3 Build Forge Who We Are Formed in January of Headquartered in Austin, Texas Acquired by IBM, May 2 nd, 2006, joining the Rational brand Addresses the challenges that exist in the build, test, and deployment phases of the software development process Highlights Build Forge releases version March 02 Named to prestigious SD Times Top May 05 & May 06 Validated Ready for IBM Rational - January 06 Proven results with marquis G2000 companies and ISV s

4 Build & Release Challenges Manual, error-prone build processes Proprietary, internally-developed build systems Inconsistent processes for different products and platforms Dependence on the build team for execution, status, and troubleshooting Separation of developer environments from production systems Difficult and time consuming to resolve problems Compliance Current Conditions Business Impact Unpredictable product release cycles Costly systems to support & maintain with knowledge held by few More work requires more people limited repeatability or portability for new projects and platforms Burdens staff and requires increased headcount to take on new projects Unreliable nightly and group builds Software build management increasingly impacts successful software deployments, business and IT productivity and is becoming a focus for IT organizations. - IDC

5 Build Forge - What We Do Build Forge provides an adaptive framework that allows development teams to standardize and automate repetitive tasks, share essential product information, and respond quickly to change. The Only Solution That Manages and automates complex processes across multiple platforms Provides a secure centralized role-based Web console Automates tracking across the software lifecycle Creates Intelligent Bill of Material for releases Accelerates build times using a tool-neutral approach Flexibly leverages existing development tools and processes Requires no proprietary scripting language to learn Enables Developer Self Service and Pre-flight build validation Implements flexible scheduling and continuous integration options Delivers a standardized, repeatable, and auditable way to execute and track build and release processes Build Forge shortens the product delivery lifecycle by 2 to 4x by enabling development organizations to develop, build, test, and deploy their products efficiently and reliably

6 Build Forge - What s Our Value We were able to improve from 18 builds per week to over 360 builds per week! Across 50 other projects, that will save us $25 Million annually! -- Adobe Customer results: higher productivity, improved quality, faster delivery, reduced cost Reduced cost of software delivery Through standardized processes, team efficiency, effective asset leverage and hardware usage Increased quality of products Delivered through reliable, repeatable processes and rapid error detection Decreased overall time to market Through more frequent, iterative development cycles Management & decision support By providing critical information about your build and release life cycle

7 Build Forge - Financial Impact Annual savings ranging from $250,000-$25M Customer CM Efficiency Developer Efficiency Quality / Error Reduction Return on Investment Over 90% 10-15% 51-70% < 3 months Over 90% 10-15% 51-70% < 3 months 80-90% 20-25% 80-90% < 6 months 21-25% 5-10% 26-50% < 6 months 51-70% 26-50% 51-70% < 3 months Source: Hurwitz & Associates

8 Build Forge - Business Benefits We discovered that new customers were able to achieve results similar to long-time customers. This validates Build Forge s claims that the product can be implemented and deployed in a relatively short period of time. -- Hurwitz & Associates
