Market Wire, June, 2006

The Frost & Sullivan Award for Business Development Strategy Leadership 2006 has been awarded to Axolotl for excellence in business development within the healthcare industry. The company provides solutions to manage communication and information for hospitals, physicians, and healthcare communities. The Award recognizes Axolotl's ability to best perceive industry needs, successfully introduce products or services to the industry, and identify new market segments to expand the existing customer base. Through a combination of vision, technology, and successful marketing, Axolotl has demonstrated superior market growth skills.

To select the recipient of this Award, the analyst team tracks all the major participants in the industry, paying close attention to their business development efforts. This process includes interviews with the market participants, customers, and suppliers, along with extensive secondary and technology research. The companies' business development efforts are then analyzed and ranked based on the number of new customers, new segments, and commitment to business expansion.

"Axolotl is a pioneer in the clinical messaging arena and provides market-leading capabilities to automate the healthcare continuum for hospitals, clinics, labs, radiology centers, and their affiliated physicians," says Steve Tobin, an analyst for Frost & Sullivan. "Long ahead of the health information exchange trend, the company has been providing sound applications that allow physicians and hospitals across organizations to connect and securely exchange healthcare information. With the ability to connect disparate applications and sophisticated tools to manage this process, its second-generation technology, e2, has evolved with super EMR and HIM functionality."

"The company provides leading solutions not only for clinical messaging but also in patient identification, clinical repository, EMRs, public health and others," continued Tobin. "We believe the company is well suited for the future deployment of regional health information exchanges and will continue to be the leader."

"We are honored to be the recipients of this prestigious award from Frost & Sullivan," stated Ray Scott, CEO at Axolotl.
