BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2004

Signiant Inc. and GTSI(R) Corp, a leading government technology solutions provider, today announced a partnership in which GTSI will sell Signiant's Mobilize(TM) remote data solutions to its government customers. Mobilize enables government agencies and companies to centrally control and securely move remote data between central and remote (core and edge) systems.

"Moving and controlling data remotely is an increasing area of necessity for Federal, state and local government agencies," said Steve Deutsch, GTSI business operations manager for Emerging Growth Technologies. "With multiple locations, it is more efficient for agencies to manage data securely from one central location. We believe that Mobilize offers our government customers a real option for managing remote data that meets security, automation, and cost reduction requirements."

Using Mobilize, government agencies can reliably and securely control and move their most critical business information for applications such as:

-- consolidating backup processes to eliminate many individual

backups of remote systems;

-- centralizing information archival to ensure uniform document

retention and better remote site storage utilization;

-- automating distribution of information to branch locations;

-- moving data to a distant remote site for enhanced disaster

recovery protection;

-- implementing remote information lifecycle management (ILM).

"Gaining central control over remote data is an IT hot spot due to budget pressures, IT consolidation, and security issues," said Robert Browne, vice president of business development for Signiant Inc. "The enterprise-level capabilities of Mobilize make it a compelling solution for the government, and GTSI, with its reach and relationships, is an ideal partner to help us deliver Mobilize solutions to this market."

Mobilize is a policy-based, end-to-end automation solution that dramatically reduces the cost of controlling and moving data among distributed UNIX, Linux and Windows systems. Its unique architecture is highly secure and reliable, and can scale to networks with thousands of nodes, while at the same time eliminating the need for IT administration at each site. Mobilize was designed for easy integration into existing infrastructure and processes to provide guaranteed, certified delivery of information.
