New York, NY - January 17, 2006

Orchestria Corporation, the global leader in software designed to manage risks associated with electronic communication, closed 2005 with nine new licensed customers, partnerships with five of the industry's largest archive vendors, and the largest available pre-built policy library, validating Orchestria 4.0 as the most sophisticated and comprehensive policy management solution available today.

In addition to significant new contracts, the decision by 90 percent of existing customers to expand their deployments of Orchestria contributed to the successful year. Current customers include many of the world's most sophisticated financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers, and an exclusive integration with Bloomberg® for real-time policy enforcement.

"The financial services industry was the first to archive e-mail and are now the early adopters to enforce message management policies," said Brian Babineau, analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "Orchestria has facilitated the transition from one of archiving to one of proactive e-mail management. Other industries will soon look to improve their message management capabilities. The flexibility and scalability of Orchestria's solutions will enable additional markets to leverage this exciting technology."

Orchestria has established partnerships with several of the world's largest archive vendors, including a recent announcement with Iron Mountain. By enhancing current archiving initiatives with a policy management solution that can accurately classify messages before storing them to the archive, companies can transform their archive from a mandated liability to a trusted source of compliant data.

Using proven, tested policy to accurately detect violations in electronic communication, Orchestria Pre-Built Policy enables organizations to minimize their time-to-compliance. Through continued collaboration with major financial services firms and industry experts, Orchestria offers over 250 pre-built policy packs, allowing firms to focus on solving their electronic communication issues versus having to figure out what they are in the first place.

Orchestria's solution received several acknowledgements in 2005 including: FORTUNE 25 Breakout Company of the year; Best Messaging Compliance Solution by readers of Waters magazine; Vendor of the year from Compliance Reporter; and most recently, the company was included in the MIS 100 from MIS Magazine.

In line with its increased activity, Orchestria hired a CFO to join the management team and recently opened a West Coast office bringing the current employee number to more than 120 people.

"Our role in mitigating risks associated with electronic communication has been validated by the financial services industry and leading analysts and experts," said Paul Johns, vice president of global marketing for Orchestria. "Today, we believe Orchestria possesses both the experienced management team and industry expertise needed to successfully expand markets in 2006."
