FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ILOG And Adobe Team To Enhance The Capabilities Of Adobe Flex 3 Software

Adobe to Distribute ILOG's Elixir, Enterprise-Class Graphical Visualization Offering for Adobe Flex

Singapore, Oct. 3, 2007 - ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG, Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364) today announced that the company has signed a reseller agreement with Adobe to market and distribute the new ILOG Elixir® graphics software. ILOG Elixir is a new add-on graphical visualization offering for Adobe® Flex™ software, designed to serve the graphical display needs essential to most modern applications, including 2-D and 3-D charts, radar charts, scheduling displays, maps of the world for dashboards, organizational charts, and treemaps for visual analytics. ILOG Elixir and Adobe Flex 3 are now in beta and available to developers. General availability of Elixir is planned for early 2008.

ILOG Elixir complements Adobe Flex - a cross platform, open source framework for creating rich Internet applications that run identically in all major browsers and operating systems - as it provides developers with rich display capabilities not currently available elsewhere. Today's Web displays typically rely on Ajax technology which, although available on most Web browsers, still lack the full interactivity and rich visuals of native desktop applications.

"Flex, based on the Adobe Flash® technology, not only offers a richer user experience, it also allows the Flex/Flash platform to be used to develop an entirely new generation of application that behaves like a desktop application but can actually be deployed via the Web. Adobe Flash is already installed on more than 96 percent of Internet-connected desktops worldwide and continues to grow," said ILOG CEO Pierre Haren. "In other words, Adobe Flex is poised to be a great foundation for RIA applications and it is the logical next step after Ajax for ambitious developers who want to bring a desktop application-like experience to the Web."

"We are excited about this agreement with ILOG and the benefits that it will offer to Flex developers," said Michele Turner, vice president of product marketing and management, Platform Business Unit at Adobe. "ILOG is a trusted source for providing industry-leading data visualization technology. And now companies using Flex can leverage ILOG's enterprise-class data visualization components to help support the numerous demands they have for more sophisticated user displays."

Through its Java™, .NET and C++ graphics libraries and components, ILOG provides the industry's most comprehensive set of graphics tools for creating sophisticated, interactive user displays. ILOG's graphics products enhance decision-making speed and ability by making vast quantities of complex data more comprehensible and manageable for users. With each of ILOG's visualization products, developers can save 50 to 80 percent of development time in creating displays.

ILOG is a member of the OpenAjax Alliance™ and participates in several standards initiatives in the graphics world, including the World Wide Web Consortium's scalable vector graphics standard committee, of which ILOG is a co-chair.
