MuseGlobal Named a CRN Emerging Tech Vendor.

July 14, 2008

San Francisco, CA — July 14, 2008 — MuseGlobal, provider of award-winning content integration platforms worldwide, today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Tech vendor. CRN's Emerging Tech list captures companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology.

MuseGlobal provides comprehensive content integration technology; including content federation, transformation, source maintenance, security, enhancement and delivery. MuseGlobal's technology is distributed almost exclusively through OEM and channel partnerships.

Leading publishers, online services, technology companies and enterprises partner with MuseGlobal to seamlessly integrate limitless content sources into their applications and services. Using MuseGlobal, OEM partners can rapidly deliver comprehensive, revenue-generating applications without the substantial overhead of in-house development. MuseGlobal's extensive list of partners and impressive growth secured its spot on the CRN Emerging Tech Vendors list.

According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to other products in the market segment; the technology compliments a solution providers' existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In addition, 61 percent of solutions providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months.

"New and innovative vendor partners can help spur profitable new ideas that Solution Providers can use to build revenue and customer loyalty, and the CRN Emerging Tech list is where Solution Providers go to find these vendors," said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel editorial.

Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company's revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.

"For MuseGlobal, the growth of our partner program is a true testament to the flexibility, and reach of our technology," said Kristina Bivins, president, MuseGlobal. "The span of our partnerships highlights the industry-wide need for a complete content integration solution. MuseGlobal is honored to have our extensive work with OEM partners recognized by CRN."
