KEY NEW EXECUTIVES UNDERSCORE APRISO'S CONTINUED BUSINESS EXPANSION

Worldwide Adoption of Company's New Bottom-out Enterprise Software Paradigm Grows

(Long Beach, CA - April 7, 2003) - In response to growing, worldwide adoption of its breakthrough "bottom-out" enterprise software, Apriso Corporation has added two new senior executives to its corporate staff. Douglas Clemmans has joined as senior vice president and general manager for the North America, and Mark Hughes has joined as senior vice president and general manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

"The addition of Clemmans and Hughes, and the restructuring of our worldwide field organization into three separate divisions, each under a seasoned executive, reflects a strong and expanding global interest in our unique enterprise software paradigm and product suite, " said Adam Bartkowski, president and CEO of Apriso. "This move positions us well to accelerate the pace of our growth." According to Bartkowski, Apriso already has in excess of 350 installations at over 140 customer sites worldwide. The company maintains direct sales offices in 11 countries. Apriso veteran Carl Hunt will head the remaining new division, Asia Pacific, Latin America (APLA.)

"Enterprises worldwide are being forced to restructure their business models to concentrate on excellence in execution," said Doug Clemmans, 41, newly-named senior vice president and general manager of operations for North America. "What has proven elusive is a means for them to actually institutionalize strategic initiatives such as lean supply or six-sigma quality programs. Classical, top-down enterprise software simply has the wrong model. I felt that Apriso's unique bottom-out infrastructure represented the way of the future." Clemmans, a seasoned veteran in the enterprise software industry, most recently was senior vice president of sales for a voice recognition start-up. Prior to that, he ran a $150 million business unit for Siebel Systems, where he created and managed major account teams for Siebel's largest communications customers. At SAP America, Clemmans managed a $100 million business unit, selling to 65 Fortune 500 companies in the utility, communications, media, transportation, logistics and other industries. Earlier in his career, he was at Software 2000 (now Infinium Software), Dun & Bradstreet Software, and TRW. He holds a bachelor of business administration degree from Loyola University.

Mark Hughes, 40, the new senior vice president and general manager for Apriso operations in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, is similarly enthusiastic. "Every so often, a significant new generation of technology comes along that will dramatically change the efficiency with which enterprises can do business," he said. "Apriso clearly represents an important shift and I am excited to be playing a key role in further hastening its adoption in this part of the world." Hughes, who will be based in the United Kingdom, came to Apriso from Broadvision, where he was vice president of EMEA, a $55 million business unit with a staff of 185. Hughes managed all sales, pre-sales, marketing and alliances functions directly, with consulting, services and finance functions reporting to him on a matrix basis. Prior to Broadvision, Hughes held management positions at Oracle Corporation, Pyramid Technology and Digital Equipment. He holds the BSc degree with honors from Southampton University in the United Kingdom.

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.
