Basel, Switzerland, January 27, 2009

E2E Technologies Ltd. (www.E2EBridge.com), a leading provider of Model Driven Integration solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the visionaries quadrant of the «Application Infrastructure for Back-End Application Integration Projects» Magic Quadrant report.

E2E considers Gartner’s inclusion of E2E Technologies Ltd. in the Visionaries Quadrant a milestone for the company in its mission to establish Model Driven Integration based on UML® model execution as a viable alternative to software development based on traditional programming.

«We see E2E’s position in the Visionaries Quadrant as confirmation of our successful effort to offer small and medium companies as well as large multinationals a more effective approach to SOA development and integration,» said Serge Gansner, CEO of E2E. «For us, our clients and our partners, the mention by Gartner represents not only a recognition of E2E’s technical innovations, but also an objective assessment of E2E’s success in a highly competitive global software market.»

Following the successful implementation of large scale projects for the Swiss financial services sector, E2E started in 2006 to apply its unique model execution approach to other industries, establishing itself as a global software provider. Just three years later, E2E serves 45 organizations in 30 countries, and is represented by 14 resellers and system integrators on four continents.

Through its customer network, the daily business of more than 2,000 companies worldwide depends on the quality and reliability of E2E’s platform, the E2E Bridge. Across various industries, including energy and utilities, supply chain and logistics as well as financial services, over 150 E2E Bridge installations handle in excess of 3 billion transactions per year. Together with its implementation partners, E2E has established a solid reputation for on time and on budget delivery, regardless of project complexity.

Robert Redl, CIO at EVN AG, added: «Past advances in software methodology have continually improved the productivity of individual developers and technical teams, but have neglected the crucial dialog between business and IT. E2E’s innovative model execution approach extends the potential for productivity gains across the entire organization. It facilitates effective collaboration based on a shared, easy to understand blueprint which for the first time ever involves all stakeholders. This allows businesses to reap unprecedented value from ongoing evolution of their existing software infrastructure in support of continuous business process optimization. I can only congratulate E2E on being included in the Magic Quadrant. In my opinion, this recognition is well deserved.»

Dr. Richard M. Soley, Chairman and CEO of the Object Management Group, commented, «With its relentless commitment to UML model execution as a proven and productive approach to decreasing risk and cost while increasing quality, E2E has made an invaluable contribution to the advancement of Model Driven Development across the industry. With visionary and consistent products, and highly successful design wins, E2E customers serve as inspiring role models promoting the benefits of model execution to close the gap between business and IT, with improved communication, transparency and accountability. E2E's recognition by one of the world's leading analyst firms underscores the significance of their technical and commercial achievements.»
