Ease of Implementation, Query Performance, Business User Autonomy and Lower Total Cost of Ownership Cited as Main Reasons for the Choice

TEL AVIV, Israel, January 11, 2011 - SiSense, a provider of leading-edge business intelligence (BI)
solutions, announced that its Prism BI software (
www.sisense.com/?sis_src=PR&p1=WeFI) was selected by WeFi to analyze
and report on a rapidly-growing database of more than 600 million rows of
data. WeFi is a Web-based business dedicated to helping its millions of users
find and enjoy the more than 75,000,000 Wi-Fi access points around the world
cataloged in its system.

WeFi was looking for a business intelligence solution
(www.sisense.com/solutions-bi.aspx?sis_src=PR&p1=WeFI) that would
quickly perform advanced reporting and analysis over large amounts of data,
including the behavior of millions of WeFi users, the performance and
activity of wireless networks to which its users are connected and the
activity records of active clients. Furthermore, the company wanted a
solution which would allow its analysts and management to design and
customize reports, dashboards and analytics without heavy involvement of IT
staff.

SiSense was chosen over competing in-memory BI vendors for its
shorter implementation time, faster query response performance, better
scalability, lower total cost of ownership and more user-friendly
report/dashboard design. Soon after deploying Prism, the company's business
users were already creating their own reports and analyses.

WeFi is currently running most of its reporting and BI
dashboards over Prism (www.sisense.com/prism.aspx?sis_src=PR&p1=WeFI),
using an off-the-shelf PC with a Xeon 5520 CPU, 64GB RAM and Windows 2003 as
its server.

"One of our primary assets at WeFi is our data. Prism is a key
weapon in our strategic arsenal," said Amit Shaked, Vice President, Products
and Marketing, WeFi. "Business users have extensive autonomy to create and
modify their own dashboards and reports, dramatically shortening the time it
takes to get new data insights."

"SiSense is rewriting the rules of the BI industry by making
powerful and scalable BI available to any company or department, large or
small, without the need for large up-front investments, time-consuming
implementation projects or prior BI experience," says Elad Israeli, CEO of
SiSense. "WeFi is a perfect case in point, as a company which bases its key
strategic decisions on daily analysis of large and rapidly growing amounts of
data."
