Under the agreement, Mosaic will recommend Paragon's ATM/EFT simulation and testing tools to its Postilion users worldwide.

The companies share a number of mutual customers, as well as an anniversary¾both celebrating 10 years in business in 2004.
"This agreement formalizes a solid collaborative relationship we've had with Mosaic. Paragon's tools enable Postilion users to quickly test their new offerings and cut time-to-market," says Kathy Cameron, Paragon's Director of Sales and Marketing. "It is especially gratifying when a company's experience using our products leads them to promote those products to their customers."
"We are always looking for the best partners and the best products to help our Postilion clients simplify their processes and improve their operational efficiency" stated Johann Dreyer, CEO of Mosaic Software "Our positive experience with Paragon and their ATM/EFT simulation and testing tools has made it an easy decision for us to recommend them to our customers".
