- Continued momentum demonstrates success in Master Data Management
environments, product innovation, partnerships, and services -

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Exeros(R), Inc., an innovator
in automated data relationship discovery software, today announced a record
year for 2007, resulting from the continued adoption of Exeros Discovery, the
latest version of the company's automated data relationship discovery
solution. This accomplishment is a direct result of tremendous growth in the
company's Fortune 1000 customer base, particularly among many of the nation's
leading credit card, insurance and global investment and asset management
institutions.
In addition to winning new customers and completing successful deployments
at several large, well-known companies, in 2007 Exeros entered into strategic
partnerships with several IT industry leaders, including Business Objects and
Siperian. The company also launched its annual "Fastest Data Mapper" contest,
which showcased the best human data analysts and the ways in which Exeros can
make them faster and more accurate.
"Exeros had an exciting year," said Piyush Gupta, CEO of Exeros. "We
enhanced our product, honed our services, grew our partnerships and showed the
value of the Exeros solution. Carving out a place in the market is something
that every new company must do, and Exeros has done that while positioning the
company for even greater achievements in the new year." Some of the
highlights from 2007 include:

Product announcements
-- In February, Exeros launched DataMapper 3.0, which gives business
decision-makers a more comprehensive and actionable look inside their
data than ever before. DataMapper 3.0 presents significant cost, time
and speed advantages to enterprises undertaking data governance,
integration and compliance initiatives.
-- Exeros Discovery, formerly known was Exeros DataMapper, was launched in
September. The latest version of this automated data relationship
discovery solution removes manual processes from the discovery of

unknown data inconsistencies. The new version also includes several
enhancements that give business decision-makers a more flexible,
comprehensive, and actionable look inside their data than ever before.

Events
-- Exeros' "Fastest Data Mapper Contest" took place online in February.
This challenge showcased the best human data analysts and the ways in
which Exeros can make them even faster, more accurate and free them to
concentrate on more valuable activities. More than 200 contestants
across six countries were judged on the number and accuracy of the
target table columns that were mapped.
-- Exeros sponsored a survey of IT decision-makers and uncovered
fascinating results, including the fact that two-thirds of IT
executives have delayed or abandoned data governance initiatives,
revealing an alarmingly high failure rate for projects managing a
company's most critical asset -- its data. The survey, conducted by
First Market Research, sought to understand the experiences of IT
executives implementing and managing data governance projects.
