Matisse Software Joins Intel® Software Partner Program.

Mountain View, CA - October 14, 2008 – Matisse Software today announces it has joined Intel® Software Partner Program and is launching initiatives to optimize the Matisse product lines for present and future multi-core Intel processors technology.

“Our participation in Intel® Software Partner Program will help us deliver products with higher value to our customers by maximizing Matisse database capability and performance on cutting-edge Intel architecture.” said Didier Cabannes, CEO of Matisse Software, “For instance, running Matisse x64 databases on Xeon® energy-efficient multi-core servers provide our customers with a leading-edge scalable platform to drive rapid business expansion while keeping cost under control”.

Matisse, the ultimate database for Java and .NET, is an innovative Post-Relational SQL database for Java and .NET environments that natively supports Objects and XML. The Matisse database represents an outstanding solution for companies confronted with complex business or scientific modeling needs.

Matisse greatly simplifies the architecture of applications, removing the need for an Object-Relational mapping layer and the severe limitations that come with it. This feature alone cuts the length of the application code by 30% to 50%, thus paying off in terms of faster time-to-market due to shorter database development cycles, lower cost of ownership due to lower maintenance requirements, and higher overall database performance.
