Netezza's Commitment to Customer Success

As the pioneer of the data warehouse appliance market, Netezza
ushered in a revolutionary new way to replace the clutter of
expensive, cumbersome, and power-hungry storage devices, servers and
databases with a single Netezza appliance that delivers 10 to 100
times the performance, simply, at half the cost and at a fraction of
the power of other approaches. In addition to delivering an innovative
approach to data warehousing, Netezza also strongly believes in being
a company that is easy to do business with.

"Ensuring that our customers experience the full business benefits
of our appliance is our top priority," said Tricia Cotter, vice
president, Worldwide Customer Support & Manufacturing for Netezza.
"Some of the most established companies in the world have implemented
the Netezza data warehouse appliances and are discovering new and
exciting ways to analyze data and share information throughout their
organizations. We take our role in helping our customers be successful
very seriously, and are honored that they recognized our commitment
with this prestigious customer-driven award."

"The NorthFace ScoreBoard Awards recognize organizations that not
only offer exemplary customer service, but that also center their
existence on a deep commitment to exceeding customer expectations,"
said John Alexander Maraganis, president & CEO of Omega. "In 2007,
more than 200 projects, many international in scope, were judged from
75 companies based in the U.S. and abroad. We are thrilled to
recognize Netezza among this year's customer service elite."

Omega will formally present the award during ceremonies on May 15
