CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2003

Synygy Inc., provider of software and services for creating performance-driven organizations, today announced the availability of version 10.6 of its Synygy Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM) software with expanded functionality to run on additional platforms.

Version 10.6 is the seventh in a series of planned monthly releases of Synygy's 100% web-based EIM product fully compliant with Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) standard. All aspects of the software are completely web-based, so the process of maintaining and upgrading the product has been dramatically simplified. This enables clients to quickly and easily take advantage of new features. With daily builds, fully automated testing procedures, and a fine-tuned development process, clients can be assured of the highest possible quality.

Among many new features is support for UNIX-based server platforms, support for the Oracle database management system, an improved user interface, enhanced functionality for maintaining data and organizational hierarchies, improved job alerts and notifications, even easier plan modeling, and complete integration with other Synygy products.

"Synygy was a pioneer in moving its EIM software to the J2EE architecture, and today's announcement accelerates our technological lead in this market," said Mark A. Stiffler, president and CEO of Synygy. "Some of our competitors try to hide their old client-server architecture with a browser-like interface written in Java. But the costs and risks associated with selecting old client-server technology or unproven web-based software are high, and savvy clients see the benefits of Synygy's experience deploying web-based software over the past year."

Using a proprietary multi-threaded, multi-processor, multi-server computing architecture, the 100% web-based version of Synygy EIM has been implemented and proven to be highly scaleable for organizations with over 100,000 plan participants and over 100 million data transactions per month.
