WestView Capital Partners Invests in TriTech Software Systems

December 7, 2006

Boston, MA

Investment Part of Recapitalization to Fuel Continued Growth and Expand Public Safety Product Offerings
TriTech Software Systems, a leading provider of highly flexible, scalable public safety software solutions, today announced it has secured a growth capital investment from WestView Capital Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm. The infusion of capital was part of a recapitalization and will help fuel TriTech’s continued growth in the marketplace by expanding its public safety product offerings. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

TriTech’s founder and CEO, Chris Maloney, will continue to be majority shareholder while WestView Capital Partners will hold a minority ownership position in the company. Mr. Maloney will continue to serve as CEO and Chairman of the Board, and the existing executive management team will remain in place. TriTech will continue to exclusively focus its product development and services on supporting public safety software applications for top tier law enforcement, fire and emergency medical service agencies throughout the world.

“TriTech has solidified a leading position in the public safety market by developing technology solutions that our clients need to effectively respond to an ever-increasing number of routine, emergency or catastrophic events,” said Chris Maloney, President and CEO of TriTech. “In light of 9/11 and natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, public safety and homeland security have become a top priority for many communities. Thus our commitment remains toward providing interoperable and sophisticated regional response systems that protect the public at large. By partnering with WestView, we will be able to leverage their capital and expertise enabling TriTech to meet the increasing needs of the marketplace and provide an expanded suite of innovative products to complement our dispatch and mobile solutions while maintaining the highest level of customer satisfaction for our growing number of clients.”

“We look forward to partnering with TriTech as it exemplifies the type of industry leading company in which WestView seeks to invest,” said Rick Williams, managing partner at WestView, who will join the company’s board of directors along with WestView principal Jonathan Hunnicutt. “TriTech is rapidly growing, very profitable and well-managed. We are pleased to support Chris Maloney and the rest of TriTech’s management team to help build upon TriTech’s strong position in the public safety software industry.”

“TriTech has demonstrated strong financial performance and we believe that there are significant future opportunities through continued organic growth, new product development and add-on acquisitions,” commented Jonathan Hunnicutt, WestView principal.
