Network Optimization Services - Propel Software Chosen to Present at GovTech2007, South Africa

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, August 17, 2007 - Propel Software Corporation (www.propel.com), a leading provider of Internet acceleration and network optimization solutions, today announced that David Kaye, Sales Manager – EMEA, will be presenting at South Africa’s premier technology conference, GovTech2007 (www.govtech.co.za).

The conference is hosted by the South African State Information Technology Agency (SITA). SITA is responsible for providing ICT solutions and related services to the South African government. SITA is the IT supplier for the largest employer and consumer of IT products and services in South Africa – the Government.

Mr. Kaye has been invited to speak on behalf of Propel to address applicable technologies and pertinent trends. Presentations in this track will concentrate on technologies, trends and the related ‘killer applications’ that are applicable to the South African government today.

GovTech 2007, "Transformation Through Technology Together", underscores South Africa's drive to forge strong strategic partnerships with industry to drive government’s transformation and public service delivery objectives. The conference offers high caliber local and international speakers, unparalleled educational opportunities and showcases leading-edge technologies and solutions in public service delivery.

“Propel’s products present optimal solutions for South Africa’s major inhibiting ICT factor - the high cost of bandwidth”, said Kaye. “If South Africa is serious about becoming part of the global Internet community, affordable data networking solutions need to be implemented.” Kaye states that, “Acceleration, compression and end-point traffic prioritizing significantly reduce the amount of data traveling over a network while optimizing the flow of the data that does travel over the network . For a network the size of the national government the potential cost savings are huge.” Beyond that, Kaye continues, “For a government to create a work environment that is effective and on par with those around the world one needs to look at real world realities. The reality for South Africa is that it is very remote and the cost of data transport, in and out of the country, is among the world’s highest. Propel’s solutions address those factors and provide a way to improve public service delivery.”
