Composite Software Wins Network Computing Well-Connected Award
SAN MATEO, Calif. – May 4, 2005 – Composite Software, the Enterprise Information Integration (EII) leader, today announced that the Composite Information Server has won a CMP Media LL Network Computing Well-Connected Award. The Composite Information Server has been selected as an outstanding and distinctive product in the EII Platform, Network Application category. Network Computing thoroughly tested all of the finalists and selected them based on how the products performed in testing and evaluation within real-world environments, as well as how well they surpassed competing products. Composite Software’s Composite Information Server was awarded Editor’s Choice by Network Computing in 2004, over products such as IBM’s DB2 Information Integrator.
“For the 11th year in a row, Network Computing will be recognizing the most outstanding tech products and services in the networking and IT world in our Well-Connected award 4/28 issue,” says Mike Lee, editor of Network Computing magazine. “The awards are a snapshot in time, the best of what we evaluated over 12 months in our Real-World Labs® — more than 134 finalists in more than 44 categories have been named. The winners will be announced in our 4/28 issue.”
The Composite Information Server received the highest ratings based on Network Computing’s evaluation of data integration, data management, interface administration, price and reliability. (Editor’s Note: The full article can be viewed at

“The result of Network Computing’s rigorous testing is another endorsement of our leadership position,” said Wister Walcott, vice president of marketing for Composite Software. “As EII gains acceptance as a key enabler of next-generation business intelligence, customers need to separate the wheat from the chaff. It’s critical to select an EII product that is powerful, easy to use, and offers top performance. Network Computing cited Composite’s superior performance across the board. It’s the reason customers such as Pfizer Global Pharmaceuticals, Starbucks, Visa, EDS and Life Time Fitness have selected the Composite Information Server as their EII solution.”

About Enterprise Information Integration (EII)
EII servers enable single logical views of business information such as customers, products, or employees, combining data from different departments, subsidiaries, or processes. Views provide modular, comprehensive access to developers building advanced reports, scorecards, compliance, data validation, and other composite applications. EII is often used to extend the effective scope of data warehouses without forcing a redesign of the warehouse data model and ETL plans. Some EII servers (including Composite’s) transparently expose relational data as a web service or vice versa, providing a single, abstracted “data services layer” across the organization.
