Rye, NY - March 21, 2007 - Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBI), a leading provider of comprehensive solutions for enterprise archiving and records management, will host a Webcast that will help Microsoft channel partners learn how to efficiently and cost effectively develop and implement applications that seamlessly access any enterprise content from the Microsoft SharePoint user interface.

(Register at https://events.livemeeting.com/mobius032907reg.htm.) Featured speaker Norm Thomas, Microsoft director of partner business development, will discuss how integration of Microsoft and Mobius technologies empowers organizations to efficiently and cost-effectively create, manage, store, and retrieve any kind of information in any repository

"In most organizations, electronically stored information is scattered in different repositories on different platforms," said Jim Biggs, Mobius vice president of channel sales. "This Webcast will show Microsoft channel partners how the integration of Mobius and Microsoft technologies delivers a best-in-class solution for managing and sharing content, enforcing records retention policies and improving business processes across the organization."

Integration of Mobius's Total Content Integrator (TCI) with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 gives users of SharePoint the ability to access all information stored in Mobius repositories, in SharePoint technology repositories and in any other repository, database, or file system in the enterprise. TCI, the premier solution for connecting any content source with any content user or application, addresses vital issues for solutions and services providers: the operational inefficiencies, erratic customer service quality and rising costs of using multiple proprietary tools and programming custom interfaces to integrate content with applications. TCI expands revenue generation and reduces the risks and costs of integrating content.

The Webcast will provide examples of how independent software vendors (ISV's), resellers and system integrators can deliver applications-loan processing, accounts payable, insurance claims processing, enterprise portals and more-that dynamically and securely access any information in the enterprise via the SharePoint interface.

Innovative Ideas and Trend-Setting Technology on Tap for 17th Annual Mobius Users Group Conference

Mobius — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:55:00 GMT

Conference features expert speakers, a program jam-packed with new technical sessions, and opportunities for sharing best practices

Rye, NY, December 20, 2006 - Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOBI), a leading provider of integrated solutions for enterprise archiving and records management, today announced that noted speaker and management consultant Barry Wishner, president of ProFormance, will present the keynote address and join a number of other thought leaders at the 2007 Mobius Users Group (MUG) conference, to be held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California, January 28-31.

Barry Wishner has been an advisor to some of America's most successful business leaders. In his keynote address, he will challenge conference delegates to question previously held assumptions about their roles in their organizations and their ability to affect change. Barry is a maverick and entrepreneur who has delivered keynote presentations for Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and General Electric and has interviewed more than 350 Fortune 500 CEO's. He will share his insights on the behaviors that comprise successful leadership and help MUG delegates understand how they can put these principles into practice to further both their own professional development and their companies' goals.

Complementing the keynote address, MUG will feature top business and IT leaders from a broad cross-section of industries, who will share their experiences in deploying enterprise archiving and records management solutions that ensure regulatory compliance and streamline business processes while dramatically reducing operational costs. Mobius customers, including Abbott Laboratories, Aetna, Aviall, Deutsche Postbank, KeyBank, SEI Investments, South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance, Summa Health Systems, Tarrant County, and the University of Missouri, will speak during breakout sessions. In addition to fresh customer presentations, the MUG program will feature many new technical sessions that focus on practical tips and techniques, as well as on the technologies that deliver compelling value to organizations today, including content integration, spreadsheet compliance, e-mail and records management, and integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

"Mobius pioneered the software market for document archiving and retrieval and, over the past 25 years, has helped shape the enterprise content management market," said Mauricio Barberi, senior vice president of marketing at Mobius. "The traditionally-defined ECM market, which has focused heavily on document management and collaboration, is fast becoming the province of Microsoft and other infrastructure vendors. As these elements of ECM become commoditized, the emphasis shifts squarely to high-volume archiving, search and retrieval, enterprise records and e-mail management, repository integration, storage integration, and data quality. At MUG 2007, we will work with customers and partners to reach a common understanding of the need for a true enterprise-wide system that can serve as the integrated archive of record; the need to apply retention management to all content items, not just those declared as traditional records; and the need for fast, flexible, secure access to records and content while ensuring their long-term integrity and availability. Through information-packed breakout and general sessions and numerous networking opportunities, conference delegates will come away with new insights into the practical and immediate applications of Mobius technology as well as a vision for the future."

Integrating Content Across the Enterprise

Reduce IT Costs and Improve Productivity with Web Standards-based Content Integration

An Introduction to Total Content Integrator

Executive Summary

Organizations are drowning in content. They don't know what they have and they can't find what they need when they need it. They are spending a lot of money to manage - or mis-manage -content with a hodgepodge of disconnected systems. They are at risk of legal and regulatory non-compliance and they are undermining business operations. The enterprise content that is a critical corporate asset is delivering little or no value.

Content management solutions that capture, manage, store, preserve, deliver and destroy content have been around for years. More accurately, systems that deliver partial solutions for managing content have been widely adopted. These are primarily stand-alone, departmental solutions that focus on document management and collaboration and that address only a fraction of the real enterprise content management challenge. Leading vendors have a broader perspective on content, providing integrated management of both the documents created by users at their desktops and the voluminous, diverse content produced by enterprise applications.

