Spotfire and Sun Microsystems to demonstrate DecisionSite with the Sun Java System Portal Server for Bioinformatics at Bio-IT World Show in Boston, MA

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spotfire, Inc.

WHO:      Spotfire, Inc. (www.spotfire.com) and Sun Microsystems 
          (http://www.sun.com)

WHAT:     Ongoing demonstrations of Spotfire's DecisionSite(TM), a
          visually guided analytic application, leveraging the Sun
          Java System Portal Server, the industry's first
          identity-enabled portal server solution, to enhance
          knowledge sharing and collaborative decision-making for
          bioinformatics users.

WHEN:     Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - Thursday, April 1, 2004

WHERE:    Bio-IT World Conference & Expo, Hynes Convention Center, 
          Boston, MA
          Booth: BIO602  

DETAILS:  Bioinformatics portals are focused on enabling improved
          collaboration to break down the infamous communication
          silos common in multi-discipline organizations. As a
          result, web-based portals are used in bioinformatics to
          deliver secure and personalized content to anyone,
          anytime, anywhere. Spotfire, a Sun iForce partner,
          recognized the positive impact that improved communication
          has on research and has integrated support for Sun's Java
          Enterprise System Portal Server into its DecisionSite
          Guided Analytic application platform to help make the
          leading analytic application in life sciences even more
          usable. The booth demo will show how DecisonSite Posters
          can be integrated into a bioinformatics portal to extend
          its collaboration potential.
