Opus Capital, Genesis Partners, and Eli Farkash Invest in Next-Generation Business Intelligence Platform

NETANYA, Israel, July 13, 2010 - SiSense, a provider of leading-edge business intelligence (BI) solutions,
has secured $4 million in Series A funding from Opus Capital, Genesis
Partners and private investor Eli Farkash. SiSense will use the funding to
ramp up marketing and sales operations in the US, and to further develop its
ground-breaking BI product.

SiSense has been developing its technology for the past five years.
Unusual at the Series A funding stage, the company already has a shipping
product and dozens of paying customers.

time-consuming IT projects, data warehouse systems and custom coding,
SiSense's Prism delivers powerful, end-to-end BI which can be implemented in
a matter of hours with no special expertise. Unique technologies developed by
the company, including just-in-time in-memory processing, allow Prism to
execute complex ad hoc queries against millions or billions of records in
just seconds, using ordinary PC hardware.

"Business intelligence is a multi-billion dollar market overdue for some
serious technological innovation," said Dan Avida, General Partner, Opus
Capital. "We have been very impressed both with SiSense's founders and with
the fantastic technology they have developed. We are excited about helping
SiSense grow into a major force in the BI space."

"Both business users and IT experts are consistently amazed at the
ease-of-use, fast deployment and incredible performance of SiSense Prism in
real-world BI scenarios," said Elad Israeli, CEO and Co-founder, SiSense. "In
just a number of months, we have already sold our breakthrough BI product to
more than 80 companies. This new funding will enable us to communicate to the
wider market that an entirely new generation of fast, inexpensive,
do-it-yourself BI is now possible."
