QAD to Acquire FullTilt Solutions' Product Suite: Product Information Management and Master Data Management Solution Capabilities t

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 22, 2008 -- While specific terms were not disclosed, the transaction will see the complete FullTilt product suite move to QAD, who intends to continue developing these products and to extend the suite as part of its strategy to address the needs of customers in its core vertical markets. The transaction is expected to close by the end of April 2008.

QAD will also continue to deliver services and support to existing users of FullTilt's products, effective immediately and without interruption. Bob Moyer, co-founder and president, will lead the PIM Product Unit within QAD and brings with him key employees of FullTilt.

PIM and MDM solutions help companies create a "single view" of a product across their enterprise by separately managing all data, processes, and trading relationships, both internal and external, related to that product. QAD sees these capabilities as integral to its continuing effort to bring its customers "Total Enterprise Capability" in their IT systems.

"We are very pleased to welcome Bob Moyer and his team to QAD," said Pamela Lopker, founder and president of QAD. "We believe that FullTilt's products represents the 'state of the art' in the PIM and MDM market, and the addition of Perfect Product Suite to our portfolio will allow QAD to deliver a complete solution to customers in this important area. We see these capabilities as critical in furthering our Vision for the Perfect Lean Market."

Perfect Product Suite has been built using an extensible service-oriented architecture (SOA) targeting cross-function, end-to-end business processes. It automates the internal and external data synchronization processes necessary to ensure that product information is accurate, relevant and dynamic within the enterprise and throughout the supply chain.

"I am excited to have joined QAD and feel that their focus on customers and commitment to the PIM and MDM markets are strongly aligned with ours," said Bob Moyer. "I look forward to driving development of the PIM solution and gaining new customers, as well as continuing to grow relationships with existing FullTilt users."

Note to Investors: This press release contains certain forward-looking statements made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, evolving demand for the company's software products and products that operate with the company's products; the company's ability to sustain license and service demand; the company's ability to leverage changes in technology; the company's ability to sustain customer renewal rates at current levels; the publication of opinions by industry and financial analysts about the company, its products and technology; the reliability of estimates of transaction and integration costs and benefits; the entry of new competitors or new offerings by existing competitors and the associated announcement of new products and technological advances by them; delays in localizing the company's products for new or existing markets; the ability to recruit and retain key personnel; delays in sales as a result of lengthy sales cycles; changes in operating expenses, pricing, timing of new product releases, the method of product distribution or product mix; timely and effective integration of newly acquired businesses; general economic conditions; exchange rate fluctuations; and, the global political environment. In addition, revenue and earnings in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software industry are subject to fluctuations. Software license revenue, in particular, is subject to variability with a significant proportion of revenue earned in the last month of each quarter. Given the high margins associated with license revenue, modest fluctuations can have a substantial impact on net income. Investors should not use any one quarter's results as a benchmark for future performance. For a more detailed description of the risk factors associated with the company and the industries in which it operates, please refer to the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 ended January 31, 2008.
