Press Release Summary = Odessa, Ukraine, August 30, 2007 - CS Odessa today announced
the upcoming planned release of ConceptDraw Project 4 for Macintosh and Windows,
scheduled for general availability in mid-September 2007.

Press Release Body = The newest release of ConceptDraw Project 4 project management
software is designed to plan and track a wide range of projects simultaneously and
to accurately allocate and manage any shared resources between all managed projects.
New to Project 4 is a "Resource Usage View", enhanced Microsoft Project
compatibility, a redesigned tabular project interface and a number of widely
requested usability improvements.

The new "Resource Usage View" in Project 4 permits project managers to quickly have
an accurate view of resource loading and task allocation for each available
resource. Project 4 represents the project data in a clear, compelling visual
presentation displaying a color-coded representation of resource usage; possible
areas of potential resource misalignment are highlighted for clear viewing.
"Resource Usage View" is an essential tool for quickly finding over and under
allocated workers and then being able to precisely balance against the project
requirements.

"Project success is dependent on an accurate assessment of how human and material
resources are allocated and utilized. Because of this requirement there is a large
demand today for a project management tool that organizes resource management. We
are addressing this important project management requirement with our 'Resource
Usage View' and 'Common Resource Pool' report contained in Project 4. Now project
mangers can focus on the human relations side of resource management, while the
software takes care of the technical side providing all necessary information to
properly manage projects, people and materials," notes Olesya Gileva, Product
Manager of ConceptDraw Project.

The ConceptDraw Project user interface has undergone some important changes in
version 4, providing even quicker navigation between projects and different status
views; these changes dramatically speed up the task of project management. With
Project 4 tasks and resources contained in all projects are clearly laid out making
it easier to supervise each individual project as well as all the projects in the
manager's portfolio. These user interface changes have been introduced in Project 4
to make project operations easier and faster for both beginner and experienced
users.

Gerhard Trimpin, a long-time ConceptDraw Project user and enthusiast shares his
opinion, "Arranging materials and human resources for my projects, I find the
resource usage view is the best invention I have noticed in the program. This view
is brilliant! And so is the view selector in the toolbar. To open only one window
and put every view inside it is one of the things I benefit the most. Sometimes I
really had to look through all the open windows to find the one I worked with
before. Now it\'s just the one window of Project and the inspector and you don\'t need
more than that."

"The interface looks very clean and is well arranged and structured. I like that a
lot! The intuitivity of the interface is improved incredibly compared to Project 3",
says Franc Nigl, a Program Manager at Ordina Holding.

ConceptDraw Project 4 has a suggested retail price of $199; educational and
nonprofit pricing is also available. All purchasers of ConceptDraw Project 3 from
August 15, 2007 until Project 4 ship date will be eligible to receive a no cost
upgrade to Project 4.
