A3 Solutions Paving the Way for Profit Center Customers to Convert to A3 Modeling

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — January 29, 2003 — A3 Solutions, Inc., a pioneer in spreadsheet-centric software technology, announced that distinct from any other technology before it, A3 Modeling makes it possible for enterprises to enjoy visibility to any desired level of business detail in their planning processes. And for A3 Profit CenterT customers, Web-based A3 Modeling allows them to effortlessly reach a wider audience within their enterprise. Now, to simplify the transition to A3 Modeling for its current customers, A3 Solutions announces the availability of the A3 Modeling Conversion Tool as part of the A3 Migration Package.

For current customers in production with A3 Profit CenterT, a test drive of the A3 Modeling Conversion Tool is a terrific way to see detailed budgets and forecasts over the Web. A3 Modeling continues the A3 Profit Center tradition of enabling powerful enterprise applications with a spreadsheet front-end. And, it combines that capability with the deployability, collaboration and access advantages of a true Web application.

How It Works

The A3 Modeling Conversion Tool takes A3 Profit Center XP™ templates and converts them into "models," the Web-distributable equivalents within modeling. For most Profit Center XP templates, a few clicks of the mouse will transform the template automatically. This includes conversion of all business logic as well as front-end formatting.

The A3 Modeling Conversion Tool is now available to A3 Profit Center customers with the A3 Modeling Migration package, which includes software, administrative training and migration services for current Profit Center templates. No faster or more economical way to begin planning on the Web is available.

Customers who would like to see how the A3 Modeling Conversion Tool can transform their A3 Profit Center templates or how an A3 Profit Center template might look on the Web can contact their A3 Solutions account manager to schedule a demonstration at (800) 666-CUBE (2823) or sales@a3solutions.com.
