Founded in 1996, Tempest Software is a premier provider of technology that facilitates secure, standards-based information exchange over the Internet. Our mission is to develop and deliver products necessary to support mature e-business communication. We seek to make the Internet a safe, reliable environment for companies that need to increase their value chain efficiency and build virtual networks for partners, suppliers, customers and employees. Tempest Software is dedicated to creating and delivering technology that raises the standards of performance in Internet application exchange, both within and across organizational boundaries. This enables companies to build the network infrastructure necessary to succeed in the new e-business economy. As more companies seek to leverage the Internet to achieve business goals that include the rapid development of B2B exchanges and e-marketplaces, the need for secure, seamless and scalable information exchange over the Internet grows. Customers will demand products with high performance and maximum scalability to integrate easily with existing internal and third party systems. Of equal importance, these products must be easy to install and deploy, deliver rapid time to market, swift return on investment and increased revenue for the business user. This sector is expected to exceed $13 billion by 2003. Tempest is well positioned to take full advantage of this growing market, recognizing its vast potential early on. Tempest's flagship technology, awarded U.S. Patent No. 6,088,796 in July 2000, is based entirely on open Internet protocols and standards. It runs on all leading hardware platforms and supports all programming languages. Over 45 e-commerce and Global 2000 companies, across many industries, have adopted Tempest technology. Seamless, scalable and secure, SiteShield is the new "plug and play" software solution derived from our unique, proven technology. A leading entry in the security infrastructure market, SiteShield facilitates the secure exchange of information over the World Wide Web. The product allows companies to move their web servers behind their firewall and configure their firewall to deny inbound connections to their web servers. This permits controlled access to data and information assets on those web servers located safely behind the firewall. Headquartered in New York City's Silicon Alley, Tempest's corporate management team combines decades of software development and information technology experience with substantial business, sales and marketing expertise. The company has developed a culture combining technological innovation and market responsiveness, and is recognized as a creative and entrepreneurial place to work.
