SEEBEYOND AND RAINING DATA ALIGN TO GENERATE STANDARDS-BASED RFID SOLUTIONS FOR SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATION

Companies To Support Real-Time RFID Information Service

CHICAGO, IL, RFID Journal LIVE!, April 11, 2005 — SeeBeyond (Nasdaq: SBYN), provider of the world’s first fully integrated composite application network suite (SeeBeyond ICAN) for advanced integration and composite application solutions, and Raining Data (Nasdaq: RDTA), a leading XML Data Management, XQuery and Web Services technology provider, today announced an intent to enter into a strategic agreement whereby the two companies will team to provide solutions to manage and orchestrate the flow of data generated by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. As a part of the intended agreement, the companies intend to enable the integration of information from existing applications to generate standards-based collaboration among partners across the Supply Chain, powering the EPCglobal Information Service, EPC-IS.

As companies struggle to unlock the ROI around RFID initiatives, the realization of a best practices framework to enable real-time information sharing is becoming fundamental to any RFID project. This sharing of data not only encompasses the enterprise applications within the four walls of a corporation, but also the business processes that span the extended enterprise. The EPC-IS in the context of EPCglobal standards, is an important evolving component of any supply chain that needs to be able to share information with partners through an open standards framework.

As companies deploy this kind of infrastructure, the performance, extensibility, interoperability and ease of access will become important criteria when sharing high volumes of information. With the XML-based repository (TigerLogic XDMS) from Raining Data and the RFID Composite Application Network offering from SeeBeyond, customers and partners can take advantage of the standards-based Web Services and XQuery to aggregate information not previously accessible – delivering new efficiencies to help support accelerated ROI from RFID projects.

Together the companies will provide a standards-based technology platform which collects, manages and integrates RFID and sensor data with existing systems to enable composite applications such as: track and trace, product recall, advanced shipping and receiving reconciliation, and total inventory visibility.

“Organizations trying to unlock the ROI from RFID investments must be able to integrate this real-time data with existing systems to drive new ROI driven applications,” said Reed Henry, senior vice president of Business Development, Strategic Alliances and Marketing for SeeBeyond. “Partnering with a leading XML Data Management, XQuery and Web Services technology provider, such as Raining Data, enables our customers to leverage our ICAN suite and integrate real-time EPC/RFID data to drive new business application development.”

“We believe the intended alliance between Raining Data and SeeBeyond offers companies the most complete RFID platform today,” said Ajay Ramachandran, vice president of Enterprise Applications Group for Raining Data. “Combining XML Data Management, XQuery and Web Services with an integration platform, such as SeeBeyond ICAN, delivers the necessary components to drive new Supply Chain applications and fully take advantage of EPC/RFID data.”

SeeBeyond and Raining Data will be demonstrating a live EPC-IS application at RFID Journal LIVE! (Booth 111). In addition, as part of SeeBeyond’s RFID partner portfolio, Bent Systems will join the two companies at the conference to highlight the value of delivering next generation ROI-focused applications for RFID.
