Insightful Corporation Releases Insightful Clinical Graphics Version 1.1

iCG reduces the time and resources necessary to meet graphics requirements in drug discovery, development and marketing

Seattle, WA - July 1, 2008 -

Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today the release and immediate availability of version 1.1 of Insightful Clinical Graphics (iCG), a product for defining and repurposing statistical graphics across all functional areas in drug discovery, development and marketing. iCG 1.1 features new graph types and an improved user experience. Pharmaceutical companies currently starting projects with iCG 1.1 include H. Lundbeck A/S in Denmark.

“Many global pharmaceutical companies are looking to integrate graphics into their clinical trials process, making iCG one of our most significant Life Science solutions to date,” said Jeff Coombs, CEO of Insightful. “With iCG, customers save time and resources, perform better scientific analysis and interpretation, and communicate more effectively with internal and external stakeholders.”

With input from multiple life sciences companies, Insightful designed iCG to simplify the creation and re-use of statistical graphics and elimination of redundant work processes. From discovery, pre-clinical and clinical trials, through marketing and epidemiology, iCG enables scientific data to be presented as actionable information in clinical study reports, regulatory submissions, publications and presentations. iCG helps optimize the deployment of expensive statistical programming resources by allowing non-programming statisticians, clinicians and medical writers to apply customizable graph templates to study data and to change a graph style, without compromising the data or the results displayed.

Key Features and Enhancements
iCG 1.1 contains a number of significant enhancements:

* Expanded 2D graph palette, including bubble, delta, cumulative incidence and double dot plots
* Support for 3D graph types, including contour and image plots
* Added plug-in customization of graph palette, graph metadata and workflow
* Improved user experience and system performance
* Reduced dependence on Information Technology staff
