ORINDA, Calif. -- Intraware, Inc. (Nasdaq:ITRA), the leading provider of electronic software delivery and management (ESDM) solutions for enterprise software publishers and other Fortune 1000 companies, today announced that iRise (www.irise.com), the world's leading application definition software and services company, has renewed and expanded its commitment to the Intraware SubscribeNet(R) service to take greater advantage of its customer support and operational benefits. Based on this renewal, iRise will add additional ESDM self-service tools to enhance end user customer satisfaction as well as administrative functionality to further automate and integrate their software and license delivery processes into their customer support, product release management and other business systems.

"iRise's decision to renew and expand the SubscribeNet service represents its ongoing commitment to provide its customers with the most efficient and cost-effective access to its products," said Peter Jackson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Intraware.
