Monday October 27, 9:17 am ET
Global 2000 Customers and Partners Focus on Real Solutions, Real Results, Real Value
MIAMI, ASCENTIAL WORLD 2003, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ascential Software Corporation (Nasdaq: ASCL - News), the enterprise data integration leader, today kicked off Ascential World 2003. During welcoming remarks, Pete Fiore, the company's president, underscored the real solutions, real results, and real value Ascential Software delivers to its 3,000 customers and nearly 150 strategic, technology and systems integration partners worldwide. More than four hundred attendees representing fifteen countries and sixteen industries have gathered at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami, Fla.
"2003 has been a banner year for Ascential Software on many levels. We now are the largest independent software vendor of enterprise data integration solutions. Our momentum, measured by revenue growth, market share gains, and company visibility is accelerating. We attribute this to the value, ROI and focus we bring to bear," said Fiore. "Ascential Software customers and partners benefit from this leadership because it gives us the resources to deliver the most complete, innovative platform available for integrating transactional, operational, and analytical data, now and in the future."
To maintain technology leadership, Ascential Software has continued to expand research and development investment over the past twelve months and introduced new products with the Ascential(TM) Enterprise Integration Suite 7.0 and Ascential Real-Time Integration (RTI) Services. This groundbreaking platform leverages service-oriented architecture and Web Services for pervasive, on-demand data integration. Customers have embraced this release. More than five hundred have upgraded to the new suite since its general availability in September 2003.
The Business Imperative
Fiore shared Ascential Software's perspective that data integration is not only a technology issue. The growing market demand for enterprise data integration is actually driven by the requirement of organizations to accomplish business objectives - from lowering costs and increasing productivity, to enabling organizational transformation and delivering new products to market.
"Without a strong data integration solution, enterprise integration efforts will be expensive. Worse, they will fail to achieve business goals and objectives," stated Fiore. "Traditional approaches to integration have focused on business process and application connectivity but have failed to address the fundamental issues of ensuring the availability of coherent, consistent, and accurate data, available in the right format at the right time - regardless of data sources, data volumes, or latency. This is exactly the challenge that Ascential Software addresses and why we're the perfect complement to BPI, EAI, and EII technologies."

Wednesday October 29, 2:42 pm ET
Expands Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite; Customers Validate Technology Direction
MIAMI, ASCENTIAL WORLD 2003, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ascential Software Corporation (Nasdaq: ASCL - News) unveiled its strategic product development plans for the next 24 months to capitalize on emerging technologies, meet evolving enterprise data integration requirements and "future-proof" information technology investments. Customers and partners can expect 64-bit computing and expanded grid-enabled capabilities, continued innovations in support for service-oriented architecture, and new functionality for radio frequency identification (RFID), among others. Ascential Software also announced the general availability of Ascential DataStage TX(TM) and its incorporation into the Ascential(TM) Enterprise Integration Suite.
The company confirmed the value of and alignment between Ascential Software's plans and the enterprise integration requirements of customers and partners through a series of planning sessions and surveys. "The product direction that Ascential Software outlined maps directly to what the marketplace is telling us it needs in an enterprise-wide data integration environment," said Sandra Rogers, director, Web Services and Integration Software, IDC. "Ascential's strategy to partner and provide open technology based on industry standards that interface with other essential integration software is critical in today's evolving system and services-based architectural landscape."
Timely access to accurate corporate data is critical in today's business environment. Complete, integrated data gives business the visibility to make strategic decisions today and insight for the future. Bob Zurek, Ascential Software vice president of advanced technologies and product management, underscored the significance of today's announcement by pointing out that integrating applications and business processes requires a data integration platform that functions across the full spectrum of current and future transactional, operational, and analytical application environments.
"Customers want a complete enterprise data integration platform to support strategic business requirements. Ascential Software is the only complete solution that satisfies all enterprise integration requirements, enabling our customers to meet challenges and create business opportunities," said Zurek. "We are committed to delivering exceptional return on investment by focusing exclusively on data integration, taking an active role in standards bodies, investing in research and development, and closely collaborating with our customers and partners."
Product Roadmap
Ascential Software unveiled three strategic product initiatives, code- named Trinity, Hawk, and Rhapsody. The results of these development projects are anticipated to be in the market as soon as the first half of 2004. These product releases will expand Ascential Software's leadership in providing enterprise solutions designed to enable customers to build an integrated view of data for more effective business analytics and decision support, enable the interoperability of multiple applications for a higher level of customer service and operational performance, and reduce the number of data sources that IT personnel need to understand in order to develop new applications. Further, the product releases are designed to improve development efficiencies, dramatically reduce the complexity of integrating new and legacy systems and help manage the exponential growth of data to meet user requirements for immediate access to information.

For example, one of our clients, Verizon Communications, has a large data warehouse and the company wants to introduce real-time capabilities in that environment. We're looking for partners like Ascential Software that can get us there."
Introducing Ascential DataStage TX
Ascential DataStage TX, formerly Mercator Inside Integrator, transforms and routes data in transactional application environments and business processes such as consumer portals, business-to-business exchanges, and trading partner networks.

