Press Release - October 24th, 2006 - Calgary, AB & Iselin, NJ

CipherSoft Inc. and EnterpriseDB form global alliance

CipherSoft Inc., a global leader in software conversion tools and services based in Calgary, Alberta, and EnterpriseDB, the world’s leading enterprise open source database company today announced the formation of a global alliance to provide enterprises using Oracle Forms-based applications with enterprise-class, cost-effective database solutions. CipherSoft’s Exodus™ product converts Oracle Forms-based database applications to J2EE-based database applications, which are significantly less expensive to administer, maintain, and enhance. The translated J2EE database applications can then be run on EnterpriseDB Advanced Server rather than on Oracle, resulting in even greater cost savings.

Exodus™, CipherSoft’s flagship product, is an innovative conversion tool that automates the migration of Oracle Forms and PL/SQL to Java, including Oracle Menus, Libraries, Triggers and all semantic content. By streamlining the process of conversion, Exodus significantly reduces the costs associated with manually converting legacy software. The converted application keeps its original look-and-feel, and is fully maintainable and portable, providing flexible deployment and database independence with very little impact on business operations. J2EE-based database applications generally cost less to administer, maintain, and enhance than Oracle Forms-based applications.

EnterpriseDB Advanced Server, EnterpriseDB’s flagship product, is an enterprise-class relational database management system (RDBMS) that is based on PostgreSQL, the world’s most advanced open source database. EnterpriseDB Advanced Server runs most applications written for Oracle databases without change to the applications’ code. This eliminates the costly, time-consuming, and risky re-coding that is typically required to move an application from Oracle to any other database. EnterpriseDB can also lower Oracle users’ database TCO by up to 90%.

“We are very excited about our partnership with EnterpriseDB said Jennifer McNeill, President and CEO of CipherSoft Inc. “Bringing a sophisticated migration solution to the global marketplace is a key focus for CipherSoft.”

Our partnership with CipherSoft will make EnterpriseDB available to the sizeable community of enterprises running Oracle Forms applications” said Bill Mason, Vice President of Business Development, EnterpriseDB. “These enterprises can reduce their database TCO by maintaining Java applications rather than maintaining Oracle Forms applications, and then reduce their TCO further by running EnterpriseDB rather than Oracle databases. The resulting aggregate cost savings can be quite dramatic.”
