Synygy Unveils New Data Center and Breakthrough Pricing; State-of-the-Art Facility Supports on-Demand Delivery of Enterprise Incentive Management -EIM- Solutions at Industry's Lowest Rates

Business Wire, June 27, 2005

CHESTER, Pa. -- As part of the move today to its new Chester, Pa.-based world headquarters, Synygy Inc., the largest provider of Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM) solutions, unveiled its new 5000 square foot data center. Synygy also announced new subscription pricing with a starting rate that is the lowest in the industry.

By supplying application management services through its own data center and by providing incentive compensation plan management services with its global professional services staff, Synygy uniquely offers the market a choice of EIM deployment options: installed software, hosted software-as-a-service, installed managed services, and hosted managed services.

Synygy's new data center, with a capacity for 3000 servers, combined with its offsite backup data center, features a level of security, application availability, maintenance, scalability, and enterprise data integration that meets or exceeds even the toughest standards.

To protect its clients' data, Synygy's security measures cover application, data, server, network, and physical security. To ensure 24x7 application availability, Synygy's data center includes redundant physical systems, multiple Internet connections, application monitoring, data center monitoring, backups, an escalation process, and a disaster recovery process. To ensure optimal performance and scalability, Synygy monitors, maintains, and upgrades the hardware, third-party software, and Synygy software. To integrate with its clients' existing applications, Synygy has proven its ability to import and export data to nearly all major ERP, CRM, HR, sales, payroll, and finance systems, including legacy systems and software from PeopleSoft, Siebel, Oracle, and SAP.

Synygy also has the industry's most straightforward pricing plan. In place of a large up-front software license fee (plus hosting fees, application management fees, plan management fees, and/or maintenance and support fees), Synygy charges a simple, single pay-as-you-go subscription fee. The fee varies with the deployment option selected and the number of plan participants--now starting at just $40 per user per month, a breakthrough in the EIM market.

"The software-as-a-service model is a new and revolutionary way to deliver enterprise solutions," explained Mark A. Stiffler, Synygy president and CEO. "Synygy has proven its success at uniquely providing application management services and plan management services to rapidly deliver the flexibility that our clients are demanding from their EIM solutions. Our move to Chester gave us an opportunity to build a world-class data center that not only supports this, but allows us to simplify our pricing."

Synygy's application management services eliminate the need for clients to dedicate IT resources to supporting the EIM application. Synygy provides clients with a hardware and software environment optimized for EIM performance and regularly updates the system with the latest versions of Synygy software. More than just placing a server in the data center, Synygy takes care of hardware, database support, scalability, uptime, reliability, and security. This eliminates platform and other technology issues and speeds the deployment of EIM solutions--which are now routinely delivered in three to six months.
