Market Wire, September, 2005

Pilot® Software, the original provider of operational performance management solutions, today announced Amplios as its master distributor in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Offering performance management solutions since 2000, Amplios has deep expertise serving the diverse needs of organizations -- whether they are just starting out, getting ready to build their solution or are looking to sustain performance. Pilot is the only dedicated performance management solution offered and supported by Amplios in the Asia Pacific and Middle East region.

"When we first started offering performance management software, both the market and the technology we offered were in its infancy. But as our customers' demands changed, so did our need to offer a more advanced performance management solution," said Wilson Fyffe, founder of Amplios. "Not only does Pilot offer us the right solution to meet our users evolving requirements, but the Pilot team is also a pleasure to work with. We look forward to establishing Pilot as the performance management solution of choice in Asia Pacific and the Middle East regions."

With an impressive client base including global brands such as Microsoft, Matsushita and Sun Microsystems, Amplios has built a solid reputation for supporting and recommending only the best quality software solutions that will grow with its customers' needs.

"Getting started on performance management is much easier than sustaining performance," said Kurt J. Bilafer, vice president of worldwide sales & services. "Pilot's advanced solutions, which supports one of the most advanced performance management solutions in the U.S. federal government, coupled with Amplios' ability to apply technology at every stage of the performance management lifecycle will ensure customers realize both short- and long-term performance management success."
