Datawatch Ships Monarch Version 9 French Edition: Localized Version Extends Enhancements of the World’s Leading Report Mining and Analysis Solution to French-speaking Users

Chelmsford, MA - February 12, 2008 - Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM), today announces the immediate availability of Monarch Version 9, French edition. With Monarch V9, Datawatch builds on its acclaimed report mining and analysis solution by offering key new functionality such as faster Excel exporting, Microsoft SharePoint® collaboration, exporting to Open XML spreadsheets and support for Microsoft® Windows Vista™; all of which empower companies to further increase productivity by extracting maximum value from data that already exists within their organization.
“According to World Bank and IMF figures, France is the third-largest economy in Europe after Germany and the United Kingdom. With the release of Monarch V9 French edition, we can capitalize on our installed base in France, Switzerland, Belgium and the French-speaking provinces of Canada to deliver the same market-leading solution that is already helping U.S.-based organizations gain a competitive advantage,” said John Kitchen, senior vice president and CMO for Datawatch. “We’re very pleased to meet the demands of our French-speaking customers for the latest version of our world-leading report mining solution, including enhanced Excel functionality, better analytical power, collaborative tools, improved report mining and more.”

Monarch allows users to easily extract and export data from existing reports such as those generated from SAP and other critical systems—without programming—so that it can be analyzed in their native French language. Monarch Pro offers all of the functionality of the Standard Edition, while also allowing users to combine and import data from additional data sources, such as databases or spreadsheets, as well as to extract data from HTML or PDF files.

Based on recent Datawatch surveys, more than 95 percent of Monarch customers use Monarch with Microsoft Excel. With this latest version of Monarch, users will benefit from the dramatically increased speed of Excel exports as well as Open XML spreadsheet support, which allow users to take full advantage of the new functionality and dramatically increased spreadsheet capacity of Excel 2007. Additional key Monarch V9 features include advanced PDF report publishing, improved PDF mining (Monarch Pro only), customizable user-defined functions, increased database functionality (Monarch Pro only) and more.
