CATALINA MARKETING WINS 2007 DM REVIEW INNOVATIVE SOLUTION AWARD WITH NETEZZA APPLIANCE

Catalina Marketing Recognized for Implementing Netezza Appliances to Revolutionize its Enterprise Data Warehouse and Better Serve its Customers

Framingham, Mass. — November 15, 2007 — Netezza Corporation (NYSE Arca: NZ), the global leader in analytic appliances, today announced that Catalina Marketing, the global leader in behavioral marketing, won DM Review’s 2007 Innovative Solution Award for the “business intelligence” category. Catalina Marketing, a Netezza customer since 2005 and a founding member of the Netezza Developer Network, has continued to expand its Netezza implementation, leveraging the appliances for business intelligence analyses as well as advanced, predictive analytics.

The competitive field for the award included 89 entries submitted in nine categories, from which only ten winners were chosen. Catalina Marketing won the business intelligence Innovative Solution award for overcoming serious IT bottlenecks in its legacy data warehouse environment. Once the company migrated its enterprise data warehouse environment to Netezza’s data warehouse appliance, Catalina Marketing gained significant speed increases in its access to over 500 billion rows of shopper data, and more detailed insights into consumer behavior. The dramatic improvements of the Netezza appliance in performance and ease of use enabled Catalina Marketing to run 70 times the number of queries on five times the amount of data when compared to its previous legacy data warehouse system. Based on these results, Catalina Marketing also routinely uses the Netezza appliance to perform advanced, predictive analytics on shopping basket data for its retail and CPG customers.

“We’re honored to receive this prestigious award from DM Review,” said Eric Williams, executive vice president and CIO for Catalina Marketing, and recent winner of CIO of the Year by the Tampa Bay Technology Forum. “Information is key to our business, and through the use of Netezza’s innovative appliance approach, we were able to streamline our data warehouse and improve performance across the board. This award highlights our commitment to providing our customers with the most up to date and comprehensive information possible. The performance, speed and simplicity of the Netezza system have allowed us to enhance our offerings, and provide more comprehensive services to our customers.”

The system’s advantage comes from its patented streaming architecture design. Netezza has placed processing power next to the data, so analysis occurs at the source at streaming speeds, delivering an unprecedented 10-100 times the performance of traditional systems at a fraction of the cost. Analyses that took days now take just seconds. This means a dramatic increase in productivity across the enterprise and faster time to value for business initiatives. Netezza appliances are changing the way organizations leverage information, creating a powerful analytic foundation for a new generation of business analytics that improve strategic decision-making and drive results.

“We’re pleased to congratulate Catalina Marketing as a DM Review Innovative Solution Award winner,” said Jit Saxena, chairman and CEO of Netezza. “Forward-thinking companies like Catalina understand that the Netezza appliance is a catalyst for change, allowing these companies to look at their data and their customers and operations in ways they had not been able to do previously, truly transforming the way they do business.”
