Raining Data Announces ePedigree System and
RFID Data Management Server

New Offerings Included As Part of Sun RFID Industry Solution
for Drug Authentication

IRVINE, CA. - November 14, 2005 – Raining Data Corporation (NASDAQ: RDTA), a leading data management software company that enables real-time business, announced today its ePedigree System, ePharma Application Suite and RFID Data Management Server. This comprehensive new solution enables pharmaceutical companies to comply with various state pedigree legislation, including Florida and California, and to take advantage of current or future investments in RFID.

ePedigree management enables pharmaceutical companies to create, send, receive, authenticate, and digitally sign electronic pedigree documents in compliance with state legislation. Electronic pedigrees provide an additional measure in securing the pharmaceutical supply chain by minimizing counterfeit product, reducing diversion and improving product recall. ePedigrees are documents that provide for a “chain of custody” in the pharmaceutical supply chain that traces each drug's chain of ownership from the pharmacy back to the manufacturer. Raining Data’s ePedigree System and ePharma Application Suite provides a comprehensive platform for managing pedigrees and complying with various state pedigree legislation as well as the federal Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA) which are designed to eradicate counterfeit drugs from the American drug supply chain.

RFID Enables Item-Level Pedigrees That Are Linked to Individual Drugs in the Supply Chain

By using proposed and existing RFID industry standards already adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, Gillette and other leading companies to streamline their supply chains, Raining Data enables item-level ePedigrees that are linked to the RFID tag on the drug as it travels through the supply chain. This enhanced ePedigree provides an added level of granularity and security to the pharmaceutical supply chain which augments patient safety and offers additional opportunities to contain costs. The Raining Data ePedigree System offers both non-serialized pedigrees to enable regulatory compliance and serialized pedigrees to streamline the supply chain and increase patient safety.

Maximizing Value of RFID and Reducing Cost Through Actionable Information

Raining Data RFID technologies bridge the physical world of products, inventory, cases, pallets and containers with the digital world of enterprise information systems to create a highly efficient business operation. Mandates from large retailers and the Department of Defense have driven most of the demand for RFID technology over the last few years. Today, companies are seeking opportunities for RFID to deliver cost savings by leveraging the RFID technology in supply chain management activities to improve asset management, inventory management, order reconciliation, invoicing and payments. Achieving this return-on-investment requires that RFID data be captured and aggregated from various edge devices located across distributed facilities and then integrated with business processes and enterprise IT systems.

The Raining Data RFID Data Management Server enables the persistence, query, and analysis of RFID data with advanced support to correlate RFID events with business activities. The solution integrates RFID data with back-office enterprise systems. Users of Raining Data’s RFID Data Management Server may streamline operations and create business value by enabling inventory and lead-time visibility at each stage of the supply chain as well as asset management and asset tracking throughout the enterprise. When deployed together, Raining Data’s RFID Data Management Server powered by TigerLogic XML Data Management Server and the Sun Java System RFID Software provide a solution to capture RFID edge events and integrate them with enterprise applications for tasks such as order fulfillment and warehouse management.

Raining Data’s TigerLogic RFID Data Management Server works with the Sun Java System RFID Software, Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), Sun Java Integration Suite and Sun Java System Application Server for an enterprise to gain maximum value from a RFID deployment by enabling a rich set of tools to capture, aggregate and persist RFID data. The RFID Data Management Server can query, mine, analyze and integrate RFID data into business operations for new levels of visibility and business intelligence.

ePedigree Fast Track Enables Compliance with Pedigree Drug Laws and Regulatory Requirements plus Leverages RFID Investments

For the pharmaceutical industry, Raining Data’s ePedigree System and ePharma Application Suite provide a fast track to ePedigree legislation compliance as well as a long-term solution that can evolve to support item-level pedigrees with RFID or other mass serialization techniques.

Automating the tracking of drugs through pedigree management improves drug security and patient safety while reducing supply chain costs. Companies using Raining Data solutions may increase supply chain efficiency by ensuring that the right drugs are in the right place at the right time providing patients with improved drug availability. Additional benefits include reduced inventory and labor costs plus less product loss due to expiration and diversion, all of which may lower the cost and increase the quality of pharmaceuticals for patients.

While the focus for many companies has been on meeting short-term RFID and ePedigree compliance requirements at the lowest cost possible, more visionary companies have recognized the long-term benefits associated with RFID, such as enhanced patient safety, risk mitigation, improved supply chain efficiencies, increased inventory visibility in logistics operations and reduced errors. Sun Microsystems has chosen to include Raining Data’s technologies into the Sun RFID Industry Solution for Drug Authentication to offer pharmaceutical customers a comprehensive, supply chain wide solution for drug authentication using RFID.

“Raining Data was chosen by Sun Microsystems because of their foundation in distributed data management, expertise with ePedigree and their integration support of various Sun technologies including our Java System RFID Software, Java Integration Suite and Solaris 10 OS,” said Vivek Khandelwal, Principal RFID Solutions Manager for Sun Microsystems.

Raining Data’s RFID Data Management and ePedigree solutions are non-intrusive, enabling fast compliance with Florida and other state pedigree laws, while providing a technology foundation that can scale to leverage current or future business requirements, such as item-level pedigree, anti-counterfeiting, track & trace and returns processing.

“Raining Data has enabled us to combine ePedigree requirements and RFID data to quickly offer a comprehensive solution that helps the pharmaceutical industry to address the growing problem with counterfeited drugs in the US supply chain,” said Liz From, Pharma/Healthcare RFID Lead for Sun Microsystems.

The RFID Data Management Solution working with the Sun Java System RFID Software and Java Integration Suite, incorporates RFID event data into business processes and provide business context to aid decision making across the supply chain. Raining Data’s RFID Data Management Server supports the EPC Global Application Level Event (ALE) specifications, the emerging EPC Information Service (EPC-IS) standard by providing real-time capture, query, analysis and integration of RFID event data. The solution also supports integration with leading RFID readers and printers, is fast and easy to deploy and enables centralized configuration and management of devices.

“While RFID tagging increases the granularity and amount of supply chain data, true benefits are achieved only when the data is managed and integrated in a way so that it is actionable and enables improved decision-making. Raining Data’s RFID Data Management Server and ePedigree System provides a scalable, standards-based architecture to facilitate ePedigree legislation compliance and the actionable use of RFID information by integrating and correlating the data with existing enterprise systems such as ERP and Warehouse Management to provide long-term supply chain benefits and increase patient safety,” said Ajay Ramachandran, Vice President, CTO & General Manager - Enterprise Applications Group, Raining Data Corporation.
