Clarity Systems Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant of 2007 Magic Quadrant for CPM Suites

Evaluation based on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision

TORONTO, ON (January 8, 2008) - Clarity Systems, a leader in corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant in the ‘Magic Quadrant for CPM Suites, 2007’* report.

“We believe Gartner's report acknowledges our software for its openness, flexibility and depth of functionality in all areas of CPM,” says Mark Nashman, President, Clarity Systems. “In my opinion, it distinguishes Clarity Systems as a thought leader and innovator in the CPM market.”

Clarity Systems is one of the remaining independent CPM specialists providing enterprises with a truly unified and open approach to CPM with its feature solution, Clarity 6. In comparison to solutions offered by larger vendors, who are currently in the process of rationalizing acquired products, Clarity 6 is preferred by leading organizations for offering a complete, web based application that leverages Excel and Web interfaces.

Earlier this year Clarity Systems extended its CPM solution with the launch of Clarity FSR (Financial Statement Reporting) - a revolutionary product that makes it easier for organizations to create and submit external financial and regulatory reports such as the 10K and 10Q. Clarity FSR is the only product of its kind on the market and has helped to strengthen Clarity’s leadership in the CPM market.

“Clarity is the natural choice for companies looking for an independent CPM specialist offering a best-of-breed solution,” said Nashman. “Our focus has been to provide a single, unified and open CPM solution to our customers to help them accurately plan, analyze and report on organizational performance. Clarity’s strength in the CPM market is evident through our more than 100 per cent year-on-year growth in license revenue. We believe Gartner's Magic Quadrant for CPM Suites recognizes what our customers already understand: Clarity delivers visionary CPM solutions to the market.”
