- 24% won't consider a SaaS provider that experienced a major performance issue.

The Webinar will also feature remarks from Keynote's director of Web performance consulting, Ben Rushlo.
Both speakers will provide valuable insights on:

-- metrics that are most effective in providing a shared approach to Web performance;

-- what IT Operations and end users experience when performance problems occur;

-- business impact when critical application transactions are either unavailable or degraded in performance;

-- common performance pitfalls SaaS companies should watch out for; and

-- best practices for optimizing speed and availability of SaaS applications.

Systems Highlighted in EMA Whitepaper on Importance of Performance

12. Keynote
Monitoring for SaaS and Cloud Computing
Keynote(R) Systems (NASDAQ: KEYN), the global leader in solutions for continuously improving the Internet
and mobile experience, was highlighted in a newly published whitepaper by Enterprise Management
Associates (EMA) entitled: "Why Web Performance Monitoring is More Than a Competitive Advantage for
SaaS Providers." The paper focuses on the importance of effective Web performance monitoring solutions in
the rapidly expanding market for SaaS-related services, particularly with regards to the increasingly popular
and pervasive Cloud computing model. A copy of the report can be obtained at:
http://offers.keynote.com/go/keynote/EMA_SaaS_Report.

The report explains that for companies delivering Software as a Service (SaaS), or looking to adopt SaaS
capabilities, effective Web performance monitoring can mean the difference between success and failure; the
report also illustrates how Web performance monitoring can play a critical role in helping both SaaS providers
and their customers better assess, optimize and plan for more efficient service delivery.

The EMA whitepaper highlights Keynote Systems' expertise and broad range of capabilities for global
performance monitoring of the end-user experience across the Web and Web 2.0 applications. Specifically, the
report explains why Keynote, a SaaS pioneer itself, is an excellent resource for both SaaS providers and their
customers in terms of both the value of the end-user performance monitoring data it is able to capture, as well
as in the advanced reporting and alerting capabilities that it offers in support of a wide range of business roles,
from IT and Operations, to Q&A teams, to Line of Business executives.

"Both SaaS providers and SaaS consumers need consistent and meaningful insights into how SaaS
applications are performing," said Dennis Drogseth, vice president, Enterprise Management Associates. "And
that requires versatile solutions that support multiple roles with appropriate levels of visualization and analysis.
Keynote offers a richly functional and globally available solution that's optimized for linking application service
metrics with relevant business outcomes in support of decision making among a wide variety of well supported
roles. As such it's an excellent foundation for monitoring and sharing SaaS provider and client metrics."

13. SunReports Partners with Valentin Software

Valentin Software, a developer of solar PV and solar thermal design and simulation software, and SunReports,
a provider of performance monitoring solutions for residential and small commercial solar installations, have
partnered to close the loop on estimation tools and provide performance data to the solar industry.

SunReports will provide actual performance data to customers whose PV and solar thermal systems were
designed and estimated using Valentin's software programs.

Valentin Software's design simulation software has been validated, tested, and used to design and plan
thousands of installations in over 70 countries throughout the world. The company's design tools enable users
to optimize each system's design to maximize the performance and return on investment. Using a complex
simulation, the software automatically calculates the performance over the expected life of the system.

"We understand the value of predictive data as seen in the thousands of installed systems designed with the
company's software," said Paul DeKleermaeker, North American General Manager for Valentin Software. "The
SunReports feedback loop is a natural and valuable extension to the prediction capabilities customers rely on
us for."

"With SunReports and Valentin's product line, installers now have the ability to rate the performance of their
entire installed-base against their performance predictions to customers," said Thomas Dinkel, CEO of
SunReports. "This ability to show highly accurate actual vs. predicted performance data on the same visual
provides installers with a differentiation tool when going to market."

SunReports will complement the Valentin Software's simulation results by providing actual performance data
that can be compared with the Valentin estimated performance. This complete solution provides solar installers
with visibility into system performance, both predicted and actual, via the SunReports Installer Portal, in
addition to helping installers identify system installation and maintenance requirements early on
