FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ILOG Tapped for Destination Z Mainframe Program

ILOG Also Tapped for IBM's ISV Advantage Program

SINGAPORE, May 15, 2008 - ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364) today announced a strengthening of its long-standing technology and business alliance with IBM®. ILOG has been selected for IBM's Destination z Alliance Program, which aims to accelerate legacy modernization initiatives for IBM z-series customers. ILOG has also been tapped for IBM's ISV Advantage program for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMB).

IBM Destination z is a community organization which is focused on accelerating the modernization of customers' information technology environments to more efficiently operate their businesses. In response to increased demand for System z®-based decision management, ILOG recently introduced ILOG Rules for COBOL®, which allows IBM customers to leverage the processing power of IBM System z for both new application development and for fitting rule-based decision management into existing ILOG Rules for COBOL applications.

By joining IBM's ISV Advantage program for the SMB market, ILOG's business rule management system (BRMS) and optimization solutions will be promoted as part of IBM's portfolio of leading e-business SMB solutions in the Insurance, Banking, Capital Markets, Healthcare, and Public Sector areas. Many of these solutions already incorporate ILOG JRules®, used in concert with IBM's service-oriented architecture (SOA) frameworks, including WebSphere® Business Services Fabric, WebSphere Process Server, and IBM ECM, and implemented by IBM Global Business Services. With these joint offerings, organizations can more safely manage business change in applications such as insurance policy underwriting, loan origination, claims adjudication and border security. The SMB market represents a large, diverse market with enormous IT opportunity. According to IBM, the SMB market comprises companies with 1-999 employees.

ILOG is also a Premier level partner within the IBM PartnerWorld® program. According to IBM, Premier level membership is for IBM business partners that make a very significant investment in IBM products and technologies.
