Press release from the issuing company

June 22, 2006 – Charlestown, Massachusetts and Appenzell, Switzerland – GMC Software Technology, the New Standard in personalized customer communications, today announced that its entire worldwide group of development, sales and support offices has been granted full ISO 9001:2000 certification. “We are very proud of this achievement,” stated Dr. René Müller, CEO of GMC Software Technology. “Our ISO 9001:2000 certification is part of a Total Quality Initiative that we started in our software development facilities to ensure that our customers get a first-class, highly reliable product planned and developed with their requirements in mind. The extension of this certification to all our companies has helped us in establishing a clear structure and responsibilities in our sales and support operations; so that we are better able to offer a higher level of consultative services and technical support to our customers and partners.” GMC Software Technology’s investment in its Total Quality program, including ISO 9001:2000 certification and the implementation of Carnegie-Mellon Institute’s CMMI methodology nearly four years ago, has been instrumental in the company’s ability to deliver a very stable, trouble-free product as well as to quickly incorporate new functionality and features to address evolving market and customer requirements. “We see our employment of CMMI methodology and ISO 9001:2000 certification as important differentiators over similar products offered by our competitors,” continued Dr. Müller. “Our Total Quality program has played a very significant role in driving our growth and in solidifying strong partnerships with all the leading technology providers in the world.” GMC Software Technology’s PrintNet software is a completely integrated suite of variable document design and composition, process automation, on-line collaboration and approval, output management, and web services software solutions.
