/n software Announces New Licensing for its Communications Adapter Suite Targeting Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 and BizTalk Server 2006

San Francisco, CA, November 7th, 2005 - /n software inc. (www.nsoftware.com) - announces a new pricing structure for its fully-managed suite of secure communications adapters for Microsoft BizTalk Server. The new licensing structure consolidates all of the /n software adapters into a single adapter suite and provides lower entry points for small and medium sized business that deploy Standard Editions of Microsoft BizTalk Server. Furthermore, a zero cost entry point is now available for businesses deploying Microsoft BizTalk Server for connecting to a single partner or hub.

"Small and mid-market businesses use different metrics when evaluating B2B integration projects." said Eric Madariaga, Marketing Director at /n software. "Often mid-market companies are forced into technology adoption by a larger partner and are left with the difficult choice between brittle homegrown connectivity solutions, and overly-complex, expensive, monolithic solutions. The new licensing structure of the /n software Adapter suite fills a critical market need, offering a low cost entry point for B2B integration using Microsoft BizTalk Server."

"We are excited that /n software will deliver its Adapters for Microsoft BizTalk Server for small and medium-sized businesses with enterprise connectivity requirements." said Steven Martin, Director of the BizTalk Server product group at Microsoft Corp. "The adapters, including the free Starter Edition, provide an easy-to-use entry point for companies with secure e-business messaging requirements such as AS2 integration."

The /n software Adapters extend the features of Microsoft BizTalk Server with advanced Internet communications and security capabilities. The adapters seamlessly integrate into the Microsoft BizTalk Server messaging pipeline and support full integration with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET for creating and managing BizTalk Server orchestrations.

The /n software Adapter suite currently includes the following adapters for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 and BizTalk Server 2006:

• /n software AS2 Adapter - eBusinessReady™ Certified AS2 (EDI-INT) Adapter.
