Industry: Software

Press Release Summary: Dubai, 21 August 2007- SNS, a leading supply chain services
provider, in partnership with Boomi, is proud to announce that it has signed a
contract for the implementation of a full business-to-business integration solution
for Alliance Boots, a leading pharmacy-led health and beauty group in Europe.

Press Release Body: The Alliance Boots health and beauty group comprises:
. approximately 3,000 retail outlets (including associates) - of which approximately
2,700 have a pharmacy
. a wholesale network of over 380 depots (including associates) serving over 125,000
outlets.

With a project of this size and the number of different applications to be
integrated, the choice of the integration layer application becomes critical.
Alliance Boots has opted for the use of Boomi Visual Integration Platform to ensure
the synchronisation and data integrity of the different databases of their
applications: CRM, ERP, WMS, TMS. The integration solution will be deployed at all
sites starting with the France offices as a first go-live.

Boomi improves the efficiency and effectiveness of different size businesses by
enabling B2B, application and data integration in one easy-to-deploy, simple-to-use
product. Boomi's integration projects are up and running in weeks, not months, and
do not require highly technical programming resources.

SNS has proven over the last few years its competency in different integration
projects around the Gulf and Middle-East and was also highly involved in several
projects in Europe using, among others, the Boomi integration tool. Its highly
professional and experienced technical consultants and its numerous achievements on
various engagements have incited Boomi to choose SNS as a partner on this strategic
project.

"SNS has been reselling our product for sometime now and handling the design and
implementation of integration interfaces at clients' site," said Mr. Bob Moul, CEO
of Boomi Inc. "Their success record has pushed us in requiring their services and
expertise on this project."

"We are proud to sign this project along side Boomi with Alliance Boots" said Mario
Ghosn, General Manager of SNS. "Integration projects are always critical and require
a lot of effort and I know our technical consultants will rise to the challenge."