Tuesday November 25, 11:00 am ET
International Standards Consortium Welcomes Enterprise Data Integration Software Provider
WESTBORO, Mass., Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ascential Software Corporation (Nasdaq: ASCL - News), the enterprise data integration leader, today joined OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), an international consortium advancing e-business standards for Web services and other technologies. Ascential Software will leverage its deep experience in enterprise data integration to help shape OASIS Standards with an emphasis on the unique challenges of data profiling, quality and transformation.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Ascential Software's strength in enterprise data integration complements the application integration expertise of other OASIS members," said Patrick Gannon, president and CEO of OASIS. "We expect Ascential Software's participation in our standards development processes will enhance the value of its products within its customers' service-oriented architectures (SOAs)."
OASIS produces worldwide standards, including ebXML, UDDI, WS-Security, and SAML. Ascential Software today underscored its decision to join OASIS by reaffirming its commitment to these and other IT, business and vertical industry standards.
"Connecting systems within the enterprise as well as with suppliers, partners and customers is paramount for today's enterprise," said Ron Schmelzer, senior analyst at ZapThink, an IT market intelligence firm that provides advice and insight into XML, Web services, and Service Orientation. "Web services offer a new approach to solving integration challenges by leveraging the widespread adoption of standards for system-to-system communication. Ascential Software is taking full advantage of this trend and leads the market in delivering service-based solutions. The company, a 2003 ZapThought Leader, has transformed enterprise data integration by extending its data profiling, quality and transformation capabilities to Web services and SOAs."
OASIS is one of many standards bodies in which Ascential Software participates. Others include the Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I), the Global Grid Forum and RosettaNet.
WS-I is an open industry organization committed to promoting interoperability among Web services based on common, industry-accepted specifications and related technologies such as XML, SOAP and others. WS-I helps organizations implement standards across the broadest range of interoperability needs.
In May, Ascential Software became the first enterprise data integration software provider to join the Global Grid Forum (GGF). GGF is an industry forum created to advance grid computing, which has the potential to lower costs and boost the efficiency of computing networks by expanding resources, allocating processing power wherever it is needed, anywhere in the world, increasing storage capacity and enhancing data exchange. Ascential Software is applying its expertise in parallel computing and enterprise data integration to help formulate standards that ensure the creation of scalable, high- throughput commercial computing grids.
RosettaNet is a non-profit consortium of more than 400 of the world's leading information technology, electronic components, semiconductor manufacturing and solution provider companies working to create, implement and promote open e-business process standards.
"There are two very good reasons for embracing standards and, when appropriate, leading their development," said David Smiley, Ascential Software product manager for standards, open source technologies and operating system strategies. "One, our customers are demanding open systems to preserve their independence from proprietary solutions so they can make purchase decisions based chiefly on the merits of the software. And two, using standard application interfaces enables us to focus on our core competency -- enterprise data integration -- rather than customizing integrations with other products. Standards benefit both customers and vendors, and our commitment to them is stronger than ever."

Monday January 5, 9:00 am ET
Ascential Software is Only Enterprise Data Integration Vendor Named in Definitive ZapThink Report
WESTBORO, Mass., Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ascential Software Corporation (Nasdaq: ASCL - News), the enterprise data integration leader, is featured in a new report focused on the future of XML, Web services and service-oriented architectures (SOAs).
Ascential Software is the only enterprise data integration vendor listed in the report, "Service Orientation Market Trends: Predicting the Future of XML & Web Services," by leading technology analyst ZapThink, LLC. The study was published in late December 2003 and highlights Ascential Software as an established "incumbent" vendor with Web services/service orientation capabilities throughout its product line.
"Ascential Software is occupying a prominent place in the Service Orientation market, a market where its customers are clearly headed," said Ron Schmelzer, senior analyst, ZapThink. "The total SOA implementation framework market opportunity will go from $4.4 billion in 2005 to $43 billion by 2010. The Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite(TM) 7.0 and Ascential Real-Time Integration Services(TM) (RTI Services) are well positioned in that market, elegantly extending the reach of Ascential Software's powerful data profiling, data quality, data transformation, parallel processing, meta data and connectivity solutions to organizations' service-oriented architectures -- a critical need in today's enterprise for realizing the potential of Web services."
The report defines Web services as standards-based interfaces to software functionality. Service orientation is an approach to distributed computing where software functionality is available as discoverable Web services on the network.
In the report, ZapThink identifies Ascential Software as an incumbent in the emerging Service Orientation (SO) information integration segment, projected to rise as high as $4.7 billion in 2010, and the SO application integration segment, projected to rise as high as $7.9 billion by 2010. The coverage reinforces Ascential Software's leadership in the market, recognized in September when ZapThink named Ascential Software a "ZapThought Leader" for helping customers understand how to use XML, Web services and SOAs to build agile, cost-effective architectures.
"This report is a very detailed, objective discussion of the Web services and service-oriented architecture market. Enterprise architects and other IT professionals who are implementing or considering using Web services or deploying a service-oriented architecture will find this report very instructive," said Bob Zurek, vice president of advanced technologies and product management at Ascential Software. "ZapThink's report takes what has been one of the information technology industry's most complex markets and makes virtually perfect sense of it with credible predictions. It also places Ascential Software in its proper context as the only enterprise data integration vendor that has made a meaningful contribution to the SOA state of the art."
In addition to supplying SOA-enabled technology, Ascential Software participates in several Web services standards bodies, including:
* OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), an international consortium advancing e-business standards for Web services and other technologies; and
* WS-I, an open industry organization committed to promoting interoperability among Web services based on common, industry-accepted specifications and related technologies such as XML, SOAP and others.
