Press Release Body: AppLabs today announced it has signed a strategic partnership
agreement with KnowledgeCore, an enterprise software solution company to support
organizations in their implementation of Service-Orientated Architecture (SOA).

AppLabs and KnowledgeCore have developed a unique solution for the banking,
financial services and insurance industries to help plan, prepare and implement high
quality SOA developments and applications.

SOA is a significant development in uniting Business and IT. According to leading
analysts, this approach will be used in more than half of new mission-critical
operational applications and business processes designed in the next 12 months.

"The adoption of SOA is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Our partnership with
KnowledgeCore will allow us to deliver a comprehensive quality management and
testing solution with a real time dashboard. With SOA, organizations must get it
right first time and therefore all stakeholders (Business and IT) need access to
decision-making information instantly," said Gary Davies, Vice President of
Strategic Alliances, AppLabs.

David Sudworth, Marketing Director, KnowledgeCore, commented: "The nature of SOA
implementation is extremely complex and traditional approaches to testing are
insufficient. By partnering with AppLabs, we are able to provide a service that
guarantees quality and testing is given the attention it deserves to ensure our
clients effectively meet their business objectives."
