Press Release Body: Bitam Version G6 Sets Bar For
Enterprise Performance Management

Bitam "Knowledge IntelligenceTM" Delivers New Economics, Lower Cost of Entry, Higher
Return, & More Comprehensive Functionality at the Base Price

Tampico, Atlanta & Madrid - February 21, 2008. Bitam, a Software 500 Company and
global provider of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions, including
Business Intelligence (BI), Financial Planning, and Strategic Planning, announces G6
(Generation 6), a comprehensive upgrade to the company\'s flagship software that
continues to deliver more capability and innovation in every release. Bitam G6
delivers "Knowledge Intelligence\" that empowers users to strive for more than just
greater accuracy and effectiveness in the decision making process; it creates
understanding of how their decisions influence others and impact the company as a
whole.

With the "You Drive" interface, which offers a new level of control, performance,
speed, accountability, accuracy, and analytical maneuverability, Bitam G6 customers
gain strategic insight and visible accountability that drives excellent and timely
decision-making. Bitam G6 incorporates more baseline BI capabilities than other
vendors. Hallmarks of G6 include multi-platform functionality, combined dashboard
and visualization tools, higher usability with correspondingly higher user
acceptance rates, and extraordinary value.

"Bitam G6 features all the tools needed to deliver exceptional reporting, analysis,
monitoring, budgeting, forecasting and consolidation capabilities," said Hector
Marquez, CTO at Steelscape, Inc., a company using Bitam's solutions since 2005.
"Having a platform that offers, besides all of that, a knowledge base that allows
you to better manage the projects and to learn while you act is a great capability
that makes the difference for an Enterprise Performance Management solution."

"Bitam software solutions for BI and EPM offer a triple play of positive economics,
multi-platform capability, and twice the industry\'s user adoption rate," said David
Abdo, CEO of Bitam. "To those benefits, Bitam adds low entry cost, quick
implementation, high return, and comprehensive functionality."

The software includes standard sets of business measures, managerial and
operational, for departmental-based planning, goal-setting, portal and dashboard
creation, reporting, queries, or alerting. Bitam software lets departments or whole
companies create operational dashboards that incorporate business metrics and KPIs
for visualizing actual performance against plan with graphs, charts, or custom
presentation of the data. End user customization reduces time for development and
increases user satisfaction. "Knowledge IntelligenceTM\" gives users intelligence
with one-click access for usability and executive value using a combination of
dashboard, scorecard, and visualization tools.

Bitam is unique in offering this complete, tightly-integrated Enterprise Performance
Management (EPM) software suite designed to work as one that includes Business
Intelligence (BI), strategic planning, financial planning, Business Process
Management (BPM), and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM). Bitam reinforced the
tight, metadata layer integration at the platform level across all products, which
enables users or IT staff to define variables, dimensions, metrics and alerts in a
single place at one time, then reuse these defined variables in any report or
analysis, across the entire Bitam product suite. Many competing products are cobbled
together from acquisitions and force you to have differing metadata layers for each
module, even when on a common platform.

Bitam G6 incorporates product-specific innovations, such as multi-platform support
for Microsoft, UNIX, and Linux Operating Systems (OS). Advanced analysis
capabilities include data segmentation, statistical functions, and predictive
analysis as core capabilities.

The compellingly competitive offering from Bitam includes comprehensive
functionality at the base price, a user adoption rate that is twice the industry
average, installation in days/weeks rather than months, and a try-before-you-buy
program for OEM partners and their customers. Together, these factors reduce
deployment risks from purchasing software, implementation, and life-cycle-cost.
Bitam software is truly affordable for the mid-market, yet is rigorously applied to
data analysis for many divisions of large, international firms.

Benefits of "Knowledge IntelligenceTM" include business process insights, higher
efficiency, faster response to change, cost savings, cross-functional information
visibility, and better or self-service Information Technology (IT).
