Carillon Expands IBM Partnership Role With Addition of DB2 Support; IBM Mainframe Database Is Newest Platform Supported

RICHARDSON, TX, November 16, 2005 -- Carillon Financials Corporation ("Carillon") announced today that its ERP and CRM systems now support all platforms of IBM's DB2 Universal Database. Used by small and large businesses on PCs to Mainframes, DB2 has previously been ignored by many SMB ERP systems. Carillon now provides IBM DB2 customers in need of real-time ERP software with a leading ERP package without switching to Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle. Carillon's DB2 Edition has all of the functionality of its Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server Editions.
 
"Discussions with potential customers using DB2 led us to realize that many of our competitors do not support IBM's Universal Database," explained Larry R. Pettit, President and CEO of Carillon. "IBM's customers were feeling forced to acquire other vendor's relational databases to meet their ERP requirements. Carillon will now allow DB2 customers to stay with their chosen database, making integration with other operational systems far more seamless and easier to develop and maintain."

IBM's DB2 Universal Database is a powerful database management system that delivers a flexible platform to build robust on-demand business applications. Carillon's real-time award-winning ERP offerings, combining superior functionality with custom-tailored features as required by the client, make it the ideal software to support businesses that use DB2. Carillon's DB2 Edition is available for immediate installation.
