Gensym Corporation Announces Gensym G2 8.4R2 Platform

AUSTIN, TX, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Gensym Corporation (Gensym), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Versata
Enterprises, Inc. (Versata), announces the release of the Gensym G2 8.4R2
platform. This newest release demonstrates Gensym's continued leadership
in the demanding discipline of model-driven real time decision management
systems. For more than 20 years, Gensym G2 has been the platform of
choice for developing real time solutions to meet the most rigorous
demands for stability and performance in the field of manufacturing,
communications, government, transportation, aerospace, and finance.

Gensym G2 8.4R2 delivers enhanced features, reliability, and performance
to Gensym customers. "This Gensym release provides dramatic improvements
in memory management, performance, scalability, and developer
productivity," said Charlie Wiemann, Gensym Account Director. "This
translates directly into lower Total Cost of Ownership and greater Return
on Investment for our customers." Benchmark tests of G2 8.4R2 demonstrate
1.5 times more efficient memory management and doubled system performance
improvement.

"This release is the first step in the process of Gensym becoming the
fastest real-time decision engine on the planet," said Patrick Nichols,
Gensym General Manager. "Our technology focus drives us to constantly
identify areas of improvement in the core technology and hence with every
release, we deliver incremental value over its predecessor."

The 8.4R2 version of G2 makes the G2 core more robust and scalable in
supporting enterprise-scale databases and even larger, more complex
scripts than G2 8.4R1. This release also includes enhanced G2 user
interface elements, improved modelling capabilities for layered products
like Symcure(R), and streamlined event definition in Integrity(R) to
improve developer efficiency. Other significant technical and feature
enhancements
include:

-- 64 bit signed integer data type support providing a full 232 range of
integers
-- Win X64 platform support extending certified addressable memory access
from 2Gb to 6G for core G2 modules and up to 4G for layered products like
Optegrity and NOL
-- Improved modelling efficiency by increasing the number of messages and
events that can be processed with one operation from 1 to 1,000
-- VmWare support - deployments made easier and more cost effective which
facilitates deployments
-- Oracle bridge certified for Oracle 11
-- Improved editing efficiency by enhancing right-click menu access to
Property View integration in TWNG reducing mouse clicks by 5
-- 40 product improvements addressing memory management, up time, and
reliability, providing an overall enhanced user experience

Consistent with Gensym's philosophy of rapid and continuous
improvement driven by customer feedback, the next G2 release, 8.4R2c, is
scheduled for August 2009. This release will include several platform
certifications to ensure G2 compatibility with the latest hardware and
software platforms. The final G2 release for 2009, G2 8.4R3, will provide
even more new features and enhancements.

Gensym's customer focused product release planning is unique in the
industry. Gensym's Customer Success Program and interactive product
Roadmap drive product release contents. These programs ensure the product
evolves to provide tangible benefits to Gensym customers. "The Customer
Success Program and Product Road Map process differentiate us from our
competitors by ensuring a close partnership with our customers," said
Patrick Nichols, Gensym General Manager. "Gensym customers are uniquely
positioned for success because they define the metrics and actively
measure performance."

"The Customer Success Program provides a forum for Gensym customers to
define personalized success metrics and measure performance against these
metrics to track Gensym's contribution to their business goals," said
Chris Smith, Versata COO. "This program provides customers with direct
access to Gensym executives and measures results with a simple pass /
fail grade to ensure alignment with customer goals." The product Roadmap
process provides the opportunity for Gensym customers to help drive
product evolution, which ensures product releases reflect real customer
needs rather than perceived value.

In addition, two new Gensym products will debut this year, GenFlex and
SymScale. GenFlex will provide an Industry Standard .Net(R) IDE to enhance
productivity. GenFlex will include object and code templates to speed
development, Visual Studio-style workflow, type-ahead completion for G2,
drag and drop design workflows, and true debugging support. SymScale will
provide dramatic application scaling by providing the ability to
automatically deploy multiprocessor, multithreaded architectures.
