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, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
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, Datawatch's web-based report mining and Business
Intelligence (BI) solution, transforms static reports and other
business documents stored in a customer's IBM DB2(R) 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.
