Interactive Corporation (NASDAQ:MERQE), the global leader in
business technology optimization (BTO) software, announced Mercury

integrated suite of BTO offerings designed to help customers
optimize the business outcomes of IT. As part of Mercury BTO

Mercury has invested approximately half a billion dollars in
business technology optimization research and development,
strategic partnerships and acquisitions -- Mercury BTO Enterprise
is the sum total of this investment," said Tony Zingale, president
and chief operating officer at Mercury. "We believe the new
integrations and offerings will help our customers maximize the
value of using our IT governance, application delivery and
application management offerings together to produce high quality
business outcomes from IT." The Mercury BTO Enterprise software
suite is designed to help business and IT executives gain the
control and visibility they need to deliver more consistent,
predictable and measurable business outcomes from IT. Mercury BTO
Enterprise can also help disparate IT teams such as program and
portfolio managers, quality and performance assurance managers,
business analysts, and IT operations teams to work in a more
effective manner by integrating and automating key functions across
IT governance, application delivery, and application management.
Customers can also use Mercury BTO Enterprise to establish a
lifecycle approach to control application changes from demand
through production and manage application performance from testing
through production. "Mercury BTO Enterprise is the largest product
launch in Mercury history," said Yuval Scarlat, senior vice
president of products at Mercury. "We are introducing more than 20
new product releases with multiple enhancements across all
optimization centers. In addition, we are excited about our plans
to deliver the new versions of Mercury Optimization Centers and the
new application lifecycle offerings through Mercury Managed
Services(TM) which will help decrease time-to-value for our
customers' IT initiatives." Mercury BTO Enterprise is comprised of
new application change and performance lifecycle offerings as well
as updates to Mercury IT Governance Center(TM), Mercury Quality
Center(TM), Mercury Performance Center(TM), and Mercury Business
Availability Center(TM). The new offerings in the Mercury BTO
Enterprise include: * Mercury Application Change Lifecycle: an
integrated offering that can help customers manage application
changes from demand through production in order to mitigate the
risk of changes disrupting business outcomes. This new offering can
help automate the process of capturing change requests, assessing
change impact, testing and deploying changes, and monitoring
application changes in production. Mercury Application Change
Lifecycle is comprised of integrations between Mercury IT
Governance, Application Delivery, and Application Management
software products and services. * Mercury Application Performance
Lifecycle: an integrated offering that can help customers ensure
that application performance will meet business requirements and
help mitigate the risk and cost of application downtime. This
offering can help customers test, diagnose and manage application
performance from pre-production through production. This offering
will enable customers to share assets, testing scripts, diagnostics
information, and real-user production data between Mercury
Performance Center, Mercury Diagnostics(TM), and Mercury Business
Availability Center. * Mercury IT Governance Center 7.0: an
integrated offering that helps customers gain visibility and
control over the demands made of IT, manage the portfolio of IT
projects, and ultimately help measure the business outcomes of

quality management and testing across a wide range of application
environments to help confirm that business-critical applications
will function and deliver the required business outcomes. * Mercury

resolve performance bottlenecks that could impair business results
once applications are deployed. * Mercury Business Availability
Center 6.0: an integrated offering that helps customers manage
applications from a business perspective and helps identify and
resolve problems in production before they impact business results.
"We see an increase in accountability for companies to arm both
business and IT executives with the right solutions to ensure they
can maximize the business results from their IT initiatives," said
Theresa Lanowitz, research director at Gartner, Inc. "Disparate IT
groups such as non-technical experts, business analysts, quality
managers, portfolio managers and IT operations teams need to work
together in a unified and integrated fashion to produce more
predictable business results from IT. Ultimately, companies will
prioritize investments in the areas of IT that help them work on
the right initiatives, ensure these initiatives will meet the
business requirements and deliver the right business outcomes."
