Munich, Germany and Westborough, MA, July 12, 2005 - Applix, Inc. (Nasdaq: APLX), a global provider of single platform solutions for Business Performance Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI), announced today that Airbus SAS will rely on its TM1 platform to manage the company's engineering activities. Headquartered in Toulouse, France, Airbus is a cooperative venture of EADS (80 percent) and BAE Systems (20 percent). Airbus successfully implemented Applix's TM1® solution in finance in 2004 and is now extending its BPM solution with additional licenses for approximately 100 controllers at the 16 Engineering Competency Centers located in France, Germany, the UK, and Spain.

In addition to ad-hoc-reporting, planning, and simulations, staff at the Airbus headquarters will use TM1 to carry out monthly reporting as well as developing annual statements for the engineering group. The Engineering Competency Centers identifies Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and via TM1, presents these to users in a scorecard. "Our target is to generate immediate, informative analysis and KPIs, and to improve the performance of engineering development," explained Anja Quakernack, Manager, Financial Engineering Reporting at Airbus. "With Applix TM1, the company and the Engineering Competency Center have found an application that meets their requirements for a single data source as well as for volume and speed."

"Providing TM1 to the Engineering Competency Centers at Airbus means that all responsible employees can go about their daily routine more productively while also having more time for analysis, reporting or the more common planning and controlling projects," explained Hans-Georg Schieb, General Manager Central Europe, Applix. "Moreover, the integration of Applix TM1 with SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) and other operating systems at Airbus guarantees the team consistent data, and that means more time to focus on Airbus' self-identified business drivers."
