Courion Positioned in Leaders Quadrant for User Provisioning

Evaluation based on completeness of vision and ability to execute

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Courion® Corporation, leaders in
access governance, provisioning and compliance, today announced that it has
been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the 2009 "Magic
Quadrant for User Provisioning" report(1).

In the "Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning" report, Gartner states, "User
provisioning grew in terms of revenue at a global rate of 15.5%(2), and is now
approximately a $900 million market ... Economic conditions stress efficiency
as the main driver, but compliance remains crucial. Identity and access
management intelligence and role life cycle management are increasingly top of
mind."

"We believe Courion's position in this year's "Leaders" quadrant is further
recognition of our continued innovation and value creation for our customers,"
said Chris Zannetos, president and CEO, Courion. "With a history of industry
firsts, like the first access certification and compliance solution, Courion
has consistently helped enterprises meet their compliance and security
challenges while delivering tangible value to their business."

complex, heterogeneous environments. This comprehensive approach increases
