Press Release Body = Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, June 20, 2006: Software AG, a
global leader in business infrastructure software, today announced that the
Washington State Department of Information Systems has chosen its Event Replicator
for Adabas in support of the Labor and Industries agency (L&I). This agency is
responsible for worker’s compensation in the state of Washington.

L&I plans to use Event Replicator to replicate Adabas data in real time to an
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The agency expects to see a significant reduction in
CPU usage over their current data replication approach, resulting in substantial
cost savings. Additionally, L&I may use Event Replicator in the future to populate
an SQL Server database with mainframe Adabas data for business intelligence
purposes.

“We are very pleased that the Washington State Department of Information Systems has
selected Event Replicator for Adabas,” said Joe Gentry, CTO of Enterprise
Transaction Systems, Software AG. “Our long-term customers such as the State of
Washington have told us that real-time access to Adabas data is a top priority. We
look forward to working with Washington State to implement this important capability
that will provide cost savings as well as improved information access in support of
L&I’s mission.”
