Atlanta - 26 September 2006

Seagull Software (AEX: SEAGULL), a leading provider of high-performance solutions that transform legacy business applications into service-oriented architecture (SOA) assets, announced it is a strategic sponsor of the CentraSite™ Community, formed to help enterprises successfully design, implement, manage and optimize a SOA.

At the foundation of the community is the CentraSite SOA registry and repository, which stores the different SOA artifacts being created by architects, process modelers and developers. Seagull Software is integrating LegaSuite with CentraSite, and the Community portal provides customers with a single destination for an integrated platform of tools and middleware for SOA, as well as the latest SOA best practices and industry information leveraging social media tools such as blogs, wikis and discussion forums. CentraSite is built on the fundamental SOA principles of interoperability and reuse. The coalition of sponsoring partners in the CentraSite Community provides enterprise customers with CentraSite-enabled SOA tools. With each member that joins, CentraSite gets enhanced to support more reusable SOA components. The Community has 19 sponsors to date.

"Our customers are excited about the power of LegaSuite to transform legacy applications into SOA services--all it takes is one project and they're hooked," said Don Addington, CEO and president of Seagull Software. "To maximize reuse, the next step is to manage those services effectively with a centralized registry and repository. CentraSite and LegaSuite are a perfect match for getting exponential value from the migration to SOA."

LegaSuite^® is the key that unlocks SOA value in legacy applications. With LegaSuite, enterprises can expose legacy business processes as SOA services that are easily registered in CentraSite. Transforming legacy applications into SOA assets--quickly, securely, and with no coding--is Seagull Software's specialty. LegaSuite can be found in mission-critical production use in financial services, insurance, telecommunications, transportation, manufacturing, logistics and government projects.

“We welcome Seagull Software as a tremendous addition to the CentraSite Community,” said Robert Sepanloo, senior vice president of the Enterprise Software Group at Fujitsu Computer Systems. “The ability to transform legacy applications into SOA assets complements the solutions offered by the other CentraSite sponsors and will help to accelerate adoption of both CentraSite and SOA in general.”
