SEATTLE - May 23, 2007 -

Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, today announced building momentum with large life sciences customers, including both new and expanding engagements over the past 12 months to integrate cutting edge analytics and graphics into all phases of the drug development life cycle.

Insightful counts a majority of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies as customers, including Pfizer, Inc., AstraZeneca International, Johnson & Johnson, and Hoffman-La Roche, Inc. During the past 12 months, each of these four companies and many of the other leading pharmaceutical companies started new life sciences solutions projects with Insightful, expanded existing projects, or purchased more software licenses from Insightful.

Pfizer, Inc. has signed an agreement to deploy S-PLUS predictive analytics software within the company. Insightful's agreement with Pfizer is based on software license and maintenance fees.
