBeyond and Jacada have already established a strong customer base with successful real-time legacy integration at enterprise organizations such as Pacific Life Insurance, Decision One, Lanier, and French bank Entenial," said Peter Fausel, president of Jacada Inc. "SeeBeyond's leadership in providing complete integration solutions and Jacada's proven ability to integrate legacy systems make this a solid partnership. Moving forward, we plan to aggressively market and expand our joint presence within the enterprise to leading organizations worldwide."

Together, Jacada and SeeBeyond offer an integrated platform that can accelerate the delivery of these critical business initiatives to deliver highly scalable business applications such as helping companies enable new customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities while more effectively competing in a global market.

Traditional legacy integration approaches have not proven to be scalable and have resulted in slow performance. This joint solution from Jacada and SeeBeyond provides high performance, real-time integration between legacy mainframe and midrange systems, as well as to more modern packaged applications from leading vendors such as JD Edwards, Oracle, PeopleSoft and Siebel Systems. Supported systems include IBM mainframes, Unisys, and Bull as well as midrange systems such as the iSeries (formerly AS/400) and DEC VAX. The solution can also be applied to many vertical-specific applications such as BPCS, HUON, SAP R/2, ICBS, ICMS, JD Edwards, Alltel, Target/400, Hogan, and Amdocs.

"Offering Jacada's legacy integration capabilities in addition to SeeBeyond's e*Gate platform will make it easier and more cost effective to integrate mission-critical legacy data into the enterprise," said Kate Mitchell, senior vice president of Marketing & Business Development for SeeBeyond. "Integration is currently at the forefront of many global I/T initiatives and this bundled offering will allow both SeeBeyond and Jacada customers to enhance the real-time flow of information throughout the enterprise."
