Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2004

Intalio, Inc., the Business Process Management company, today announced the appointment of Sal Gentile as vice president of sales and Jon Sofield as vice president of strategic alliances. The appointments strengthen the company's ability to drive sales and establish the key partnerships that will increase global market share of its enterprise-class, standards-based and platform-neutral Business Process Management System (BPMS), Intalio/n3.

Intalio is increasingly competing as an enterprise vendor against larger application platform and integration companies, and succeeding in its efforts. Both Gentile and Sofield come to Intalio with many years of sales experience that will help Intalio supercharge its growing momentum in the enterprise space.

"With Gentile and Sofield, we have two proven, seasoned industry veterans with excellent track records driving our worldwide sales and strategic alliance efforts," said Tom Meyer, chairman and CEO of Intalio. "Their experience and accomplishments reflect and align with our mission to consistently deliver cost-effective BPMS solutions that fundamentally improve the way enterprises do business."

Gentile brings more than 20 years of transaction-focused experience in sales and marketing management to Intalio. Most recently, Gentile was vice president of sales and marketing at Diogenes Inc., a provider of next-generation transactional messaging software, where he established and exceeded a multi-million dollar revenue plan. Gentile previously held senior executive positions at Vis.align, New Era of Networks, Inc. (NEON), and IBM, where he established his remarkable track record of consistently exceeding sales targets.

Sofield comes to Intalio after six years at Commerce One, where he was vice president of strategic sales, focusing on the company's Web Services platform, Conductor. He established Commerce One Conductor as a leading eBusiness platform throughout Europe, while forming key strategic alliances to help drive platform sales. Prior to Commerce One, Sofield held senior executive positions at TDS Internet and Metaphor. He began his sales career in 1987 with ICL in the UK.

According to Sofield, Intalio/n3 represents an unparalleled opportunity for Intalio business partners. "Intalio is a progressive company, backed by a solid strategy and a BPMS solution with a proven track record of success -- Intalio/n3. Our partners know that Intalio is delivering the BPMS that other companies are only talking about in PowerPoint presentations. I've studied the other BPM solutions extensively. I've even competed directly against Intalio in the past. Intalio/n3 is the industry's premiere BPMS."

Added Gentile, "Intalio is a forward-thinking organization that is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and ability to successfully compete in the enterprise market against larger companies. For example, transactional capabilities are mandatory for BPM solutions to deliver true enterprise value, and Intalio is the only BPM vendor that can manage end-to-end transactions for coordinated, extended, and compensating transactions. I look forward to building on the company's already successful sales efforts bringing Intalio/n3 to enterprises that need to manage their business processes more efficiently, while reducing development costs."

About Intalio/n3

Initially released in February 2002, Intalio/n3 is a trailblazing enterprise-class Business Process Management System (BPMS). It is the first standards-based, platform-neutral BPMS to support the design, deployment, execution, maintenance, and optimization of business processes that involve distributed transactions with packaged applications, databases, and heritage systems. Heralding a process-oriented architecture, Intalio/n3 leverages organizations' existing IT assets and infrastructure, bridging the gap between business users and software engineers. Intalio/n3 enables both groups to collaborate on the same underlying model, resulting in processes that are executable on the company's existing infrastructure. Organizations now have the power to completely and seamlessly manage the entire life cycle of their business processes -- from design to execution to optimization.

In December 2003, Intalio launched Intalio/n3 2.5, which added Page Designer, a WYSIWYG editor for the development of rich Web-based end-user interfaces providing 100% code coverage; integration of Systinet's Web Services platform; integration of Corticon's business rule engine (BRE); and a new and highly customizable user interface to enhance the productivity of business analysts.
