REDWOOD CITY, CA - June 10, 2004 - Syndera Corporation, an early stage software company that provides an Operational Intelligence solution, today announced that it has been named a winner of the Investors' Choice award at Enterprise Outlook 2004, a private equity conference for the enterprise software market held last week in Redwood City, California. Enterprise Outlook is produced by VentureWire, a news service covering venture capital and high-tech startups that is published by Dow Jones Newswires. The Investors' Choice award is given to the ten companies, among 65 presenting at Enterprise Outlook, judged most likely to succeed.

"To have been selected from such an impressive group of start-ups confirms our belief that the industry is ready for a new type of solution, what we are calling 'Operational Intelligence.'"

Investors' Choice award winners were selected from the 65 privately-held companies that presented their business plans at the conference. The awards were based on voting by the audience of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry executives, as well as by a panel of experts, including John Balen, general partner, Canaan Partners; Peter Coleman, principal, equity research, Schwab Soundview Capital Markets; Dennis Rourke, partner, investment banking, America's Growth Capital; and Michael Skok, general partner, North Bridge Venture Partners.
