Corizon and Systemation sign distributor agreement for Benelux countries to help companies exploit existing IT assets and simplify end-user experiences of IT

London, UK, 1 October 2007 - UK software company Corizon today announced that IT solutions provider Systemation has signed an agreement to distribute its products in the Benelux region. The agreement further strengthens Corizon´s presence in mainland Europe as it continues its international expansion. Corizon is the first software company to develop technology to "mash-up" enterprise-class composite applications. Its software has been proven to provide rapid return on investment in deployments at leading blue-chip organisations. A Corizon-powered project at British Telecom was earlier this year awarded a prestigious Effective IT Award by Information Age for what the judges called a "genuinely technically advanced project".

Systemation will be using the Corizon Platform to help organisations modernise and simplify their IT architecture, processes, applications and infrastructure. The platform will be deployed in situations where end users of IT have to access a number of different software applications to do their jobs and end up switching from one to the other. This includes instances where legacy systems collide with new web applications - the more complex the environments the better. Often, this will mean contact centre environments, especially those in the telco, finance, energy and travel sectors. Systemation decided to partner with Corizon following a rigorous selection procedure which included roadtesting the software with key customers who were likely to make a purchase at a later stage. The customers provided some very positive feedback and a number have already expressed an interest in rolling out full projects.

David Hakkenberg, Managing Director, Systemation said:

"Our state-of-the-art solutions are based on products of leading international vendors and are characterised by flexibility, ease of use and last, but not least, a maximum return on investment. We´re convinced that this will apply to solutions we build using Corizon´s software. To have seen such early interest from customers is the best endorsement possible and we look forward to bringing the benefits of Corizon to existing and new customers."

Eric Guilloteau, CEO, Corizon, said:

"Systemation is a very attractive partner for us - they have a huge amount of expertise in SOA, a proven ability to bring new technologies to market and a well established network of local system integrators. We see the Benelux region as an important market for us as we further extend our influence in mainland Europe, and the partnership with Systemation is a key part of our plans."
