LAS VEGAS, June 27, 2005 -- SAP America, Inc., a subsidiary of SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), today announced an expanded portfolio of financial management applications for small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) offered through its growing network of solution partners for SAP(R) Business One. SAP Business One solution partners Altec, FXport Technology, Inc., Information Systems Group, Inc. (isgi) and Tenrox have joined with SAP to deliver new capabilities in the areas of finance and accounting, including document management, project accounting and risk management. The announcement was made at TECH 2005: The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) annual information technology conference being held in Las Vegas, Nev., June 27-29.

The new components integrate seamlessly with SAP Business One, SAP's affordable business management software solution for SMEs, and meet the growing need for applications that can automate financials and accounting as part of a company's core business processes.

"Increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements and tax issues are making it more and more difficult for small businesses to rely solely on spreadsheet solutions to meet their reporting needs," said Peter Russo, director, Entrepreneurial Management Institute, Boston University, School of Management, CPA. "Financial management solutions with the versatility to manage diverse functions in real time can help meet the rigorous demands of running a small business and provide a clear-cut path to financial transparency."

"Planning for future growth while adhering to current regulatory measures, the SAP Business One solution has allowed us to fully automate financial controls and discover new, lasting efficiencies by connecting business processes onto one platform throughout our internal operations," said Garry Lowenthal, executive vice president and CFO, Viper Powersports, a leading designer and manufacturer of "custom factory built" Viper Super Cruiser motorcycles. "We are now confident in our ability to meet the requirements of Section 302 of Sarbanes-Oxley. We expect to be in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 and to voluntarily comply with those requirements well ahead of the current reporting deadlines for companies our size."

The growing financial management portfolio complements SAP's CPA Advisor Program, through which the company and its partners offer information and insights that assist participating CPAs in advising their growing small business clients on taking advantage of the expanding functionality of SAP Business One. Discussions focus on updated information on the impact of regulatory requirements of small businesses, offering continuing education courses on effective new technology for streamlining business processes and connecting financial functions with all aspects of the enterprise.
