Growing demand for legacy integration solutions in South Africa

CommerceQuest SA, takes Jacada's solution set on board

LONDON, October 1, 2003 – Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCDA), the leading provider of legacy integration and Web-to-host solutions, has extended and strengthened its Global network of distributors with a key appointment in South Africa.

CommerceQuest SA (Pty) Limited in South Africa joins Jacada's Global distributor network. As a specialist systems integrator and middleware solutions provider CommerceQuest SA is looking to strengthen its position to supply total solutions in Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Business Integration markets through software development and the implementation of middleware and technical infrastructure.

"I believe the opportunity in South Africa for Jacada's solutions is huge," says Alex Steyn, managing director of CommerceQuest SA. "The South African market is seeing a massive take-up in CRM, call centres and substantial growth in the financial services market. Having implemented these new solutions, organisations are now wrestling with the issue of integrating their legacy environments to enable use of that data in customer facing activities."

"If Integration capability is becoming the currency that's driving the IT solutions market, then access to legacy systems is proving to be the new Gold standard," says Mike Warner, Managing Director of Jacada Europe. "CommerceQuest SA has huge respect both in the IBM community and amongst its customers and we see them as the perfect partner to gain leverage from our best of breed credentials in legacy integration."
