Lavastorm Opens New Markets for Premiere Partners

• BRAIN powers global Data Integration and Business Analytic Solution Providers

Boston, 25 June 2007 - Lavastorm, a global provider of business assurance software and solutions, today announced a world-wide partnership program. This new initiative will enable solution providers to solve complex data integration and business analytic problems easier, faster and more reliably than any current programming methods.

Paul Vedam, CEO, TierOne OSS Technologies Inc., the program's newest partner commented: "We have used Lavastorm's BRAIN software to solve complex data integration problems for our customers - most recently in deploying a major inventory reconciliation solution for a North American carrier. We find Lavastorm's platform easy to buy, easy to configure, easy to deploy and easy to maintain, and we are delighted to be a premiere partner as Lavastorm formally extends its capabilities to the growing data integration and business analytics markets."

Lavastorm is seeking other partners and is encouraging wide-scale industry evaluation and innovation with its BRAIN software. It is also taking the unprecedented step of making the fully featured desktop version available for a 30 day trial. For more information and access to the trial version please contact partners@lavastorm.com.

This new channel initiative builds on how Lavastorm's BRAIN business assurance software is already being used by its telecommunications clients to complete data integration work; including data synchronization projects at a Tier 1 Cable Provider, a major data transformation project with a global BPO company for a major Australian service provider, as well as for powerful business analytic work to improve complex service provisioning for a leading North American service provider.

Brad Soutiere, President and Chief Operating Officer of Vertek Corporation, a leading provider of telecommunication services and longstanding Lavastorm partner adds: "Our team continues to leverage the capabilities and sees the value of Lavastorm's BRAIN software in our Managed Business Assurance Services. Our telecommunications expertise, enhanced by Lavastorm's powerful data analysis platform, has provided us with analytic efficiencies that enable us to deliver value added services with meaningful financial and operational results."
 
Lavastorm's partners will be able to deliver powerful solutions with greater speed and flexibility than ever before.

"Our aim has been to extend the power of programming to a broad community of business and technical users to make data integration and business analytic projects easier than ever before," said Drew Rockwell, Lavastorm CEO.

"BRAIN 4.0 gives consultancies, systems integrators and BPO firms a tool that gets them working on solving a client's data challenge rather than doing custom software development. In the communications service provider space, we have seen our technology enable complex data integration projects to be completed much faster than any alternative. Now we are making these solutions applicable in new fields and working with a growing community of channel partners who can add vertical market expertise."

BRAIN is a proven solution for addressing business assurance and operational management issues affecting communications service providers. Developing partnerships with global systems integrators is part of a wider strategy to apply Lavastorm's business assurance software to solve challenges in other sectors globally including risk management for banking and finance; data integration and business analytic solutions for corporates; and revenue and cost assurance for energy and utility companies.
