Systems Integrator to Offer LEGATO's Content Management Suite

to Medical Providers

LEGATO Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ:LGTO) and SJ Technologies (SJT), a global Systems Integration firm, announce the immediate availability of SJT HIPAA Solutions to meet the healthcare industry's regulatory compliance requirements for patient records management. The integrated solution, based on LEGATO's ApplicationXtender(R) content management suite, is available through SJT.

Health care facilities (including hospitals, HMOs, PPOs, insurance companies and specialty care centers) generate millions of patient records each year. Concern over patient privacy prompted strict new guidelines for patient information access and management under the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Fully integrated with LEGATO's ApplicationXtender suite, SJT HIPAA Solutions deliver healthcare providers a more efficient means of capturing, organizing and providing intelligent access to patients' critical information as well as supporting compliance with security and privacy standards.

"Healthcare facilities that select SJT's HIPAA Solutions can streamline compliance, while improving overall operational efficiency," said Ed Bauer, vice president, Content Management, LEGATO Systems, Inc. "LEGATO is excited to extend our relationship with SJ Technologies to the healthcare market. Today's announcement furthers our goal of delivering comprehensive information management solutions to organizations in variety of vertical markets."

"We're excited about the opportunity to work with LEGATO to provide this integration for HIPAA Compliance," stated Ian Singer, president and CEO of SJ Technologies. "Because SJT HIPAA Solutions are based on LEGATO's Content Management solutions, they offer seamless installation and maintenance, as demonstrated by the organizations who are successfully utilizing these solutions."

SJ Technologies, headquartered in Phoenix, AZ with offices in New York, Seattle and Albuquerque, provides data storage, access and management of email systems and workflow solutions to financial, manufacturing, government, education and healthcare clients worldwide.

SJT's HIPAA Solutions consist of two modules: the Security Module and the Audit Module. Each Module delivers benefits including immediate compliance with the relevant standards and positive financial impact due to improved efficiency within the health care operation.

SJT's HIPAA Solutions are priced for economies of scale and enable organizations of virtually any size, including enterprise systems, to obtain the many benefits provided.
