STAR ANALYTICS' ANNOUNCES NEW VERSION OF STAR INTEGRATION SERVER (SIS)

Powerful New Features in 2.1 Release Make SIS a Significant Product in Hyperion BPM Market

Star Analytics, Inc. announces a new version of Star Analytics' Star Integration Server (SIS), available immediately. This new release, Version 2.1 brings a host of powerful and significant new features to customers of the Hyperion (NSDQ:HYSL) Business Performance Management suite of products.

According to Quinlan K. Eddy, President of Star Analytics, "SIS 2.1 offers users of Hyperion BPMTM, including Hyperion PlanningTM and Hyperion Financial ManagementTM(HFM), a powerful way to capitalize on their investment in Hyperion, by unlocking their data and easily exchanging it with other financial systems around the enterprise."

"Among many other benefits, SIS Version 2.1 offers our customers a fifteen-fold performance increase in extraction of HFM data, as well as the ability to extract information from remote Hyperion servers across a global network," said Eddy. "It also provides an audit trail to determine data mortality, enhanced security to assist with SOX compliance, and a greatly improved user interface."

Existing customers of the SIS product are saying very positive things about the new release. "SIS version 2.1 is a valuable enhancement to a product that we've been using for months, and will help us to improve distribution of Hyperion data to other key financial systems," said Cindy Lee, Senior Manager of Symantec's Hyperion systems at Symantec Corporation (NSDQ:SYMC). "It cost us more to evaluate the available alternatives to your SIS product than it cost us to simply buy it," said one SIS customer, a Director of Finance Systems at a Major Aircraft Manufacturer.
