Attunity and Compaq Join Forces to Extend the Reach of More Than

450,000 OpenVMS Systems for eBusiness and B2B 

Attunity Ltd. (International Software Group Ltd., d/b/a Attunity Ltd.), (NASDAQ:SISG), a global provider of eBusiness and B2B integration solutions, today announced an extended agreement with Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ) that enables the computer giant to embed Attunity Connect JDBC(TM)access into its Alpha-based OpenVMS enterprise systems.

The advanced information infrastructure integration software of Attunity Connect extends OpenVMS systems, making them an ideal platform for B2B and eBusiness initiatives.

Attunity Connect's native JDBC implementation enables Compaq users to connect their existing enterprise systems with new B2C and B2B systems. With the extended agreement -- which represents a team effort built on an ongoing successful marketing alliance between the companies -- Compaq can satisfy an ever-increasing demand for integration of back-office systems with new web applications.

"This is exactly what we envisioned for the IT community when we introduced the Attunity Connect JDBC Interface in 1999," said Arie Gonen, Chairman and CEO of Attunity Ltd. "Compaq OpenVMS users now have a quick and easy way to bring their existing IT infrastructure in alignment with new eBusiness solutions, allowing them to respond immediately to the dramatic shifts in the marketplace."

Attunity Connect software enables B2B and Web applications to access and integrate information and applications across multiple platforms and over the Internet. Enterprises can use this universal integration capability to incorporate their existing applications and business processes as-is into new B2B solutions.

Rich Marcello, Vice President of Compaq's OpenVMS Group, said, "Our relationship with Attunity allows us to concentrate on what we do best and still ensure that we give our users a superior solution for integrating enterprise systems with any Internet application server that is certified with Compaq's Java(TM) Technology for OpenVMS Alpha. Attunity's focus on B2B solutions positions our customers even better to gain a competitive edge in this high-value market space."
