ANTIVIA EXPANDS INTO NORTH AMERICA THROUGH A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH INFOSOL


Sydney, Australia – 7th September, 2007 — Antivia Pty Limited, an innovator in information-centric hierarchy management and business intelligence 2.0 (BI 2.0) software solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with InfoSol Inc., a Business Objects platinum partner based in Phoenix, Arizona.

“From the outset, we knew that North America was a very important market for us and it was critical therefore that we found the right partner to work with” said Mark Sands, CEO and co-founder, Antivia. “Of course, they had to tick all the usual boxes for the right kind of experience, track record and skill set. However, just as important to us was a company that shared our vision for delivering innovative business intelligence solutions for their customers. InfoSol is a high quality and highly regarded organisation who understands what it takes to help their customers be successful and we are delighted to be working with them.”

As part of the agreement, Antivia’s flagship products, Scenario for BusinessObjects™ and Antivia Desktop™ are to be distributed throughout North America by InfoSol.

“We are very excited to be offering the Antivia Desktop and Scenario solutions to our customers. These are exactly the type of forward thinking products that will take Business Intelligence to the next level of its evolution. While so many BI vendors focus on just the product, Antivia is clearly user-centric and developing solutions by listening to the user, collaborating with the user and delivering for the user”, said an enthusiastic Paul Grill, President and CEO of InfoSol.

Antivia Desktop is the framework upon which Antivia’s range of BI 2.0 solutions is delivered. Designed to take full advantage of an organisation’s existing business intelligence investment, Antivia Desktop delivers a range of capabilities focused on enabling users to bring the power, flexibility and freedom of the next generation web to the business intelligence environment of today. Key elements of Antivia Desktop include:

• Community Forums

• Rate my reports

• What’s hot, what’s not

• Community Polls

Scenario for BusinessObjects is designed to utilize the power of the market leading BI platform, BusinessObjects XI and allow users to:

• Manage the information hierarchies within their BusinessObjects reports.

• Manipulate hierarchies and instantly see changes on reports.

• Save hierarchies and re-apply them at any time to newer versions of documents.

• Share hierarchy ideas with other users in their community.
