Velocity Enterprise Search Platform Helps Datawatch|MailManager Customers Find and Unlock Buried Information to Meet Regulatory Demands

PITTSBURGH & CHELMSFORD, Mass. -- Vivisimo (Vivisimo.com) and Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH) today announced the integration of Vivisimo Velocity enterprise search capabilities with Datawatch|MailManager to power E-Discovery solutions. In May 2007, Enterprise Information Management provider Datawatch Corporation introduced Datawatch|MailManager to help organizations maximize e-mail storage efficiency, manage the e-mail lifecycle, and fulfill regulatory and E-Discovery requirements. Vivisimo, a leading provider of search software and expertise, offers Velocity Enterprise Search, a flexible and powerful platform for searching email as well as other enterprise content.

Datawatch seamlessly incorporated Vivisimo's search client to enhance the compliance and information retrieval capabilities for Datawatch|MailManager customers. With increasing regulations surrounding electronic content, corporations, government agencies and enterprises are required to make

information such as e-mail messages readily available and searchable. Search has become a key component to E-Discovery solutions; and by leveraging Vivisimo's search platform, Datawatch helps companies find and unlock the knowledge buried inside e-mail messages.

"E-mail is a primary communications tool and people are continually utilizing it to share knowledge both within and outside of the organization. As an integral part of e-mail archiving, search adds a discovery element to the process of information organization and knowledge management," said John Kitchen, chief marketing officer for Datawatch. "Vivisimo's award-winning Velocity search platform offers a powerful, secure and scalable tool with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. By integrating Velocity, Datawatch|MailManager offers the powerful search functionality our customers need to easily meet their regulatory and E-Discovery requirements."

Vivisimo's search capabilities integrated in Datawatch|MailManager include:

* Compliance Management - upon completion of a successful search, authorized users assign messages (and their associated attachments) to a legal case from the Datawatch|MailManager search client. E-mails assigned to a specific case can not be deleted, even if the retention period for those messages has expired; such messages will only be deleted after the case is closed.

* Enhanced Productivity through Knowledge Sharing - unique clustering search engine provides extremely rapid full text searching of message subject, body and/or attachments to unlock the vast wealth of organizational knowledge in e-mail. Static e-mail becomes actionable, sharable business knowledge.

"The demands for E-Discovery continue to make a profound impact on the way companies manage informational assets in the digital age. This inevitable marriage between enterprise search and e-mail archiving is taking shape within our growing global customer base as organizations realize that tackling today's regulations requires a mix of best-of-breed solutions," said Rebecca Thompson, Vivisimo's vice president of marketing. "We partnered with Datawatch because it is the leader in extracting actionable information from electronic content and we feel that Datawatch|MailManager helps customers thoroughly maximize the capabilities and potential of search."

Datawatch|MailManager, an enterprise e-mail archiving system for Microsoft Exchange environments, helps organizations maximize e-mail storage efficiency, manage the e-mail lifecycle, and fulfill regulatory and E-discovery requirements. By leveraging Datawatch's deep experience with document classification, segmentation, indexing, search and presentation, Datawatch|MailManager enables companies to unlock the knowledge buried inside e-mail messages.

The Velocity enterprise search platform provides a dependable, usable and stable end-user search experience across all corporate departments. It empowers customers to expand beyond the traditional limitations of departmental inquiries to enterprise-wide search without compromising security and reliability. Velocity easily connects with multiple content management, archiving and storage systems and databases.
