Independent Research Firm

NEW YORK, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- OpTier(R), the leader in Business
Transaction Management(TM) (BTM) for the enterprise, today announced it has
been recognized by independent research firm Forrester Research, Inc. as a hot
vendor in Business Service Management in the firm's overview of BSM solutions
report entitled "Who's Hot in Business Service Management" published on June
11, 2009. This report is an update to the Forrester Wave(TM) on BSM originally
published in March 2007, and OpTier is one of only seven technology vendors
from that original report evaluated in the update.

The report cites that OpTier is the one vendor that is focused on a
transaction management solution for BSM. The report goes on to note that,
"OpTier is now broadening its traction and building on the company's success
in an increasing number of markets."

"CoreFirst is currently being used by some of the world's leading companies in
finance, insurance, telecommunications, manufacturing and government," said
Israel Mazin, CEO of OpTier. "By enabling these organizations to manage IT
from a business perspective, we provide them with a transparent view of
transactions that is not available with other BSM offerings."

In addition to this acknowledgment from the analyst community, during the
first half of 2009 OpTier has been honored with four industry awards including
the Red Herring 100 North America, SIIA Codie Awards Finalist, and the Hot
Companies and Product Innovation awards from Network Products Guide.

perspective using transactions. CoreFirst assures that business transactions
flow smoothly within IT applications and infrastructure, without bottlenecks
or outages, for improved end-user experience. BTM is ideally suited to
managing performance and availability problems because it clearly identifies
exactly where transactions are held up. But for IT, problem management is just
the tip of the iceberg. BTM also enables proactive problem prevention as well
as the generation of business service intelligence for optimization of
resource provisioning and virtualization.
