Xytech Systems Corporation, a leading provider of media asset and workflow management solutions, announced today it has earned Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq:MSFT) Front Runner status with its recent support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005. This provides Xytech Systems' customers with the ability to upgrade servers that are running the Xytech Enterprise software to SQL Server 2005 and thereby take advantage of the latest database enhancements enabled in this new SQL Server release.

SQL Server 2005 is the next-generation data management and analysis software that will deliver increased scalability, availability, and security to enterprise data and analytical applications while making them easier to create, install, and manage.

"Microsoft has always been committed to the success of our broad ISV partner community and will continue to rely heavily on that community to drive innovative solutions to market," says Pradeep Rathinam, general manager, U.S. ISV Strategy, U.S. Partner Group, Microsoft. He continues, "The Front Runner program was designed to provide our partners with the best development environment possible and give them the technical and marketing tools they need to be successful over the long term."

Ron Peeters, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Xytech Systems, comments, "Xytech Systems is excited to be on the leading edge with its early support for SQL Server 2005 because many of our customers have been looking forward to this milestone database release. The recognition from Microsoft Corporation as a Front Runner reinforces the alignment of our latest software release 8.5 with the availability of SQL Server 2005. This uniquely positions us to help our customers get the most from their technology investment."

Visitors to IBC 2006 will be able to see Xytech Enterprise v8.5 in action in hall 7, stand 141 (7.141).
