GoldenGate Software Releases Veridata 1.0

Verifies Data Accuracy across Active Databases to Support Disaster Recovery, Compliance, Auditing

San Francisco, Calif - August 29, 2005 - GoldenGate Software Inc., the leading provider of transactional data management solutions, today announced the availability of GoldenGate Veridata™, a powerful new solution for comparing data between active databases. Veridata rapidly compares large volumes of dynamic data to identify and report discrepancies, without interruption to ongoing business processes. The patent-pending technology streamlines database comparison, to ensure the accuracy of an organization's mission-critical data.

"More and more organizations are driven by regulatory compliance and required to run reports that show the data is reliable," according to Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst, Donna Scott. "Organizations also need assurance that their contingency Disaster Recovery sites will be up to date and in sync with the latest transaction in the event of an unplanned outage. Data inaccuracy or lack of synchronization holds inherent risk for the enterprise, and not knowing is nearly as dangerous."

The cost of inaccurate or lost data can have a ripple effect throughout a business with significant financial implications. With increasingly aggressive service level agreements and compliance regulations, ensuring data accuracy and availability from the "inside" is a challenge. In fact, many businesses may not even be aware of data discrepancies across their organization. Veridata generates instant reports on data needing repair, enabling users to take immediate action.

According to Carl Baylis, Assistant Director, Montefiore Medical Center / Emerging Health Information Technology, "When your doctors and patients are relying on a system to deliver care in a paperless environment, that system needs to be industrial strength. In matters of life and death, downtime is not an option. Montefiore and EHIT can deliver extremely reliable POE systems and services because of using GoldenGate to provide continuous availability. With GoldenGate Veridata, we can have the peace of mind that our secondary system is up to date and highly reliable," added Baylis.

Product features include:

• Unparalleled speed and efficiency - Veridata compresses data for speed and efficiency, with minimal impact to the system and network infrastructure.
• Comparisons while both data sources are online - Veridata is the only solution that compares databases in-use without interrupting business operations.
• Flexible reporting for varying roles and access levels - Veridata reports can be customized to support varying roles, responsibilities and access levels.
• Support for large volumes of data - Veridata is designed to accommodate large volumes of dynamic data across different business applications.
• Selective comparison - Unlike an all-or-nothing approach, Veridata compares selected datasets between multiple data sources.
• Unattended execution - Veridata provides an intuitive web-based user interface, reducing effort and minimizing the introduction of human errors.

"Data is the lifeblood of any business and there is a serious cost associated with data inconsistencies across different systems within the enterprise," said Ali Kutay, president and CEO of GoldenGate. "Our existing Fortune 500 customers communicated a real need to guarantee data accuracy as it is moved or modified throughout the organization. Previous reporting methods were slow, clumsy or worse, unreliable. With Veridata, businesses know that data across their enterprise is fully accurate and gain something even more valuable; peace of mind."

In addition to Veridata, GoldenGate provides solutions that support mission-critical initiatives such as high availability and disaster recovery, high performance distributed computing, transactional data integration, and compliance.
