Applix continues to boost performance management throughout the enterprise with Applix 9.1

WESTBOROUGH, MA, February 13, 2007 -- Applix, Inc. (Nasdaq: APLX), a global leader in performance management applications, today introduced Applix 9.1, which enhances performance management across the enterprise for improved operational visibility and greater agility in the market. New features of Applix 9.1 enable businesses to perform reporting from the Web, more easily configure planning applications, and create their own custom dashboards and scorecards - all while taking advantage of Applix's strengths in rapid deployment, ease-of-use and rapid query response benefits.

"Understanding that businesses need to work more nimbly than ever, we assessed the Applix platform over this past year. The Applix 9.1 release adds many features to help a company set a broader, more strategic vision," said Ben Plummer, vice president, worldwide marketing, Applix, Inc. "Now an enterprise can optimize performance of all departments - with a single platform that reaches farther, deploys easier, and reacts faster than any solution in the market today."

Reaching Farther

A key component of this release, Applix's self-service Executive Viewer now provides enhanced support for accessing Applix databases as well as other data sources for faster, more comprehensive views into business performance. When designing their own Web-based reports, Executive Viewer users have one-click access to dynamic sets of data, such as 'Top 10 products' or 'non-profit organizations,' as well as links from reports to related SQL data sources.

This version also introduces new features that permit organizations to extend the value of Applix's applications to their custom applications and portals. Users can plug and play Applix documents such as planning templates, reports, and charts within corporate portals such as Microsoft's SharePoint or custom Web applications. Applix's Websheets, dashboards, PDFs, and Microsoft Office documents can all be integrated into Applix 9.1 Web applications. For even greater flexibility, IT departments can easily configure complete Web applications for business analytics using the new robust .NET interface.

Deploying Easier

Applix 9.1 also boosts the capabilities of Applix Web applications to new heights. With wizards, users can rapidly design and deploy Web applications as well as set up personalized home pages with navigation to reports and templates for planning and analytical applications.

Applix 9.1 Guided Web Applications navigate occasional users through personalized templates, forms, and reports required to complete their performance management tasks. This version now empowers end users to perform data maintenance activities, such as adding a new project or creating new "sandbox" planning scenarios, with buttons that draw context from current worksheets.

Reacting Faster

Designed to service enterprise-grade applications, this release offers features that improve stability and scalability as well support levels for greater numbers and kinds of users. Version 9.1 provides both IT and Applix administrators with improved transparency into the performance and health of server operations. Applix 9.1 technology also enables high levels of concurrent activity for both read-write and read-only users, which translates to a greater number of different users tapping the solution simultaneously, with faster response times - critical to businesses focused upon nimbleness in their markets.
