Press Release Body: Sept 19, 2007 - CCSS, the IBM System i monitoring solution
specialist, today announces an extension to their European sales organisation. The
sales expansion builds on two key European markets, Germany and Switzerland, with
the appointment of key senior sales executives. Rainer Nickel joins the existing
German sales team and Manfred Petersen is responsible for increasing CCSS sales in
the Swiss market.

The recent expansion marks CCSS's ongoing confidence in the European server software
market. Industry Analyst IDC agrees the German server market continues to experience
healthy trends in 2Q07 with IBM, the leading vendor, enjoying a 30% market share of
the total unit shipments which are close to 89,000 according to their German
Quarterly Server Tracker.

Bonn based CCSS in Germany is already the preferred System i monitoring solution
provider of leading national and internationally recognised brands such as tea,
cereal and health product manufacturing giant, OTG and the globally ubiquitous
McDonald's. As part of their strategy for the two regions, CCSS will focus on
vertical markets such as pharmaceutical, finance and manufacturing where they have a
compelling global client list already.

Between them, Switzerland and Germany already boast eight of the world's leading
pharmaceutical companies, many hundreds of prominent financial institutions and a
formidable manufacturing industry. The IBM System i is especially popular for these
industries as the platform is amongst the most robust, secure and reliable available
today.

Managing Director for CCSS, Ray Wright, says the European expansion is the latest in
a series of strategic moves that the company has undertaken in the past 18 months,
"Last year was significant for us in relocating some of our senior members of staff
from the UK to the US. Coupled with this, we launched CCSS Asia in the Philippines
to more directly serve System i customers in the AsiaPacific region. Now, by
increasing our sales presence in Europe we can offer direct global sales coverage
with more dedicated resources for our growing customer base."
