Cisco CENS Partnership Proves a Success for Jyra.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 1999--

Jyra Research Inc (OTC BB:JYRA) announces that Cisco System's (NASDAQ:CSCO) professional services program, Cisco Enabled Network Solutions (CENS), is delivering new customer opportunities for Jyra.

Unibank, one of Scandinavia's largest banks, has purchased an initial Jyra performance monitoring solution.

The CENS program is a key component of Cisco's channel partner enablement strategy, ensuring that end-users have access to the support required to deploy emerging technologies, and to address complex network deployments. Through the use of Jyra in the CENS professional services program, Cisco customers gain a valuable service and resource view of their IT networks.

Jyra's incorporation within CENS as the service level analysis tool gives the customer the ability to provide network availability and resources in support of their strategic business goals. CENS partners can deliver this leading edge technology backed up by best services and practices. Having experienced the value Jyra brings, customers like Unibank, look towards making the Jyra solution a permanent feature by procuring their own system.

"Demand for network performance orientated services is expanding rapidly", said Richard Buchanan, Cisco CENS Product Manager, "...enterprise networking is about more than connectivity. Network stability and overall network performance are becoming decisive competitive metrics. They are visible to customers as they interact with an Enterprise's business process and create a critical first impression"

CENS is now available throughout Cisco's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) sales regions. Further information about CENS is available on Cisco's website; www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/cens.
