Evident Software Customer American Express Speaks at CFO Magazine's
5th Annual IT Value Conference and Exposition. |

From IT Expense to IT Value |

| "We published a list of the top 100 'talkers' as part of our effort to allocate costs by actual usage, not simply head count." |

|
|
| "Evident's technology has helped us to more effectively track and manage spending growth by reducing IT consumption and create more efficient traffic patterns... We're currently expanding our implementation to make it easier for business unit leaders to access the information and look forward to additional cost savings as we continue to streamline our IT investments to align with our business needs." |
~ Duane Butler
Senior VP, Network Engineering
Fidelity Investments |
|
|
| "Evident has enabled us to influence the manner in which developers architect applications; where they locate servers with relation to users; the scheduling of non-time critical processes; and other practices that have already significantly reduced network congestion, and improved the quality of service the network is offering. Our users are much more content with the IT service being provided." |

| "Speed is the key to our success, and this new portal provides access to critical information at our convenience in a fully secure, online environment. Additionally, we are able to share user experiences with Evident's other customers in the portal's chat forum, which we find is particularly useful." |

|
| "Evident's scalability and flexibility to identify and rate a network as extensive as ours were critical factors in our selection of their solution. Furthermore, the Evident's technology will enable BT to accurately forecast bandwidth expenditures as well as improve network usage, services and applications." |

| "By tracking and generating billing for Fidelity's WAN consumption across approximately 7,000 subnet's and 1,200 departments - by a range of key attributes such as protocols, applications and data volumes - Evident has considerably improved our ability to control costs and use of network resources. We've identified and are working with our business units to set usage policies and correct factors that have caused us to burn through ever-increasing amounts of bandwidth, from unnecessarily 'bandwidth hungry' applications to sub-optimal server placements. As a result, we expect to save considerable expense over the next few years, and more importantly, we now have a practical means of factoring the telecommunications infrastructure costs into our enterprise systems architectural planning." |

| "Evident's product went in very smoothly, and their support helped us tremendously through the implementation process. We began seeing results much sooner than we expected. It has helped us to build an effective communications bridge with the business side of the house – our users. We all seem to be on the same page." |
~ Chief of Network Operations

|
|
| "We have made tremendous progress in reducing unit costs, through better negotiations with our providers. Unfortunately, our level of consumption is increasing at a much higher rate, and as a result our network costs are out of control. Evident's solution offers us the most effective means of managing our consumption and reducing our network cost – this is an initiative which is visible at our CEO and CFO level." |
~ Vice President of Finance
Fortune 1000 Financial Services Company |
|
|
| "Evident is creating an important and entirely new class of solutions that will provide organizations with an unprecedented ability to assess and control the costs and consumption of IT resources. Evident provides an urgently needed capability because many IT infrastructures have evolved in an information void. Enterprises have little understanding of how usage patterns and other related factors cause network bandwidth costs to spiral, while information availability degrades. By quantifying these consumption patterns and factors, Evident will bridge the information gap between IT management and business users, enabling organizations to redefine the economics and efficiency of their networked applications." |

|
| "Our bandwidth costs have increased by 42% per year over the last two years – and since we began adopting a usage-based billing methodology, we have turned the tide in terms of this growth. For the first time, we feel that things are under control. We project to save more than $11.5MM over the next four years." |
