MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2000

Cerulean Technology today announced the promotion of Mike Mancuso to president and chief operating officer (COO). Mancuso will oversee all of Cerulean's day-to-day operations, and will report to Bob Badavas, Cerulean's chief executive officer (CEO).

"As a result of our rapid growth, we've reached a point where we must make strategic operational moves to maintain the highest standards as we grow," Badavas said. "When we brought Mike on board last December, we planned for him to take on a senior operational role in the company, so that I could focus on Cerulean's long-term growth. With Mike's seasoning, experience and astute understanding of how to grow best-in-class companies, he is the perfect choice for the job. For the community of Cerulean employees, customers and partners who are fueling our growth, this move underscores our commitment to be the best public sector information company for wireless and Internet environments."

Mancuso joined Cerulean in December 1999 as executive vice president, worldwide sales and support after nearly 20 years of general management, sales and service experience in the technology industry. Previously, he served as vice president of U.S. sales and services at the Data General division of EMC Corporation and was a general manager within Hewlett Packard's healthcare information division.

"In the second half of the 1990s, Cerulean helped shape the future of the wireless data industry," Mancuso said. "Now, Cerulean is gearing up to expand the boundaries of how wireless technology can positively impact government and society. The technology innovation we are bringing to market will bridge the worlds of wireless, the Web and the new "digital government."

As Bob drives this long-term strategy, we will ensure that the resulting Cerulean products and services meet the highest standards of quality, timeliness and innovation our customers expect."

Added Badavas, "With Mike on board, I've already begun to focus more of my time on longer term strategic matters. The opportunity ahead of us is boundless. The core strengths of our company, which are hallmarked by a very talented group of employees and senior management, will permit Mike and me to deliver on our ambitious goals."
