The program serves companies interested in building and delivering solutions on StreamBase's CEP platform. StreamBase already has established technology partnerships with leading global technology companies including IBM (NYSE:IBM), Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), Red Hat Linux (NASDAQ: RHAT), Reuters, Sun (NASDAQ: SUNW), and Sybase (NYSE: SY).

"CEP has become increasingly important to IBM's customers in a number of markets," said Dr. Arvind Krishna, Vice President IBM Data Servers. "IBM is working strategically with StreamBase to meet these customer needs via solutions that integrate StreamBase's CEP engine with IBM's industry-leading data management products."

Accelerated demand for real-time event processing and analysis in diverse markets such as financial services, e-business, telecom, and government is driving fast growth in StreamBase's sales, services, and distribution channels. The StreamBase Partner Program delivers StreamBase's high-performance CEP software along with technical support, education, and marketing support to help drive partners' success. The program offers an easy three-step sign up process to allow partners to quickly and affordably establish a technology and business partnership with StreamBase. The standard StreamBase Partner Program, which can be renewed annually, enables partners to build and deliver solutions based on StreamBase's CEP platform. Partners enrolled in the standard program are eligible to enter into a separate distribution arrangement with StreamBase allowing them to resell or redistribute StreamBase software as part of their solution offerings.

"Our partners play a critical role in delivering and implementing the most powerful CEP applications," said Barry Morris, Chairman and CEO of StreamBase. "We've built into this new program all the tools, resources, and support our partners need to capitalize on the fast growth market for high-performance CEP. With our program, partners are able to more quickly delivever high-value, standards-based solutions to their customers which also are highly scalable and easily modified when business needs change. These relationships are not only of immense benefit to StreamBase and our clients, but also to the overall growth of the high-performance CEP industry. We are proud to announce that we have successfully signed up a number of key partners to this new program, and we expect dozens of new partners to join the program during this year."
