Press Release

ORLANDO, Fla., January 28, 2002 - DYS Analytics, Inc., the leader in enterprise traffic management solutions and an IBM business partner, today announced Email CONTROL! 4.0 for Lotus Notes and Domino based on DYS's next-generation CONTROL! architecture. The new release enhances the company's solutions for reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Domino and managing messaging service levels.

Enhancements in Email CONTROL! 4.0 include more powerful and flexible reporting and fully automated data collection, analysis and report distribution. Backed by the new features in Email CONTROL! 4.0, large globally distributed organizations can easily set up Email CONTROL! 4.0 to provide automated, hands-off analysis and reporting on email traffic. With this information, IT organizations can optimize their email networks to lower costs and improve service levels. Email CONTROL! 4.0 is on display this week at Lotusphere 2002 in the DYS Analytics booth #622-623.

As organizations focus on reducing their Domino TCO, they are looking for ways to optimize the utilization of their current network environment. As a result, they are engaging in strategic cost-reduction initiatives such as consolidation of servers and data centers. Email CONTROL! 4.0 provides the critical intelligence needed to effectively plan and execute these projects and then monitor their networks on an on-going basis.
