monitoring and managing their most critical e-business applications.
Executing on its vision of providing real-time visibility
into the performance and availability of critical Web applications
and infrastructure systems, Wily has signed deals with many
new customers as well as expanded relationships with previously
signed customers. Wily also strengthened its strategic alliances,
expanded its partner ecosystem, and released eight new products
along with a significant upgrade to its flagship Introscope® management
solution. Quarterly sales increased significantly year over
year and set a new record for Q1.

enable these organizations to innovate more rapidly and to
manage the risks associated with application performance.
Expansion of Industry Alliances
In addition to adding marquee customers, Wily grew and strengthened
its partner ecosystem. Leading application platform providers
such as BEA, Fujitsu, IBM, JBoss, Oracle and Sun have customers
who demand the highest levels of application performance
and availability. These vendors look to Wily to provide the
tools, skills and practices to enable their customers to
achieve their performance and availability goals.
In the first fiscal quarter of 2004, Wily completed the
BEA Partner Validation Program, which ensures that customers
can easily integrate Wily's Introscope 5.0 with the BEA WebLogic® Platform
8.1. Furthermore, Wily and IBM have expanded their alliance
to now include application management support for IBM's family
of WebSphere® Business Integration and WebSphere® Portal
solutions. Wily continues to expand its breadth of platform
support and increased flexibility for customers by being
the first application management solution to support JBoss® Application
Server. Now customers have the power and visibility they
need to manage J2EE applications running on open source application
servers.

vision and innovation by releasing eight new products and
a major release of its flagship product, Introscope 5.0." said
