MANAGE EDISCOVERY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PROCESSES
ACROSS ITS GLOBAL ENTERPRISE

Mimosa NearPoint Chosen for its Next Generation Architecture to Solve Critical
Email Archiving Requirements

Santa Clara, Calif. - June 28, 2006 - Mimosa SystemsT, Inc., a leader in unified information management solutions, today announced that Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS), a premier provider of diversified business process outsourcing and information technology outsourcing solutions, has selected Mimosa NearPointT to replace its existing email archiving and eDiscovery solution for enterprise users. ACS turned to Mimosa based on NearPoint's next generation architecture to support management of email as a record of business.

At ACS, a Global Fortune 500 company of over 55,000 employees supporting client operations reaching nearly 100 countries, managing email information is critical to meet legal requirements for enforcement of company policies and discovery of email. ACS needed a solution that could scale and manage the amount of data captured while minimizing the impact on its email systems and people resources.

"Mimosa offered us the most complete solution on the market, with the comprehensive capture of email information combined with high performance search and eDiscovery," explained Bill Augustadt, CTO of Application Managed Services, ACS, Inc. "With Mimosa, ACS has gained a strategic solution to enforce company policies for retention of content and to support legal discovery processes, all while boosting user productivity. Mimosa NearPoint is unique in the way it fits seamlessly into our existing production environment without relying on journaling and MAPI technologies for full data capture."

ACS' legal team looked at other leading email archiving solutions during the review process and concluded that Mimosa offered the most comprehensive email archiving and legal discovery solution backed by revolutionary technology. The primary reasons ACS cites in selecting Mimosa NearPoint include:

• Complete Search Results - Mimosa NearPoint's unique full data capture with complete message fidelity and context enables powerful search of messaging systems. It also enables exploration of relationships amongst items such as conversation threads and item history as well as recreation of point-in-time snapshots of mailboxes or folders.
• Reduced Discovery Costs - Mimosa eDiscovery accelerates legal discovery processes enabling legal teams to perform multi-level online searches, and collaborate, share, review and export results.
• Increased User Productivity - With fast, seamless search and access to all historical email information right from Outlook, ACS' business users now have the tools to enhance decision-making and speed the flow of information.
• No Production Email Disruption - Mimosa NearPoint avoids time consuming and costly restructuring of the existing messaging infrastructure required to deploy journaling. This, along with the "zero-agent" architecture, dramatically reduces the time for deployment of archiving.

"Mimosa is enthusi astic to partner with this highly respected global enterprise. We look forward to working with ACS as they use NearPoint to address the expanding email information management needs of their end-users as well as their legal, security and IT staff," said T.M. Ravi, president and CEO Mimosa Systems, Inc. "Mimosa NearPoint provides ACS a strategic platform to manage critical user-generated knowledge assets across the enterprise as their needs grow and evolve."
