Press Release

LiveTime Software first to deploy IBM DB2 Support for Java based Help Desk and Service Desk Applications

LiveTime Software to ship IBM DB2 UDB v8.2-compatible version of its flagship J2EE Help Desk and Support Desk applications
Newport Beach - October 24, 2005 - LiveTime Software, a leading provider of Service Desk solutions, today announced its upcoming release of LiveTime Version 3.7 fully supports IBM DB2 UDB v8.2 running on the UNIX, Linux and Windows platforms. The release also includes strengthened support for IBM's WebSphere J2EE web application server.

"LiveTime is the only Service Desk application on the market that will natively deploy inside the WebSphere J2EE server and run against a DB2 UDB RDBMS," said Dr George Vossos, Chief Technology Officer of LiveTime Software.

Historically, organizations that standardized its technology platform on IBM J2EE were forced to use non-J2EE, client-server service desk software to run its Service Desk operations. This created a maintenance nightmare for IT staff, as they were required to integrate, synchronize, and tune the mission critical service desk application across various platforms and components.

Within a matter of hours, LiveTime Help Desk and LiveTime Support Desk can be deployed on any J2EE environment, including WebSphere. Out of the box functionality includes service level management, knowledge base, client portal, management reporting, escalation and notification engine. The announcement to support DB2 UDB provides LiveTime customers with the most advanced J2EE web server and RDBMS support in the industry.

LiveTime enhancements to its DB2 connector significantly improves an organization's ability to deploy and operate a high throughput, high performing Service Desk, across the IBM technology stack. LiveTime's Vossos championed expanded support for DB2 and WebSphere as a clear choice for IBM customers. "LiveTime's support for DB2 UDB is a new and attractive option for any organization that wants to take advantage of the high performance IBM J2EE platform. LiveTime continues to demonstrate clear leadership as it provides fully integrated and optimized interfaces to industry leading enterprise services, including IBM DB2, at no additional cost to its customers."
