APRISO ANNOUNCES FLEXNET SOFTWARE USED BY INTERNATIONAL PAPER FOR RFID WAREHOUSE TRACKING SYSTEM

(Long Beach, CA - November 4, 2003) - Apriso Corporation announced today that its FlexNet® software is being utilized by International Paper at its recently revealed radio frequency identification enabled warehouse in Texarkana, Texas. International Paper's first-of-its-kind Warehouse Tracking System allows it to track the physical location of paper rolls and transmit routing instructions to forklift operators in real time using RFID. FlexNet's Web-services-based warehousing and inventory management applications were interfaced with International Paper's RFID inventory location application to provide real-time workflow instructions.

"The flexibility and high connectivity of FlexNet's database and workflow engine is a strong fit with the Warehouse Tracking System," said Michael Anderson, IT manager at International Paper.

"There has been a lot of excitement about RFID recently," said Adam Bartkowski, president and CEO of Apriso. "with much focus on the tags, and the supporting electronics. But RFID is all about connectivity to real-time events that can immensely improve business operations and intelligence. We are proud to work alongside of IP in its groundbreaking Warehouse Tracking System."

About Apriso
Apriso is the pioneer of a significant, new class of enterprise software that for the first time enables corporations to define, operate, and monitor supply, production and distribution processes in real time, without limits. Using an event-driven, distributed services model, Apriso's software provides such fine-grained visibility and control of both execution processes and key performance indicators that it is an ideal platform for accomplishing the most pressing business initiatives of today: compliance, product genealogy, in-line production sequencing, real-time, RFID-based asset management, lean supply, successive refinement (kaizen), six-sigma quality levels, demand-driven supply (the "Dell" model), and the adaptive enterprise.

Apriso's software, known as FlexNet®, integrates quickly, easily and naturally into an enterprise's existing software infrastructure, and effectively extends the scope of systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) into the furthest reaches of the extended production and supply network, as required. But unlike these systems, that are based upon a top-down, plan-driven operations orientation, Apriso's event-driven, process-based architecture accommodates any operational model that is based upon real-time collaboration between execution processes, real-time visibility into performance, or the requirement to define, refine, or immediately control workflows throughout the enterprise, and across borders.

Apriso was founded in 1992, and now operates in 11 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. World headquarters are in Long Beach, California. Apriso's rapidly-growing customer base of more than 140 customers and over 400 installations worldwide includes such high-profile, global companies as General Motors, Lear, Honeywell, Microsoft, Merck, Lockheed Martin, ITT, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, International Paper, Rubbermaid, Matsushita Avionics Systems, Saint-Gobain, Pechiney, and British American Tobacco.

The company has received a total of $20.9 million in two rounds of venture funding. Investors include Wall Street Technology Partners LP, CMEA Ventures, LogiSpring Investment Fund, SAP Ventures, and Brentwood Venture Capital.
