San Francisco, CA - August 12, 2002 - Indigo Software, leader in Internet communications software, announced today that they have supplied Predictive Financial Technologies with a SIP-based Presence server solution that delivers powerful server management tools to IT managers and enables secure corporate instant messaging while still allowing the use of Microsoft Windows^® Messenger IM client.

Indigo Software solves a critical issue for small businesses by providing a solution which enables them to benefit from guaranteed security by bypassing public servers yet still use free instant messaging clients such as Microsoft Windows^® Messenger, among others. With their IM clients pointing to an Indigo presence server for message generation and encryption, progressive IT managers no longer have to contend with possible security breaches and with the added value of message logging and general authorization policy, they can now also configure the messaging service to suit their needs.

"We use instant messaging frequently as an important communications tool," said Paul Krsek, co-founder of Predictive Financial Technologies. "Being in the financial services market, we take security very seriously and we are pleased that we can continue to use the Windows^® Messenger client that we use today but now with true security."

"Predictive Financial Technologies' deployment of our secure corporate instant messaging solution confirms two critical needs we see in the market," said Joel Fisher, Head of Business Development, North America, Indigo Software. "Enterprises need secure instant messaging and they want to use a public IM client like Microsoft Windows^® Messenger so they can also communicate with external contacts. We expect to see additional deployments reaffirming these market needs."
