BluePhoenix Offers On-Demand Webcast Featuring
Analyst Phil Murphy From an Independent Research Firm on
Legacy Application Modernization

Follows on Heels of Successful Live Event;
Provides Key Insights Into Legacy Issues

CARY, N.C. & HERZLIA, Israel – August 17, 2006 – BluePhoenix Solutions (NASDAQ: BPHX – News), a leader in Enterprise IT Modernization, today announced the availability of an on-demand Webcast on “Legacy Application Modernization Migrate or Stagnate.” Forrester’s Phil Murphy of Forrester Research is the featured presenter.

“After hosting an extremely successful event with several hundred registrations, we decided to extend the value of Phil Murphy’s insights by offering this Webcast on-demand,” said Tsipora Cohen, vice president of worldwide marketing, BluePhoenix Solutions. “Using survey results and methods to evaluate the fate of existing applications, Phil provides recommended approaches and solutions based upon companies’ legacy system situations.”

The premise of the Webcast is that to remain competitive, organizations must leverage existing systems without giving up business agility. Murphy addresses the critical questions being asked by CIOs and CTOs today, including:

  How long do we have before we must move from legacy databases such as IMS, IDMS, ADABAS, VSAM, or Datacom DB?
  How long do we have before we must move off a 3GL (3rd Generation Language) or 4GL such as Natural, ADSO, PowerBuilder, or PL/I?
  How do we approach database and application migration?
  Can we do legacy modernization projects in-house, or should we look for help?
  SOA enablement of migrated applications - can we do it and if so how?

Interested parties may attend the one-hour on-demand Webcast at
