BluePhoenix Wins Project Valued At $2.5million To
Modernize Legacy Financial Systems For Leading European Bank

  Project expected to substantially reduce maintenance costs and enhance performance providing rapid return on investment
  Application modernization from Cool:Gen-based finance systems to COBOL/DB2

NEW YORK, USA – September 5, 2007 – BluePhoenix Solutions (NASDAQ: BPHX), the leader in value-driven legacy modernization, today announced that it has won a project to convert Cool:Gen-based finance systems to COBOL/DB2 for a leading European bank. The modernization project, valued at $2.5million, will be implemented using BluePhoenix’s LanguageMigrator conversion solution, which enables organizations to automatically migrate legacy applications to prevailing languages and technologies.

Cool: Gen is an established 4th generation language environment originally developed by Texas Instruments in 1994 under the name IEF, and owned today by Computer Associates who renamed the product AdvantageGen. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of legacy Cool:Gen and AdvantageGen applications still in the market today. BluePhoenix is uniquely qualified to modernize these applications with its proven automated migration tools, demonstrated service capabilities and domain expertise.

Legacy modernization enables banks to reduce operating costs while providing a platform for business growth and improved customer service capabilities. BluePhoenix is a leading provider of legacy modernization solutions to financial institutions, with over 200 banks running their mission critical applications on modernized solutions supported by BluePhoenix.

“BluePhoenix has proven expertise in executing legacy modernization solutions for banks and financial services companies,” said Arik Kilman, CEO of BluePhoenix. “We have helped some of the largest banking institutions in the world to reduce costs and increase operational efficiencies, enabling them to focus on growing their core business. We look forward to executing this Cool:Gen project with the same high levels of quality and service that we have been able to achieve in similar modernization projects that we have implemented.”

BluePhoenix helps banking customers define their modernization strategy, which aligns business with technology investment decision-making and architecture standards, for improved business agility and efficiency. By providing a combination of domain expertise, automated tools and solutions, and agile, responsive service, BluePhoenix adds value to existing operations, boosting efficiencies while driving down the cost of doing business.
