Sunnyvale, Calif. and Fremont, Calif. (September 5, 2006) - Solix Technologies,
Inc., a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions, and
Sierra Atlantic, a leader in business process-based integration and enterprise
application optimization, today announced a global partnership to provide the
industry's first and only active archiving solution that supports Oracle® Process
Manufacturing. Sierra Atlantic becomes a global systems integrator for Solix
Technologies, responsible for marketing and system integration of the Solix
ARCHIVEjinniTM unified platform active archiving solution.

Oracle Process Manufacturing is an end-to-end enterprise application that automates
the entire production cycle for process-based manufacturing. Examples of products
that are created using process manufacturing include: metals, pharmaceuticals,
chemicals, paint, food and beverages. Sierra Atlantic has been involved with Oracle
Process Manufacturing for several years. They are one of Oracle's leading
development partners and an Oracle Certified Partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
The company is a recognized industry leader in business and technology consulting
for process manufacturing applications, with more than 750 satisfied customers since
beginning operations in 1993.

"The expertise Sierra Atlantic has with Oracle Process Manufacturing applications
makes them a perfect partner for Solix," said Burt Salop, vice president of
worldwide ales and alliances, Solix Technologies. "Their installed base of Oracle
Process Manufacturing customers has a pent up need for archiving. As an industry
leader in process manufacturing applications, Sierra is the best choice to
successfully deliver our active archiving solution to Oracle Process Manufacturing
users."

Solix ARCHIVEjinni for Oracle Process Manufacturing is the first archiving solution
that addresses the intricacies of Oracle Process Manufacturing applications, such as
protecting secret recipes and formulations while simultaneously making them
available via a keyword search. This is achieved by using a unified platform that
can organize, manage, archive and search all types of data: structured (from
applications), semi-structured (email), and unstructured (documents and images). By
implementing Solix ARCHIVEjinni for Oracle Process Manufacturing, users can manage
their entire archiving process from a single application, making it easy to reduce
storage costs, improve application performance and comply with regulations.

\"The ability to easily and efficiently archive data in Oracle Process Manufacturing
applications has been critically lacking," said Brian P. Rogan, senior vice
president strategic business and marketing, Sierra Atlantic. "Process manufacturers
can have up to one hundred years of legacy data. This vast amount of data can
negatively impact system performance. By implementing active archiving, performance
is improved, storage costs are reduced and enterprises can more easily comply with
the stringent and complex regulations that they face in manufacturing
pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, chemicals and paint. It is no surprise that
Solix, known as an innovator in the ILM market, would be the first with an Oracle
Process Manufacturing archiving solution. As their partner, we can now offer our
customers a best-in-class active archiving solution."

Sierra Atlantic becomes the newest member of the Solix Global Partner Network. The
Solix Global Partner Network was established in 2005 to enable the company to
closely collaborate with partners in order to deliver a higher level of service and
an optimal approach to solving application and storage challenges. Other members
include: Wipro, DBORA, 3S Soft, Columbia Storage, IngenuitE, Millennium Information
Technologies, Path Infotech, Infomart and Bahwan Cybertek.

"The combined expertise of Solix Technologies and Sierra Atlantic will be of great
value to the process manufacturing industry as more and more companies are in need
of solutions to reduce storage costs, improve system performance and simplify
regulatory compliance," said Doug Souza, Vice President, Process Manufacturing
Development, Oracle. "For the first time, Oracle Process Manufacturing customers
will have access to archiving capabilities that will not only enable them to
increase productivity but will help improve the overall agility of their
businesses."
