GoldenGate Reaches 2000th Customer Deployment of Its Global Data Synchronization Platform

Milestone deployment marks momentum — new customers and expansions drive continued sales growth and profitability

Sausalito, Calif. - March 25, 2003 - GoldenGate, a leader in Global Data Synchronization, today announced the completion of its 2000th deployment for customer Paymentech, the nation's premier processor of credit card transactions. A long-time customer, Paymentech renewed its licensing of the GoldenGate Global Data Synchronization Platform, upgrading and expanding its deployment to increase business continuity and data synchronization capabilities. The milestone 2000th deployment underscores the strong sales growth that GoldenGate has enjoyed over the past twelve months and marks the addition of several large-enterprise customers in the finance, banking and travel industries.

"GoldenGate has enjoyed years of continuous growth and profitability spurred by strong demand for real-time data synchronization," said Mike Seashols, CEO of GoldenGate. "Having closed out 2002 with our 30th consecutive profitable quarter, our momentum continues in 2003. We are very happy to announce another big milestone for the company — our 2000th deployment — with long-time customer, Paymentech."

Paymentech services require high-speed, high-volume systems to process billions of transactions for more than $100 billion in bankcard sales annually. The GoldenGate platform initially deployed to power Paymentech's disaster recovery solution. In expanded and upgraded deployments, Paymentech now operates in a geographically dispersed configuration to ensure 24x7x365 business continuity for its core processing services. Additionally, GoldenGate is deployed to synchronize data between Paymentech's central HP NonStop transaction processors and an Oracle-based real-time data warehouse.

"Our ongoing relationship with GoldenGate has helped us achieve the level of business continuity required to provide superior service to our customers," said Barry Mera, Group Manager of Technical Services at Paymentech. "GoldenGate's Global Data Synchronization platform is the essential link powering our reporting applications — it allows us to instantly capture data from our transaction system and deliver it wherever it's needed. This ability to move data instantly between heterogeneous systems has enabled us to create a zero-latency environment where sophisticated applications provide our customers with immediate access to their transaction information."
