INVISTA Weaves Greater Insight Into Reporting With Hyperion Software; Fiber, Apparel and Interior Industry Leader to Use Hyperion Financial Management for Legal Entity and Management Level Reporting

Business Wire, July 25, 2005

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Hyperion (Nasdaq:HYSL), the global leader in Business Performance Management software, today announced that INVISTA, one of the world's largest integrated fiber, resin and intermediates companies, will use Hyperion Financial Management to consolidate legal entity and management reporting into a unified financial management platform.

Following a recent merger, the company found that it needed to combine disparate enterprise systems. Longtime Hyperion customer INVISTA had relied on Hyperion Enterprise for legal entity reporting, using a mainframe system in one business unit and spreadsheets in another business unit for management reporting. Its selection of Hyperion Financial Management is a move to eliminate those multiple sources for reporting to produce a single, unified report for its global operations.

"We were looking for a comprehensive, Web-based solution for collection, consolidation and reporting," said Anand Bahl, performance reporting director at INVISTA. "The Hyperion software will make it possible for us to leverage the investment in our SAP enterprise resource planning system and improve our financial close as well as build a sustainable compliance framework for use in the future."
