Troux Technologies Partners with RHE Associates; Expands Global Reach in Australia, New Zealand

Initial Internal Deployment Leads to Distributor Agreement

Austin, Texas — April 3rd, 2006 — Troux Technologies, a leader in Actionable Enterprise ArchitectureTM (EA) and IT Governance (ITG) solutions, and RHE Associates, a leading IT consulting and services organization serving Australia and New Zealand, today announced a distributor agreement, extending Troux's Actionable EA solutions and best practices to both countries. Through this partnership, Troux expands its global reach and RHE is able to meet the growing demand for proven EA solutions that align IT with business needs.

“Point solutions, which offer siloed data and cannot show the relationships between various data types, do not offer the value that today's competitive organizations demand,” said Michael Ellyett, director of technology and strategy for RHE Associates. “Businesses are seeking new EA solutions - exemplified by Troux's Metis - that bridge current and future states to drive transformation. We are pleased to formalize this partnership and offer Troux Metis as the EA solution of choice in our integrator and reseller businesses.”

RHE Associates initially evaluated Troux's Metis Enterprise when selecting an EA strategy to drive precision and efficiency into its own internal processes and practices. Following an extensive selection process, RHE Associates selected Troux's Metis based on its ability to move outside of traditional IT silos to adapt to dynamic environments and scale to accommodate growth. Using Troux, RHE Associates can provide its customers with the capabilities to model the future state as well as the current enterprise state. Troux quickly demonstrated its value as a key component of communicating and visualizing RHE's methodology internally and has already proven to be a competitive differentiator for its business.

“EA and IT Governance initiatives are on the rise globally, and through this agreement with RHE, we are pleased to offer Troux EA and IT Governance solutions to organizations throughout Australia and New Zealand,” said James Rogers, chief marketing officer for Troux Technologies. “RHE is a partner who understands how now more than ever, enterprises need Actionable EA solutions as a part of an EA practice that demonstrates value to the business.”
