IVTA Infovista S.A. ADS (MM)

InfoVista (NASDAQ: IVTA) (Euronext IFV - FR0004031649), the leader in service-centric performance management software, today announced its inclusion in Software Magazine's 2006 Software 500 list of the world's foremost software and services providers, published as an online catalog at www.Softwaremag.com. Placing at number 268 on the 2006 Software 500 list, InfoVista�s advancement of 35 slots in the rankings from last year is indicative of the company�s corporate momentum despite the industry�s flat growth rate in software and services. InfoVista is exceeding expectations for enterprises and service providers with leading-edge, performance management software that links network activity with the end-user experience. �The 2006 Software 500 results show that growth in the software and services industry was flat from 2004 to 2005, the ranking year. The industry continues to be dynamic with more than 90 new companies on the list this year,� said John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. �Strong segments this year included security and system integration services. While much of the growth is coming from outside the U.S. in the services segment, the flattening world effect is sending some of it back too. �Total employee head count is down from the previous year�s Software 500, reversing a growth trend. The industry produced about the same revenue with fewer employees,� continued Desmond. InfoVista�s service-centric approach and advanced technology has led the company to the forefront of managing next generation, �always on� services. This fall, InfoVista will be conducting a road show on �IP Convergence: The Road to Success.� InfoVista will discuss the challenges of managing and delivering converged applications including IP telephony, and provide a set of convergence best practices to achieve superior end-user satisfaction with IT services over a shared network. The IP Convergence road show started in New York on Oct. 26, and will be in Dallas on Nov. 2, Sydney, Australia on Nov. 21 and Atlanta on Nov. 28.

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world's largest software and services suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals, software developers and business managers involved in software and services purchasing. The list includes both private and public companies; 37 percent of the 2005 Software 500 companies are private. The Software 500 is searchable by primary business sector on www.Softwaremag.com, which is free to all site registrants. �This accolade reflects the continued success of InfoVista�s service-centric performance management solutions for assuring optimal delivery of business-critical IT services,� said Jean-Luc Valente, senior vice president, marketing and strategic alliances with InfoVista. �By being highly responsive to customer needs and continuing to focus on innovative performance solutions for high-growth markets in the IT enterprise sector as well as communication service provider, we are able to help Fortune 1000 firms and government agencies harness the growing management complexity of IT infrastructure and in turn sustain our double-digit growth organically.� The Software 500 ranking is based on total worldwide software and service revenue for 2005. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support, training and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co., as well as from public documents, and posted at www.Softwaremag.com.
