Datawatch Expands Strategic Partner Program - Welcomes Four New IBM Content Manager OnDemand Partners

New Additions Extend the Reach of Monarch RMS to IBM CMOD Users

Chelmsford, MA - July 23, 2008 - Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM), today announced that it has expanded its Strategic Partner Program for Monarch RMS.  Joining recently announced Silicon Plains Technologies and Lighthouse Computer Services are four new IBM Content Manager OnDemand Partners which include The Dayhuff Group, enChoice Technologies, Genus Technologies LLC and MSI Systems Integrators.

Datawatch’s partner program is comprised of industry leading systems integrators that bring strategic value to IBM Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD) customers in the areas of consulting, vertical expertise, technology integration, and implementation services.  In addition to bolstering Datawatch’s partner network, these new strategic partnerships will provide the benefits of Monarch RMS to more end user organizations, and will dramatically extend the value of their existing reports to solve real business problems without programming.

Monarch RMS – Web-based Report Mining and BI
Monarch RMS, Datawatchs’ web-based report mining and Business Intelligence (BI) solution, transforms static reports and other business documents stored in a customer’s IBM DB2® CMOD system into real, actionable data—such as Excel spreadsheets—with the click of a mouse.  Now companies have the power to leverage the value of their business documents as a trusted and low cost source of decision support information and BI, without the need for custom programming or report writing, or the need to build and support a data mart or data warehouse.

"An increasing number of the top IBM Content Manager OnDemand Partners recognize the significant value that report-based BI offers their customers. We’re very pleased that these partners turn to Datawatch solutions to help their customers increase the value of their archives by transforming them into valuable sources of BI," said John Kitchen, senior vice president and CMO for Datawatch.  "Like Datawatch, these partners understand that a complete EIM solution; one that provides the benefits of both BI and Enterprise Content Management—without the need to change their business processes—can dramatically improve the way IBM CMOD customers solve critical business issues.  With these new partnerships we continue to execute strategic initiatives that squarely address these issues," added Kitchen.
