ISYS Search Software Listed Among Top Search Companies in 2003 Search Technology Magic Quadrant

DENVER - April 29, 2003 - ISYS Search Software Inc., a global supplier of search software for businesses and public sector organizations, announced it has been included in Gartner Inc.'s 2003 Search Technology Magic Quadrant report, which was released this week by the research firm.

ISYS Search Software is ranked alongside some of the industry's top companies in the Niche category, which Gartner describes as companies that focus on a particular segment of the client base, as defined by characteristics such as size, vertical or project complexity. Their ability to outperform or innovate may be impacted by this narrow focus. All vendors listed in the Search Technology Magic Quadrant are evaluated using a variety of criteria that measure a company's vision and its ability to execute.

"As the search market heats up, ISYS is making a considered effort to build awareness and demonstrate the strengths of our sixth-generation technology," said Ian Davies, founder and managing director of ISYS Search Software. "Being listed among some of our top competitors in Gartner's report confirms these intentions and illustrates our ability to meet the needs of organizations operating in key vertical markets."

Gartner's permission to print or reference its Magic Quadrant should not be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant is Gartner's opinion and is an analytical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against Gartner-defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning of vendors within a Magic Quadrant is based on the complex interplay of many factors.

Gartner does not advise enterprises to select only those firms in the Leaders segment. In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or Niche Player segments may be the right match for an enterprise's requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rely on more than a Magic Quadrant. Gartner research is intended to be one of many information sources and the reader should not rely solely on the Magic Quadrant for decision-making.
