Daptiv and Pervasive Software Partner to Help Customers Easily Integrate Project Management and Collaboration with other Enterprise Systems

New Daptiv Connect Solution Provides a Seamless Link between
Daptiv's SaaS Collaborative Business Software and Other SaaS or
On-Premise Enterprise Products
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--Daptiv, the on-demand leader in collaborative business software,
and Pervasive Software (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in
embeddable data management and agile integration software, today
announced a partnership to provide fast and easy integration between
Daptiv PPM and a wide variety of enterprise systems. This new
solution, Daptiv Connect, enables businesses to gain a holistic view
of the full spectrum of work across their enterprise and connect
Daptiv's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based solution with both SaaS
and on-premise software.

Taking full advantage of Pervasive's extensive library of more
than 150 adapters - running the gamut from ERP systems from SAP,
Oracle and Peoplesoft, to development tools like Visual Studio Team
System from Microsoft - Daptiv Connect will provide Daptiv customers
with easy-to-use integration tools that help them quickly map data
relationships between Daptiv's environment and outside enterprise
applications. Since data from multiple systems, such as financial data
in ERP or sales data in CRM, can be integrated into the Daptiv
environment and tied to relevant projects, Daptiv PPM will become the
central, enterprise-wide source for managing and collaborating on
everyday work.

Daptiv Connect is a faster, more comprehensive and more reliable
alternative to custom code-based integrations, which require
significant investment and break with the introduction of new features
on either side of the integration. Built on standard adapters that are
created and maintained by Pervasive, Daptiv Connect will automatically
ensure all applications are synced and working properly when versions
of software are updated or changed. Daptiv Connect also solves the
common issue of how to best integrate data from on-premise packaged
software with on-demand software. Organizations with less complex
integration needs will continue to have access to Daptiv's Web
services APIs.

"As customers become accustomed to the rapid deployment and
ease-of-use benefits of SaaS, they are also becoming more interested
in utilizing multiple on-demand applications in an integrated
fashion," according to Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of
THINKstrategies and the founder of the SaaS Showplace. "Embedding
Pervasive's growing library of adapters into its portfolio of
solutions will enable Daptiv to meet its customers' escalating needs
and satisfy their rising expectations."

"Through our partnership with Pervasive, we are now able to offer
our customers an easy way to integrate key data stored in other
enterprise systems with Daptiv PPM," said Jeff Pancottine, CEO of
Daptiv. "Daptiv Connect enhances the core assets of Daptiv PPM by
making a breadth of data available within our environment, so that
people can plug it into our Work Intelligence(TM) engine for ad-hoc
reporting or use a wide range of data within customized Dynamic
Applications. Pervasive's solution maps well with our SaaS delivery
model, so our customers have the added benefit of speed and don't have
to worry about compatibility when one system is upgraded."

Pervasive has been a leader and innovator in SaaS integration
since 2001, capitalizing on more than 20 years of integration
experience to meet the needs of SaaS customers. Pervasive integration
is specifically designed to match the speed and economics that
customers associate with SaaS, enabling companies like Daptiv to
deliver rapid, affordable and agile integration that enhances customer
value and provides a competitive edge. This partnership with Daptiv
further validates Pervasive's focus on delivering agile integration
for both SaaS and on-premise software vendors.

"We are pleased to partner with on-demand collaboration software
leader Daptiv on their Daptiv Connect innovation. Pervasive Software
has a unique track record of enabling SaaS vendors like Daptiv to
provide integration offerings that truly align with the speed and
economics of the SaaS model that their customers expect," said Mike
Hoskins, CTO and general manager, Integration Products for Pervasive.
"Industry leaders like Daptiv are adopting our technology for
competitive advantage as well as for delivering greater value to their
customers."

Daptiv Connect is available now. Pricing for the service is based
upon the number of connections required, and the size of the user
community.
