INDIGOCUBE TO DISTRIBUTE RAVEN IN SOUTH AFRICA

Hyde Park, South Africa and Emeryville, CA—July 6, 2009—Ravenflow™, the leader in Business Requirements Definition™, today announced a new partnership agreement with IndigoCube to distribute the award-winning RAVEN software in South Africa. IndigoCube is an internationally certified consulting, training, and software provider, specializing in application lifecycle management (ALM) with emphasis on helping customers adopt and improve agile software development, agile processes, business analysis, legacy modernization, and service level management.

IBM Rational has recognized both Ravenflow and IndigoCube for leadership in application development technology. IndigoCube won the "Top IBM Business Partner in Rational" award in 2008, and Ravenflow won the "Top ISV Partner" in 2009.

"In recent years, business analysts have been playing an increasingly important role in addressing the frustrations of the large miscommunication gap between IT and business," said Themi Themistocleous, executive chairman of IndigoCube. "This miscommunication has cost the industry billions of dollars in failed, late, or inadequate systems. Business analysts should produce requirements that actually address the business needs that can be used by IT to accurately produce the solutions required by the business. After a careful evaluation, we have selected the RAVEN product for improving the quality of business requirements specifications."

"IndigoCube has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to deliver total solutions to their customers’ satisfaction," said Susan Boers, president and CEO of Ravenflow. "Their experiences are reflected in their recognition as the top IBM Rational Partner in Africa. Their expertise in requirements was a key benefit in moving ahead with this partnership."

IndigoCube was formed by a core of industry veterans who have worked together in key executive positions and have been in the IT industry since 1979. IndigoCube is focused on providing solutions that require sophisticated software and hardware capable of integrating advanced business functionality with a company's existing core IT assets.
