PRESS RELEASE
South African Alexander Forbes chose Mimer SQL for their financial
services solution
Uppsala, Sweden - September 6 15 2005 -

Alexander Forbes in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a leading provider of
financial and risk services internationally. 
After a thorough database evaluation Alexander Forbes chose to use 
Mimer
SQL from Swedish database vendor Mimer Information Technology 
for their HP OpenVMS-based pension and provident management 
system.

Alexander Forbes business strategy is to deliver fast and efficient
local services to their customers. Their pension and provident
management systems play an important role in this strategy, where
performance and high availability are crucial. One such system has its
data ISAM stored, yet this system's data must be shared with their
clients through the web and call centre. To meet these requirements,
Alexander Forbes is to make use of the Mimer SQL database 
management
system on the HP OpenVMS AlphaServer.

"We evaluated multiple options to establish a reliable data repository
that could provide data to our multiple technology environments with 
the
smallest impact to our existing development operations. It was a
positive surprise to us when we found out that Mimer SQL could offer 
us,
a technically feasible solution based on skills transformation and a low
total cost of ownership (TCO), due to its high performance, ease-of-use
and affordable license fees, in relation to other technologies
evaluated." says Clinton Tamine, Project Manager , Alexander Forbes.
"The Mimer SQL option will make it possible for us to deliver fast and
efficient services to our customers."

Headquartered in Sweden, Mimer has a long track record in providing 
high
performance database server technology for mission critical systems all
over the world. 

"Alexander Forbes made a thorough database evaluation for their new
system. We are of course very pleased that they based their choice of
Mimer SQL as database server for their mission critical system on both
technical and commercial reasons." says Stefan Eck, Product Manager,
Mimer Information Technology. "We see a big potential for Mimer SQL on
the South African market, and we have several new customers in the
pipeline."
