Company Chosen for Third Straight Year; Recognized for Service, Innovation

SAN MATEO, Calif. - August 23, 2007 – Driving efficiencies in dynamic publishing, Astoria Software today announced that Astoria On-Demand, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for structured content management, has been selected as a 2007 KMWorld Trend-Setting Product. KMWorld Magazine provides the most up to date information on content, document, and knowledge management.

Each year, the magazine collects feedback from both vendors and their customers about products that represent the best research and development of solutions for nearly every organization and industry. This year marks Astoria's third straight year on the Trend-Setting Product list, with Astoria's service and innovation earning it a position on the 2007 list.

"More then 650 individual products were considered by our team of editors, analysts, integrators and users," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief. "Each and every company whose products were chosen for this year's list of Trend-Setting Products is being acknowledged for its willingness to listen and serve its customers in useful and innovative ways."

"When compiling its annual list of Trend-Setting Products, KMWorld puts a premium on trends driven by customers, not hype," said Dan Ortega, vice president of marketing for Astoria Software. "With Astoria On-Demand, our customers see faster product documentation cycles, allowing them to expand into new markets and improve overall revenue growth. Compelling, real-world value like that has consistently won customers and KMWorld recognition."
