AUSTIN, Texas � November 5, 2008�Pervasive Software� Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data management anddata integrationsoftware, today announced continued momentum within the company's SaaS- and ISV-friendly partner ecosystem. Pervasive leads the integration industry in the value it brings to software partners with several unique-in-its-industry offerings, including the ability to deliver integration with partners as an on-premise offering; embedded within partner applications (SaaS or on-premise); or hosted as an integration-as-a-service on the uniquePervasive DataCloud� platform. Pervasive counts a large and growing number of ISVs and SaaS vendors as integration partners around key industries which include CRM, ERP, marketing services, professional services management and supply chain management.

With focused SaaS expertise since it first began providing salesforce.com integration in 2001, Pervasive was the first in the integration industry to recognize and welcome the impact of SaaS delivery models. Pervasive leverages more than 20 years as an integration innovator to help provide partners a clear view of what their customers need and want from data and application integration. Pervasive's range and depth of experience offer ISVs, SaaS vendors and end users simple, proven paths tointegrate SaaS to SaaS, SaaS to on-premise, or legacy on-premise applications, both within and between organizations.

A great showcase of Pervasive's commitment to SaaS vendors is the partnership with NetSuite and Pervasive support for NetSuite's "Business ByNetSuite" program for SAP customers. The "Business ByNetSuite" program enables SAP customers to deploy NetSuite at a subsidiary or departmental level as an SAP replacement, or as the top choice for a brand new implementation.

"We're particularly pleased to have Pervasive support our �Business ByNetSuite' program for SAP customers as it enhances our ability to quickly deliver an elegant solution for customers who wish to run NetSuite within a division for the cost benefits offered, while still needing to report up to a parent company running SAP."
