Press Release Summary = ChainBuilder ESB provides open source SOA integration via
graphical interfaces

Press Release Body = (February 3, 2007) COLUMBUS, OHIO - Bostech Corporation today
announced the general availability of ChainBuilder ESB, a new Java Business
Integration (JBI) compliant Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that allows IT developers
with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) infrastructures to create standards-based
ESB components through graphical user interfaces.

"A unique aspect of our open source solution is a focus on usability," says David
Bourke, President of Bostech Corporation. "Used primarily for enterprise-level
business operations, ChainBuilder ESB supports a superior SOA development and
monitoring environment as compared to other open source ESB products. Our
development team realized that there are all levels of SOA developers, and we are
catering to the busiest of them -- those who understand the advantages of
standards-based technology like JBI, but do not have time to learn the ins-and-outs
of every new specification."

IT developers use ChainBuilder ESB's Component Flow Editor to graphically layout the
flow of the SOA components within the Eclipse IDE interface. Disparate business
applications can also be brought into the XML-based SOA fold through a set of
ChainBuilder ESB's service engines that transform the message formats of critical
business applications, such as the X12 EDI format, into XML. All components (new
structures and non-XML integrations) are shown in the Component Flow Editor.

ChainBuilder ESB also provides an AJAX-based web interface for monitoring the ESB in
a production environment. A monitoring solution is an uncommon extra in open source
code, but a necessity for a production SOA infrastructure. The ChainBuilder ESB
Console provides a web interface for administration and control of your ESB
environment, as well as the review of statistics and runtime logs.

Bostech Corporation deploys a dual-license distribution model for ChainBuilder
ESB. Developers can download the open source software under the common GPL
license at http://download.chainforge.net. Additionally, these developers can
purchase a Professional Subscription that provides ChainBuilder ESB training,
support, warranty and intellectual property indemnification. A commercial license
is also available for use where GPL is not available and for partners who do not
release source code for their applications.
