"Today is an important day in the growth of Stonebranch," noted Wolfgang
Bothe, Stonebranch's President and CEO. "Our customers have been asking us
for several years to expand the capabilities of our Indesca solution to
include a modern workload automation engine. While we have considered
partnering with other vendors, we found that most of their solutions are
based on old and outdated technologies, difficult to configure, and expensive
for our customers to acquire and maintain. OpsWise, on the other hand, was
built from the ground up to take advantage of current technologies and to
solve the complex needs of today's large-scale data centers. Also, in
OpsWise, we found a team with a shared vision of the future of workload
automation and a commitment to being valuable short and long term partners."

OpsWise Automation Center reduces the complexity of managing and
automating enterprise-wide IT Workload by providing the most modern and
comprehensive automation capabilities spanning z/OS, distributed systems, and
cloud computing environments.

Jim Sievers, CEO of OpsWise, said "Our Automation Center technology is a
great fit for Stonebranch's customers. Not only does it provide a viable
alternative to existing legacy solutions, but our innovative pricing model
provides significant cost savings to customers - a fraction of what they pay
for solutions from typical legacy vendors in the marketplace. As Wolfgang
noted, we find partnering with the Stonebranch team to be a great way to grow
both of our businesses."

"Stonebranch will continue to be committed to the independent job
scheduling marketplace," noted John Mecke, Stonebranch's COO. "The core
mission of our Indesca and Infitran solutions will continue to be supporting
all of the job scheduling solutions that our customers use. Our alliance with
OpsWise enables us to offer our customers new options."
