Press Release

WELLESLEY, MA April 26, 2005 - DYS Analytics, Inc., a leader in application performance management for messaging and collaboration applications, announced five focused services engagements called CONTROL! OnDemand. These industry-first services provides IT staff with immediate answers to security and license compliance questions and extensive reports on application use profiling, email health and consolidation assessments. By delivering fast insight on recent email and distributed application use, OnDemand helps IT staffs act swiftly to "Efficiencize" their networks for best performance, uncover waste, document suspect usage, cost-justify expenditures and validate proposed major projects.

This initial set of CONTROL! OnDemand services are available today for IBM Lotus Domino and related IBM collaboration applications. Additional OnDemand services are planned for other environments later this year. OnDemand services are priced per offering at $400 per server and sold directly by DYS Analytics.

IT departments continually balance ad-hoc needs with longer-term projects and goals. Issues that threaten daily operating efficiency - such as unexplained email spikes - or threaten the whole organization - such as security violations - take priority. Addressing the issues of the moment can take enormous time and subtract from time required to validate and refine longer-term projects that help build the business.

CONTROL! OnDemand makes it easier and faster for IT staffs to accurately complete these immediate tasks while also providing objective analysis validating proposed longer term projects. Based on the award-winning DYS CONTROL! software for enterprise-wide application performance management, CONTROL! OnDemand aggregates gigabytes of data buried deep in transactional log files, correlates these records with the user directory to display actionable reports. With this new insight, IT staffs can immediately react, implement fixes, prove or disprove suspicions, or quickly validate the benefits that an involved project - such as a server consolidation or application cleanup - will deliver.

Focused Answers Based On Your Own Usage Data
"By using DYS, we tapped into our own usage data to test our assumptions with a planned server consolidation. We were surprised and pleased to learn while our WAN costs would substantially increase, our server savings were even higher than estimated, and more than justified our plan," said a major financial services organization using IBM Lotus Domino. "So we proceeded, now able to quantifiably demonstrate to management that our plan was solid and a wise investment."

"IT teams need objective data to demonstrate that their conclusions are sound, both with large projects and everyday tactical matters," said Matt Cain, vice president, high performance workplace service, at Gartner. "Such data sometimes isn't readily available, or takes so much time to find that IT departments give up and skip important validation steps. Services that provide these concrete data-points can be valuable in quickly resolving daily operational issues and accurately scoping major project benefits."

CONTROL! OnDemand Services
Current OnDemand offerings include:

• Email Health Check - identify email performance issues, misconfigurations and misuse
• Security Audit - examine suspect email or application use
• Consolidation Assurance - validate a proposed server consolidation
• Application Inventory - ensure optimized application deployment
• License Compliance - review license utilization and possible license reassignment

CONTROL! OnDemand uses a small downloadable utility installed on one Domino server in the Customer's network. This utility gathers requisite information for upload to DYS. Within hours, DYS Staff uses this data to populate secure Web portals tailored for each customer's needs.

Should IT staffs need analysis and assistance beyond the scale of OnDemand, DYS also provides in-depth customized professional services to facilitate major strategic projects, such as a server consolidation, application cleanup or SLA creation. Should staffs need continual analysis, many organizations, large and small, choose to license CONTROL! software. DYS Analytics uniquely spans the range of collaboration management needs, from ad-hoc tactical information for a specific task to larger project assistance to perpetual on-premises software.

"IT staffs often need to address smaller yet pressing collaboration management issues, and can't wait to purchase and install software or launch a formal professional service engagement," said Stefan Mehlhorn, CEO of DYS Analytics. "CONTROL! OnDemand provides a cost-effective, yet powerful way for IT to quickly isolate problems, document misuse and confirm project viability - leaving more time to work on longer-term, revenue-generating projects."
