Dear Valued Customer,

It is with great excitement that we share today's news with you - iTera and
Vision Solutions have merged to create an unmatched System i high
availability market leader. The Company is retaining the name Vision
Solutions; however, all products will be marketed under the iTera brand.

Because of the merger, the expanded organization is now the largest IBM
System i high availability vendor in the world giving you the richest
product portfolio, expanded services, and unsurpassed customer support.
This will be a tremendous benefit to existing and new customers alike.

An FAQ is available on our website, however, here are some key points we
thought you would want to know immediately:

1.    We will continue to deliver and support both ORION and Echo2
product families as we deliver a converged next-generation family of product

2.    We intend to provide visibility into a detailed product roadmap
in early 2007 
3.    Vision will host a series of webinars for customers in the
coming weeks featuring senior management from both companies. 

Meanwhile, we look forward to continuing our world-class service and
bringing you an even broader range of seamlessly integrated,
mission-critical products, solutions, and expanded technical support.
