GRIDNODE'S GRIDTALK INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS POWERED BY IBM

At IBM Forum 2003, GridNode, a leading provider of extended enterprise businessware, announced support for IBM WebSphere Platform with the robust, enterprise-class operations of GridTalk Integration Solutions. The combination of GridTalk (the first integration software worldwide to be granted a RosettaNet Ready Badge Designation), and WebSphere (recently named by a top analyst firm as the best-selling Web application platform) creates a platform for extending complex enterprise applications across enterprises with levels of performance, openness and cost-effectiveness unmatched by competitors.

"Companies like GridNode provide customers with leading-edge e-business integration solutions to deliver greater business benefit," said Bee-Kim Teow, Country Manager, WebSphere, IBM Singapore. "The enablement of GridTalk Integration Solutions on WebSphere Application Platform will provide companies with the flexibility and robustness to help extend the enterprise and maximize return on investment. GridTalk is a welcome addition to the e-business integration solution suite available for our customers who are deploying on open platforms."

GridNode is expanding its GridTalk Integration Solutions to cover five major industries: high-tech electronics, logistics, chemical and energy, retail and automotive. The solutions will help companies in these industries integrate different areas of their business and those of their customers and trading partners -- automating the flow of information and the processing of transactions across an entire value chain and transforming their businesses to become more agile and responsive.

"By validating GridTalk with the IBM WebSphere Application Platform, we can better serve our customers' needs going forward," said Chee-Tong Leow, Managing Director of GridNode. "In teaming with IBM, we are able to provide our customers with world-class enterprise e-business applications deployed on a widely adopted, world-class infrastructure environment. By implementing integration projects with GridTalk on WebSphere, customers will receive one of the industry's best combinations for price and capability."
