DAYS-TO-VALUE IS JUST IN TIME FOR PLANNING SEASON A3 Solutions Launches New Enterprise Planning Program SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — July 30, 2002 — A3 Solutions, Inc., a pioneer in spreadsheet-centric software technology, announced today its "Days-to-Value" offering - a program for enterprises needing to grow their planning systems before the start of their next planning cycle. Even though the start of the planning season is just weeks away, "Days-to-Value" makes it possible for enterprises to grow their planning processes in critical ways. The current economic environment will make this year's planning season even more challenging, especially for those enterprises sensitive to employee-related compensation costs and those facing critical capital investment decisions. "Regardless of business conditions, our customers must remain competitive in their respective markets, said Robert Lautt, chief executive officer and president at A3 Solutions. "And now, more than ever before, managing enterprise performance to targets set forth in a financial plan is the best way to manage operational competitiveness. Our 'Days-to-Value' program makes sense for planning teams wanting to stay ahead of the curve." Made possible by proven-in-production A3 Profit Center XP™, "Days-to-Value" offers:
Even with proven technology, there is risk to a buying enterprise that a new technology will accomplish production in a meaningful time frame. At A3 Solutions, risks are identified and managed up-front.

For the enterprise committed to planning on Hyperion Essbase, IBM DB2 OLAP, or Showcase, "Days-to-Value" makes incremental expansion of an existing system a risk-free decision. "More than usual, planning teams have acute need to grow their systems," said Stuart Ratner chief operations officer at A3 Solutions. "The "Days-to-Value" program is our company's way of guaranteeing incremental expansion of existing planning applications." With "Days-to-Value", an enterprise can grow its current OLAP-based system with modeling packages that are powered by A3 Profit Center XP:
