As an SAP-certified provider of software integration services,
Bristlecone will provide incremental value to ISVs by helping them with their

applications based on SAP composition tools, content development related to
the SAP NetWeaver(R) Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) component,

platform Releases 6.40 and 7.0).

The certification was conducted and granted by the SAP Integration and
Certification Center (SAP ICC), which provides technical services to
companies that wish to integrate their products with SAP solutions. This
certification will help boost Bristlecone's ISV offerings and help ISVs
shorten the time to market for product development and to integrate their
solutions with SAP software through Bristlecone's full lifecycle product
services. These include product design, development, testing, support and
implementation.

"We are extremely pleased to be an SAP-certified provider of software
integration services, which will go a long way in helping us grow our

commitment to grow our ISV business to continue to be the leading service
provider for software companies integrating solutions with SAP software."
