TORONTO AND NEW YORK - March 29, 2006 - Longview Solutions, a leading developer of performance management software, and Information Builders, the enterprise business intelligence (BI) standard of choice for organizations around the world, today announced a strategic partnership that will deliver a complete performance management solution. As a result of this alliance, enterprises will be able to leverage WebFOCUS, Information Builders' leading BI solution, and Khalix, Longview Solutions' suite of performance management software, to deliver a fully integrated financial/enterprise BI solution. This joint solution will provide analytics, metrics, graphs, KPI indicators, and feedback functions for all business performance management initiatives.

Visibility and transparency of an enterprise's performance indicators are an integral aspect to the success of an organization. It is critical for employees to be on the same page, speaking the same language with a common understanding of the problems and the solutions available. The joint Information Builders and Longview Solutions application provides financially accurate information in a true, secure, and easy-to-use format across the enterprise.

"The strategic alliance between Information Builders and Longview Solutions is an exciting development for both companies," said Mark Burton, president and CEO of Longview Solutions. "By joining our two market-leading technologies, we further our vision of 'driving enterprise performance - fast' with this best-in-class solution."

Additionally, Longview Solutions has contracted Information Builders' subsidiary, iWay Software, to build an application adapter for their Khalix solution, enabling unparalleled interoperability with all other applications across the enterprise. Longview Solutions will also resell the complete suite of iWay SOA Middleware products.

"As the marriage of business intelligence and performance management continues to become a critical need for organizations, it is crucial to have a solution that achieves the speed, visibility, and financial integrity that enable an enterprise to remain effective," said Gerald Cohen, CEO of Information Builders. "By partnering with Longview Solutions, we are ensuring that customers are receiving a top-notch performance management solution that not only meets their needs, but also integrates seamlessly across their organization."
