GoldenGate Expands EMEA Presence with New HQ Delivers Global Data Synchronization Platform to European Banking and Financial Leaders

Global institutions in finance and banking choose GoldenGate to synchronize data across diverse environments to meet high speed computing requirements and 24X7 up-time.

Sausalito, Calif. - May 19, 2003 - GoldenGate, a leader in Global Data Synchronization, today announced the expansion of its European presence to support a growing customer base from new European headquarters in the Netherlands. GoldenGate recently appointed Steve van den Berg as vice president, EMEA, managing sales, marketing and business development from Europe. With a strong base in the banking and financial services market, GoldenGate's large customers such as UK-based firms LINK Interchange Network and Alliance & Leicester now have direct support in the region. GoldenGate's office in Amsterdam will significantly expand sales and services capabilities as part of the company's overall global expansion strategy.

LINK, Europe's largest ATM Network and Alliance & Leicester, a major financial services group, rely on GoldenGate to synchronize high volumes of data at sub-second speeds. "With our large transaction volumes, the LINK Network must have an extremely reliable, high speed platform to synchronize data from our member institutions to a backup system," comments Steve Garlick, Systems Support Manager with LINK. "GoldenGate puts us in control of our infrastructure and enables us to respond in real-time. Their Global Data Synchronization platform enables us to scale quickly and efficiently as we grow our operations across Europe."

The LINK Interchange Network operates the busiest shared ATM system in the world, connecting over 41,400 machines — nearly every outlet in the UK — through 47 member institutions. Alliance & Leicester is one of the UK's largest financial services groups, offering a broad range of capabilities to personal, commercial and small business customers. Using GoldenGate, both firms can efficiently capture, transform, move and manage data both internally and outside the enterprise to suppliers, customers and partners.

"Their business demands for real-time operations are crucial. GoldenGate's speed and volume capabilities are unrivaled and our experience in the diverse computing environments in that market give EMEA customers a real advantage.
