2008 Season’s Greetings

To all of our friends and associates,

As we approach the end of the year, I would like to express my appreciation for your interest in and support of SAND Technology during 2007.

This year was an exciting one for SAND, as we continued to gain recognition and market share for our SAND/DNA solutions, especially our nearline offering for SAP BI. On the product front, our development team has put extensive work into a range of exciting new analytical features to be included in the upcoming release 5 of SAND/DNA Analytics. We have also introduced two new offerings based on SAND/DNA Access technology, to provide very cost-effective solutions for organizations with specific requirements for nearline functionality.

Starting 2007 with the official certification of the SAND/DNA solution for use with the SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 release, SAND has broadened its customer base worldwide with new customers in the financial services, consumer products and telecommunications industries, among others.We have continued to promote the SAND/DNA solution in the SAP world with well-received presentations at SAPPHIRE 07, SAP TechEd ‘07, and elsewhere. SAND personnel have also co-authored a number of articles appearing in prominent SAP-oriented journals such as SAP NetWeaver Magazine and SAP Info.

We continue to develop strong and mutually beneficial relationships with numerous channel partners around the world, and look forward to continued growth in the coming year.

All of us at SAND extend our best wishes for a very happy holiday season.

Arthur Ritchie
