Lotus Notes/Domino email

"Patron is expanding from a strong installed base in the financial
services sector to applications in the public sector. This expansion is
consistent with our business plan and we are pleased with the market
reception," said Bob Cross, Patron's Chief Executive Officer. "PolicyGate
offers our customers the benefits of six years of experience in the compliance
market and we are pleased to bring PolicyGate to market with such strong
customer support."
"Patron's PolicyGate is clearly on the leading edge of solutions in the
market place today. Having recently conducted an exhaustive evaluation of
available solutions in this space, PolicyGate is an ideal solution for
investment advisers and broker-dealers to manage the regulatory compliance of
their email and other electronic communication," said Peter A. Savarese, Esq,
a securities attorney with the Hamburger Law Firm LLC and Senior Counsel at
MarketCounsel, a leading national business regulatory compliance consulting
firm located in the New York metropolitan area. "PolicyGate can also play a
vital role in implementing policies designed to manage workplace risks, such a
sexual harassment, which could lead to litigation and, in the event of
litigation, complying with discovery requests for electronic records."
