Pinnacle Releases Summit, a New XML-Based Global Reporting Solution

LAS VEGAS, NV, May 5, 2003 -- Pinnacle Technology Partners, Inc., a leading international business and financial consulting services organization, announced today the release of Pinnacle Summit. Summit is an XML-based global financial reporting solution using a familiar Microsoft Excel interface.

Pinnacle Summit introduces many new features and commands that allow accountants and financial analysts to work more efficiently and effectively when reviewing their business performance. Users will be able to quickly search and navigate dimensions, suppress zero or null data, and scale results to thousands or millions. Pinnacle Summit is architected to operate in a global reporting environment, allowing users to work offline and not interfere with nightly backups.

"Pinnacle Summit represents a new breed of global reporting tool," comments Andrew Jorgensen, President of Pinnacle Technology Partners. "With more emphasis on Sarbanes-Oxley, companies are striving to get quality numbers from their divisions and subsidiaries. Summit allows you to spread ownership and accountability across the enterprise like never before."

Pinnacle Summit is currently available for Hyperion Enterprise versions 5.5 and higher and requires the use of Microsoft Internet Information Server. Financial users may use Pinnacle Summit with Microsoft Excel 97, 2000, or XP.
