MindTree Adopts Relativity Technologies for Application Modernization and Portfolio Management

      Modernization Workbench(R) Platform Offers Global Access to
  Best-in-Class Technology; Enables MindTree Professionals to Rapidly
          Align Client Applications with Business Priorities
RALEIGH, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Responding to global competition requires world-class operations.
But when your business is automated by aging and inflexible
applications, your ability to address threats and emerging
opportunities is impaired. To confront this challenge, leaders in your
industry have modernized their application portfolios - boosting
efficiency, agility, security, and regulatory compliance.

   MindTree Limited, a global IT and R&D services company, has led
this drive to align applications with business needs. Now, to
accelerate its realignment solutions, MindTree has adopted the
Modernization Workbench platform from Relativity Technologies. This
decision was based on the unique ability of the Modernization
Workbench to enable business-centered application modernization
activities.

   The combination of proven professionals, methodologies, and
technology provides:

   --  Robust Control and Security: The Modernization Workbench
        collects detailed insight into application portfolios. Unlike
        proprietary alternatives, this intelligence is globally
        accessible to authorized users. This slashes miscommunications
        across international teams, and allows managers to verify
        MindTree's commitment to service level agreements.

   --  Accelerated Solution Delivery: Now, at delivery centers
        worldwide, MindTree professionals can leverage Relativity
        Technologies' best-of-breed technology to speed solution
        delivery. Redevelopment, re-architecting, SOA-enablement, and
        ongoing maintenance are executed in less time and with
        enhanced results, on even the largest application portfolios.

   --  Alignment with Strategic Goals: MindTree doesn't simply solve
        IT problems, it improves your business. The Modernization
        Workbench supports this goal through a business-centric
        approach to application modernization. The platform identifies
        where your applications diverge from business requirements.
        This enables MindTree professionals to focus effort on
        modernization activities that maximize value for your
        organization.

the Modernization Workbench is a significant endorsement," said Steve
Maysonave, chairman, president, and CEO of Relativity Technologies.

tools. Our ability to enable business-focused modernization activities
