Seapine Software Experiences Record Growth in 2006



    Seapine Software, Inc., a global provider of quality-centric
    application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions, today announced that
    it continues to experience strong revenue performance and its eleventh
    year of annual license growth. With sales growing faster than the
    market rate for ALM vendors, Seapine added over one thousand new
    companies as customers of its award-winning software configuration
    management, defect tracking, and automated software testing solutions.

    Seapine's record growth in 2006 was driven by increased worldwide
    adoption of the company's TestTrack(R) Pro, Surround SCM(R), and QA
    Wizard(R) solutions by leading organizations such as Logitech,
    Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Siemens, and the National Institutes of
    Health. Seapine's outstanding showing was accelerated by the release
    of two new products in the fourth quarter--TestTrack(R) TCM for test
    case planning and tracking, and TestTrack(R) Studio for complete
    management of development processes, issues, and quality.

    "Companies understand that developing software, either for
    internal use, as packaged software, or imbedded software in devices,
    has become a critical core competency that presents an opportunity for
    process improvement, cost savings, and risk mitigation," said Richard
    Riccetti, president and CEO, Seapine Software. "Using our tools in the
    software development process allows development and IT departments to
    create better software faster, with a high degree of confidence in the
    quality of the application."

    According to Tom Carozza, director of strategy, Seapine Software,
    "The consistent growth that Seapine experienced in 2006 is a clear
    demonstration that major, global organizations recognize the value of
    effective software development practices and they are choosing
    Seapine's quality-centric ALM tools to manage change and improve
    processes and quality in their software development activities."

    Global organizations are successfully using Seapine's tools to:

    -- Provide real-time, secure access to source code files and
    issues while enabling parallel development, facilitating team
    communication, managing processes and tools used to create
    repeatable builds, and ensuring configuration changes are
    tracked.

    -- Track and prioritize tasks, issues, and work items while
    streamlining communications and meeting critical compliance
    and policy requirements, such as Sarbanes-Oxley.

    -- Automate functional and regression testing while tracking
    development-related defects and controlling changes to test
    scripts.

    All of Seapine's ALM products generate metrics-rich, customizable
    management reports and enable compliance with internal and external
    management controls. Seapine's tools enable a variety of popular
    software development methodologies and help managers implement and
    enforce industry-recognized software engineering best practices.
