DUBLIN--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Avout and iQuate are pleased to announce a partnership that will
directly help Oracle customers optimize their Oracle Licensing Spend and reduce exposure to the financial and
operational risks associated with incorrect licensing.

In July 2010, iQuate’s flagship product - iQSonar - became the first third-party tool to be verified by Oracle LMS,
as having the level of accuracy needed to support an effective Oracle license management process. iQSonar is an
agentless, automated software tool that rapidly discovers all Oracle instances on a company’s network and provides
all the detailed technical information needed to accurately determine an exact licensing position.

With extensive experience of Oracle licensing, Avout provides comprehensive and valuable advice so its customers
can optimize their Oracle investment while remaining compliant. The partnership with iQuate allows Avout to base
this advice on consistent, accurate and timely inventory and usage data.

“Our clients can spend months doing this manually and they still can’t get accurate information – until we
bring in iQSonar.iQuate’s iQSonar creates a great opportunity for customers, especially those with large,
complex Oracle installations, to get control over their Oracle license situation .” agreed Barry Wiebe, CEO
Avout. “With iQSonar, we have an accurate license inventory, often within days.Then with Avout’s extensive
experience and deep expertise with Oracle, we will advise you how to maximize your current investment and
more effectively license in the future.” adds Lisa Wright, Avout VP of Oracle Products.

”Avout have gained a well-earned reputation amongst the Oracle community for their knowledge, expertise
and professionalism.”, commented Pat Durkin, CEO iQuate, “We are privileged to be partnering with such
a well-respected organisation as we feel that their skills, combined with iQSonar’s renowned levels of
performance and accuracy – especially over large and complex networks – will deliver significant benefits
for Oracle customers. “
