Satyam Becomes First JBoss Certified System Integrator in India; Partnership to Offer Application Development and Maintenance Supporting Leading Open Source Middleware Platform.

ATLANTA and HYDERABAD -- JBoss(R), Inc., the Professional Open Source Company, and Satyam Computer Services Limited, a global consulting and IT services provider, today announced a preferred partnership in which Satyam becomes JBoss' first certified Indian system integrator (SI). As a certified SI, Satyam will offer application development to enterprises building and deploying solutions on the JBoss Enterprise Middleware System (JEMS(TM)), an open source application platform that includes the JBoss Application Server, Hibernate, JBoss Portal and the JBoss jBPM workflow engine.

Through JEMS, JBoss is making high quality middleware such as application server, workflow and portal technology easily accessible to the mass market at zero-cost software licenses. The JEMS platform features a plug-and-play architecture with entirely open and standards-based products, so customers can use all or any pieces of the stack. This brings greater flexibility and technology choice to end users, providing an alternative to today's pricey, monolithic proprietary platforms.

Mr. Manish Mehta, Director and Senior Vice-President, Business Unit Head SAP, ADMS, Satyam, commented, "Satyam has been a pioneer in adopting new technologies that help us deliver significant business value for customers. We have once again demonstrated this by becoming the first India based SI to partner with JBoss. We will leverage this partnership to help our customers build robust solutions with significant reduction in TCO and to strengthen our leadership in the open source technology."

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. G S Raju, Senior Vice President, Practice Head ADMS, Satyam, said, "Satyam is known for its structured methodologies and virtual development techniques which ensure that software innovations are quickly, smoothly and fully integrated. Through this synergy we will be able to build and maintain high value yet cost-effective solutions based on the JBoss platform and see increased business opportunities for both partners in the J2EE open source world."

Tom Cooper, Vice President of Worldwide Channels, JBoss, Inc. commented, "As the JBoss ecosystem continues to grow globally, so will the need for providing worldwide support, consulting and services for our JEMS products. With its global infrastructure and significant existing base in Asia, Satyam will help propel adoption of enterprise open source in rapidly growing markets."

Further, through this partnership Satyam will be able to accelerate development/certification of J2EE applications in the open source world. With this relationship, Satyam will be fully equipped to provide latest technologies and architectures based on JBoss products and contribute in increasing the business value for customers. Additionally, a large number of companies are expected to migrate applications from existing application servers to JBoss, resulting in significant cost savings.

In addition to consulting, integration and migration services, Satyam will advise customers in the use of JBoss subscription support services for the JEMS platform. The JBoss Subscription includes services and tools to assist companies at every stage of the application lifecycle--from design and development to testing and deployment to ongoing management and monitoring of enterprise application deployments. This includes indemnification and access to the JBoss Network(TM), a one-stop support portal with application management and software patch distribution.

Subramaniam Satyamoorthy, Director of Operations and Services, JBoss India, noted, "Having one of the top Indian system integrators as a certified JBoss partner will be critical to driving further adoption of the JEMS platform. We look forward to working closely with Satyam to make JEMS the platform of choice for companies looking to lower IT costs without compromising on quality or performance."
