Company endorses the new Business Objects Enterprise Information Management (EIM) initiative, satisfying customer demands for access to the most accurate information for decision making

CANNES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2006--Attunity, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU - News), a leading provider of enterprise-class integration platforms for real-time and on demand data integration, announced today at the Business Objects INSIGHT Europe conference that support for Attunity products has been built into BusinessObjects Data Integrator XI, enabling enterprise information management (EIM) through real-time data integration. EIM requires best-practice methodologies, services, and highly reliable technology to improve data quality, integrate data from disparate sources and gain access to information in real time.

Attunity is working closely with Business Objects to provide comprehensive EIM solutions that include change data capture (CDC) capabilities and direct access to mainframe and legacy data sources. Attunity products and expertise in legacy and mainframe platforms extend the reach of BusinessObjects Data Integrator into these business-critical systems.

"Business Objects EIM solutions quickly and flexibly integrate and improve information to provide a trusted foundation for business decisions," said Darren Cunningham, senior director of product marketing at Business Objects. "By using Attunity's products to complement Data Integrator's extract, transform, and load (ETL) capabilities, we are providing our customers with a highly integrated solution that provides a complete view of their business."

Attunity supports BusinessObjects Data Integrator with Attunity Stream and Attunity Connect, components of the Attunity Integration Suite (AIS). By providing CDC capabilities, Attunity Stream allows Data Integrator customers to capture and stream changes in enterprise data, which dramatically improves both the currency of data and the efficiency of ETL. To facilitate seamless access to all enterprise data from a single data catalog, Data Integrator uses Attunity Connect for universal data access. By incorporating AIS into its data integration platform, Business Objects can deliver reliable and comprehensive enterprise information management.

"As a dedicated, go-to partner for Business Objects, Attunity is very supportive of the EIM initiative," said Andy Bailey, vice president of marketing at Attunity. "Working with Business Objects, we are fulfilling customer demands for mainframe and legacy data integration for real-time business intelligence."
