Business Wire, July 10, 2006

ADDISON, Texas -- Systemware, Inc., the leading specialized enterprise content management company, today announced that leading analyst firm Gartner, Inc., has positioned Systemware in the "Leaders" quadrant of its recently published Magic Quadrant for Integrated Document Archive and Retrieval Systems, 2006 (IDARS). The report, which was published on June 27, 2006 and co-authored by Kenneth Chin and Toby Bell, evaluated vendors who provide products for the storage, access, management, distribution and viewing of fixed content, including print-stream reports and images.

According to the report, "leaders" are vendors that achieve the highest combined measures of ability to execute and completeness of vision. They have the most comprehensive and most scalable products and have a proven track record of financial performance and established market presence. In terms of vision, they are perceived as thought leaders, with well-articulated plans for product development, marketing and channel support. They have established a strong IDARS market presence with their installed base, and they demonstrate continued customer and revenue growth.(1)

Gartner Magic Quadrants provide a visual snapshot of a specific market by plotting the relative positions of vendors in the leaders, challengers, niche players or visionaries' quadrant. Analysts evaluate vendors on their strengths in vision and ability to execute by assessing each company's technology, service, support, features, functionality, and viability. Gartner classifies companies as leaders if they are performing well, have a clear vision of market direction, and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
