at the FLAME conference to preview Allegro 8.0, and see the newest,
most innovative software release to date.

Allegro 8.0 highlights include:

-- Grid computing -- Allegro 8.0 reaps the benefits of grid
computing by enabling all users to view real-time valuation,
scheduling, settlement data, and more. Businesses can easily
scale processing capabilities to match growing portfolios. End
of day and batch processes have become obsolete with grid
computing as valuations are performed in real-time on a
continuous basis.

-- Interactive Transaction Environment ("ITE") - The ITE enables
traders and marketers to view existing positions while
simulating, optimizing, and executing transactions within
Allegro to electronic exchanges. The Allegro ITE allows
traders to quickly test and leverage their intuition utilizing
on-demand optimization and simulation engines to live markets.

-- Platform for Standard Integration Components - Customers
benefit from a platform for standard integration components
into the marketplace and clients´ enterprise systems, along
with partner developed integration components that provide
direct connectivity to sources like Platts, Logical
Information Machines (LIM), Financial Engineering Associates
(FEA), and capability to interface with SAP, and commodity
exchanges.
