Financial Results Fueled by Product Innovation and New Market Penetration

Triple Point Technology®, the leading provider of multi-market commodity and enterprise risk management software solutions, announced today that in 2009 it achieved record financial results. Record revenues, profits, and software sales were fueled by the company's continued focus on product innovation, new market penetration, and customer satisfaction. Financial highlights reported by the company include:

-- Total organic revenue growth of 35% year-over-year in 2009, with a 51% growth in profits during the same period;
