Paris, France – November 22, 2007 – InfoVista (Euronext IFV - FR0004031649), the leading service-centric performance management software vendor, today announced that it has finalized the acquisition of France-based, privately held Accellent, whose application-centric network monitoring solutions are used by large international organizations to ensure the delivery of mission-critical and revenue-generating services.
Alain Tingaud, InfoVista CEO, commented on the completion of the Accellent acquisition: “We are pleased to welcome Accellent on board and look forward to offering our customers an extended solution. Together, we will have the competitive advantage by way of advanced application response and traffic monitoring, which analysts and industry observers agree is a critical component to a holistic communication infrastructure performance management solution.”
He added further: “We’re really pleased with the positive response that the Accellent acquisition has generated among analysts and industry observers. EMA’s latest report on the strategic value of this acquisition to InfoVista customers re-affirms our vision for providing proven proactive service assurance solutions to global enterprises and services providers of all sizes.”

According to Marquis, when integrated and available as a unified product, the combination of InfoVista and Accellent will allow:
* Detection of performance issues with end-user applications or services
