OPNET Earns "Company To Watch 2004" Distinction from Network Computing

OPNET one of nine network and systems management companies selected

BETHESDA, MD - January 27, 2004 --OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNT), a leader in management software for networks and applications, today announced that it has earned a prestigious "Company To Watch 2004" award by CMP Media LLC's Network Computing. OPNET was recognized along with eight other companies in the network and systems management field.

CMP Media LLC's Network Computing considers "Company To Watch 2004" winners to be worthy of recognition for their significant contribution to their respective fields. To select the winners, CMP Media LLC's Network Computing turned to industry analysts who looked as far ahead as five years to predict customer demands and examined lessons learned in networking products and companies.

"Each year Network Computing's editors select the top companies in several technology fields as innovators and trend setters from both a technology and business perspective," said Fritz Nelson, VP and Group Publisher of CMP’s Network Computing. "Network Computing’s Survivors Guide will be continually referred to over the course of 2004 by our readers when making strategic technology purchase decisions. The companies selected are unique, because they have been picked by our editors who are current or former IT professionals who understand what our readers want."

"Many of our customers turn to Network Computing to gain perspective on important IT issues and the inside scoop on news in the networking industry, so of course we’re thrilled to be recognized by their editors for a second time," commented Todd Kaloudis, Vice President of Business Development & Marketing. “We agree that our products have a lot of potential. We are aiming for a paradigm shift in 3 areas for enterprises: application performance troubleshooting; network and security configuration auditing; and predictive planning."
