Portland, OR – April 23, 2002 - Instantiations, a leading provider of advanced Javaä development and deployment solutions, announced today that CodePro Studio WebSphere* Edition was recently awarded certification in the IBM "Ready for WebSphere Studio Software" program. CodePro Studio includes professional development and migration tools for IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer and IBM VisualAge* for Java. It is the first product to officially receive validation for the new WebSphere Studio development environment.

"IBM is pleased to work with companies like Instantiations to provide complementary solutions for our WebSphere software," Bernard Spang, Director of WebSphere Studio Marketing, IBM. "Working with IBM WebSphere, Instantiations can help organizations transform their core business processes to become sophisticated e-businesses."

The IBM "Ready for WebSphere Studio Software" validation program provides a method for IBM software partners to differentiate their application development tools from the competition. IBM awards "Ready for WebSphere Studio Software" validation to select vendor solutions based on specific

integration criteria. Rigorous technical testing and evaluation by IBM is required before the certification is awarded. A company must also be a commercial member of IBM PartnerWorld for Developers to participate in the "Ready for WebSphere Studio Software" program.

These unique tools do this by automating many repetitive tasks, dramatically improving user interfaces, and streamlining activities. With CodePro Studio, WebSphere developers will have access to:

• New productivity tools for IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer
