     Magic Quadrant Placement Based on Vision and Ability to Execute

Cambridge, Mass.—June 1, 2004—InterSystems Corporation today announced
that the company is positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant in Gartner,
Inc.’s Application Integration Magic Quadrant.i

Cambridge, Mass.-based InterSystems provides high performance software
products targeted for IT organizations and independent software vendors.
Gartner, Inc., headquartered in Stamford, CT, is a world leader in IT
market research.

InterSystems’ positioning in the Magic Quadrant is based on its Ensemble
universal integration platform. Launched in late 2003, Ensemble is the
only integration platform to incorporate the functionality of an
integration server, application server, high performance object database
and a unified development and management environment in a single,
architecturally consistent product.

The Magic Quadrant research identifies vendors active in the integration
middleware market and characterizes their roles in the industry as of
May 2004. According to Gartner, Inc., “visionaries understand the market
and customer requirements well, but have a smaller installed base and
often have fewer assets committed to the pursuit of this market than
leaders.” Vendor positioning in this Magic Quadrant “considers a broad
combination of application integration requirements, spanning B2B and
internal application integration scenarios,” according to Gartner, Inc.
The research gives equal weight to data consistency integration,
multistep processes that tie applications together and composite
applications, which Gartner, Inc. describes as the “three major
integration styles.”

In addition to offering Ensemble, InterSystems develops and markets the
CACHÉ post-relational database. “We consider InterSystems’ positioning
in the visionary quadrant in the Gartner, Inc. Magic Quadrant to be a
reflection of the unique and comprehensive nature of our Ensemble
universal integration platform,” says InterSystems Managing Director,
Application Integration Trevor Matz. “We expect Ensemble to achieve the
same high level of market acceptance that our CACHÉ post-relational
database enjoys around the world.”
