Microsoft Reseller Agreement and Dotfuscator Gold

Cleveland, Ohio - October 1, 2007 PreEmptive Solutions announced that it is now a Microsoft reseller and technology partner offering support for Microsoft's Software License and Protection Services (SLPS).

"We are pleased that, as a leading application security supplier in its own right, PreEmptive Solutions recognized the significance of SLPS to the application development marketplace," said Thomas Lindeman, Group Product Manager, Software Licensing and Protection Services Group, Microsoft, Inc. "As a Microsoft SLPS reseller and technology partner, PreEmptive Solutions has demonstrated commitment and market leadership."

PreEmptive Solutions also announced the immediate availability of Dotfuscator Gold; a unique solution that injects security, analytics and monetization services into applications with little or no programming required. "TMW is the world's largest provider of enterprise management software solutions for the trucking industry," said Andrew Craze, Director of Architecture at TMW. "Microsoft SLPS and Dotfuscator Gold offer a powerful means to protect, measure and monetize our applications. We view PreEmptive Solutions' instrumentation platform for commercial software development as game-changing."

According to Gartner, Inc. "the increasing use of intermediate language representations (such as Java and .NET) enables hackers to easily reverse-engineer intellectual property (IP) embedded in software, but also enable security protection to be injected into the application without requiring the developers to modify the source code," in "Hype Cycle for Information Security, 2007", September 2007, Joseph Feiman; Neil MacDonald, et al.

"We have seen a sharp increase in demand for solutions that improve application security, extend business intelligence to include application usage, and offer a more reliable means to manage application licensing," said Gabriel Torok, President, PreEmptive Solutions. "What has been even more striking is the market response to our integration of these services with one another and into existing Software Development Lifecycles (SDLC) via Microsoft's Visual Studio."

"PreEmptive Solutions is proud to be the first reseller to offer Microsoft SLPS on a worldwide basis and to be the only supplier at this time to offer premium support for this important addition to the Microsoft product line," said Sebastian Holst, SVP Sales and Marketing, PreEmptive Solutions. "With over 1,000 .NET ISV's in our existing client base in addition to being a global ISV ourselves, we know how complex a home grown licensing solution can be." Holst continued, "As users ourselves, we also know how effective Microsoft SLPS can be. We are excited to offer this valuable service to application developers everywhere."
