Prominent Industry and High-Tech Veterans Also Added to Attensity Board of Directors

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 6, 2007 - Attensity™, the leader in text analytics software for business intelligence, today announced that Colonel Carl R. Baker, an expert in law enforcement who recently retired from his position as chief of Virginia's Chesterfield County Police Department (CCPD), will join the company's government advisory board. Col. Baker's distinguished career includes service with the Army Corps of Engineers and Military Police, leadership roles in the New York and Virginia State Police organizations, and service as the deputy secretary of public safety for the Governor of Virginia.

"I'm pleased to join Attensity's very talented government advisory board," Col. Baker said. "The members of the board have impressed me with the range and depth of their insights into the federal government and military matters. I'm eager to offer my experience and knowledge in law enforcement as well as my experience with Attensity software."

Attensity LEADS, recently licensed by CCPD, enables their agents to access, analyze and organize data from freeform text – unstructured information stored in police reports, FBI reports, interaction logs, legal or case documents, and public information – to identify, investigate and impede criminal activity.

"Col. Baker's distinguished history in public service and law enforcement offers Attensity key insights into this critical market," Craig Norris, Attensity's CEO, said. "He understands the needs of those on the front line as much as those in the back office, and we're grateful to have him on the team."

Additionally, Attensity is adding two prominent industry and high-tech veterans to the board of directors: Vice-Admiral E.A. Burkhalter, Jr., U.S. Navy (Ret.) and Ronald F.E. Weissman, Ph.D.

Throughout his more than 30-year career in government, Admiral Burkhalter has held several high level positions in the research and production programs for the Department of Defense. Since his retirement, he has chaired panels for the Department of Defense, Department of Energy and led a government task force that addressed counterterrorism and counter narcotics for President George H. W. Bush. He is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and has been decorated by King Olaf of Norway. He is a graduate of the U.S. Navel Academy with a B.S. degree in engineering.

Most recently a partner at Apax Partners, Dr. Weissman is currently managing existing investments in Apax's venture portfolio as Apax recently changed its focus from venture to global buyouts. He serves on the boards of Attensity, Centerbeam, Chiliad, Composite Software, Nanomix and Solid Information Technology. He is a member of the Band of Angels and is an advisor to a number of early stage companies including Cataphora, Kalat and Modius and has served as advisor or board member to more than twenty-five other technology firms. As an investor, his emphasis is on enterprise and infrastructure software and services with a particular focus on applications of information retrieval and text analytics.

Dr. Weissman has more than 25 years experience in high technology operations and marketing. Prior to Apax, he was VP of global marketing and corporate development for Verity, a leader in enterprise information retrieval. He also spent more than five years at NeXT Computer, where he managed European and corporate marketing. A frequent conference speaker, he has published extensively on software trends and has been an advisor to many public and private organizations, including Apple, NeXT, Sun Microsystems, IBM and Microsoft as well as many departments of the U.S. government. He also co-authored the Academy of Public Administration/National Archives' study of the future of electronic recordkeeping in the federal government. He received his BA, MA, and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and a former Fulbright Scholar.
