SAN RAMON, CA – March 16, 2002 -- CASAHL Technology, a leading provider of enterprise data integration products, today announced the company received the Lotus Notes & Domino Advisor Editor’s Choice Gold Award 2002 for CASAHL ecKnowledge, as the top product in enterprise data integration product.

CASAHL Technology was the pioneer of enterprise application integration in the Notes space in 1995 when it shipped Replic-Action™. Since the onset of Replic-Action™, it has proven itself to over a thousand Fortune 2000 customers. Prior to 1995, Notes was used primarily for email and discussion forums. With the enterprise data made easily available to the Notes users, formative business applications have been developed ever since.

About three and a half years ago, CASAHL realized that increasingly Notes developers are being integrated into their companies’ IT organizations and being asked to further enterprise mission-critical applications. CASAHL realized a demand to formulate a new generation of integration technology. It resulted with the birth of CASAHL’s ecKnowledge® (eBusiness collaboration and Knowledge sharing). ecKnowledge® is designed to take the Notes integration into the next generation. With connectivity to all ERPs, DBMSs, mainframes, EDIs, XMLs and front-end applications, etc., ecKnowledge® offers multiple levels of integration, from tight synchronization between arbitrary data sources, to loosely coupled publish and subscribe outside of the firewall. In addition, it has all of the Notes integration capability as found in Replic-Action® and has a wizard-based declarative application development environment with an open API. Among ecKnowledge® servers, it has a built-in clustering technology to support load-balancing and fail-over.

Harry Wong, CEO and President of CASAHL Technology states that “With ecKnowledge, we are continuing our leadership in enterprise data integration, riding on the momentum of our leading product, Replic-Action, which has been awarded the Editor’s Choice “Gold” Award by Lotus Notes and Domino Advisor magazine for 1998, 1999 and 2000 – a three-year consecutive run.”

Dave Folger of the Meta Group states, “CASAHL has the leading product with a reputation for performance and easy configuration.” Along with Chris Clark, US Environment Protection Agency (EPA), “ecKnowledge simplifies managing the data collections to a very easy process without any additional coding,” both concurring CASAHL’s technology surpasses expectations with usage and performance.