Today, driven by the need to reduce costs and by increasingly demanding requirements for regulatory and legal compliance, the enterprise content management (ECM) landscape is changing, with organizations seeking integrated solutions for all content, e-mail and traditional corporate records. Integrating all content in a single system will significantly reduce IT infrastructure costs by consolidating servers and eliminating software that the enterprise licenses and maintains. It will also simplify the environment for users who now need to learn and log on to only one system to retrieve the content they need. Mobius's market-leading ViewDirect® Repository is the most robust solution available for integrated archiving, featuring a highly scalable, high-performance engine that manages billions of items a year, provides complete security and access control, and guarantees the long-term integrity and availability of critical information assets.

But converting content from legacy content management systems may be time consuming and/or is a solution that provides a consolidated view of content in multiple, disparate repositories, utilizing an open architecture based on standard Web services to ensure interoperability across applications and computing platforms. This approach dramatically reduces the costs of desktop software by eliminating the need for multiple proprietary viewers to different content repositories and improves productivity by putting all content at users' fingertips. A robust content integration solution seamlessly and efficiently makes content available to users and delivers content to business applications across the organization. The resulting benefits are striking: reduced IT integration and maintenance costs, enhanced customer service, and accelerated decision making, time to market and revenue growth.

This paper examines the business and technical challenges of integrating disparate enterprise content and introduces Mobius's Total Content Integrator (TCI), a uniquely full-featured solution for accessing content from multiple sources.

Mobius Announces Partner Program Focused on Enterprise Content Integration

Mobius Announces Partner Program Focused on Enterprise Content Integration

Comprehensive program expands revenue opportunities and reduces costs for systems integrators and independent software vendors

Rye, NY - December 21, 2006 - Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOBI), a leading provider of integrated solutions for enterprise archiving and records management, today announced the "TCI Application Accelerator Program" (TAAP), a comprehensive program for systems integrators and independent software vendors (ISV's) that require integration of diverse content as a component of their core offerings. TAAP is based on Mobius's Total Content Integrator (TCI), the premier solution for connecting any content source with any content user or application. TCI addresses vital issues for solutions and services providers: the operational inefficiencies, erratic customer service quality and rising costs of using multiple proprietary tools and programming custom interfaces to integrate content with applications. TCI expands revenue generation and reduces the risks and costs of integrating content.

"Systems integrators and software developers that can integrate applications with any content stored anywhere in the enterprise have a competitive advantage," said Jim Biggs, Mobius vice president of channel sales and marketing. "They will generate significant new revenue and reduce their overall development and support costs. The weak link in many mission-critical applications has traditionally been the inability to connect users with all the available information. Using custom API-based coding to integrate repositories significantly drives up the costs of application development, support and maintenance. TCI solves this problem, providing seamless, out-of-the-box access to information located anywhere in the enterprise."

"To begin to effectively manage unstructured content with the same rigor as structured data, enterprises need to access content between repositories and other diverse applications," said Kenneth Chin, research vice president at Gartner, Inc. "Content integration provides access to a federation of unstructured content repositories (such as images, documents and video) that are dispersed throughout the enterprise. Application vendors that can cost effectively embed this functionality in their solutions will have a competitive advantage."

Approved TAAP participants receive a full range of software and services that enable the rapid implementation of content integration solutions. Program deliverables include:

Implementation services: Mobius technical resources to assist with internal and customer installations;
Training for all functions: sales, systems engineers, development, and customer support;
Use of the Mobius demonstration and development centers;
Dedicated business development support;
Discounts on TCI software and out-of-the-box repository adapters;
TCI software developer's kit (SDK) provided at no cost for adapter development.

"We are pleased to offer channel partners a unique solution for their content integration needs," Biggs added. "The TCI Application Accelerator Program will speed time to market and implementation while reducing costs and risk. These are compelling benefits for our partners."

Support for Mobius's TCI Application Accelerator Program

"By integrating TCI into our e4/ContentMiner application, we can provide a tool that enables users to search, retrieve and analyze content from different archives. This is a powerful capability for our customers and one that enhances the value of our application."

--- Stephan Schilling, CEO, Comline AG, Germany.

"Few software vendors understand the content integration needs of ISV's and systems integrators. Mobius's TCI Application Accelerator Program has what we need. The ability to easily implement functionality that connects applications with information no matter where it resides in the enterprise will create incremental services for us."

--- Desmond Dawson, CEO and president, Savail Consulting, Inc.

"Most organizations are finding it increasingly necessary to develop a coherent and consolidated view of information across the enterprise. By providing the ability for any application to access data from multiple sources and present that data back via a single, familiar user interface, TCI enables organizations to accelerate decision making and develop greater business agility. Further, by delivering a comprehensive, centrally controlled information management solution, TCI leverages investments in existing systems and supports a pragmatic replacement strategy."

-- Nigel Hopgood, Head of Compliance and Governance,
UK and Ireland, Sun Microsystems, Ltd.
