EAST NORRITON, PA (February 13, 2003) -- ActiveStrategy, Inc. (www.activestrategy.com), the leader in software and consulting solutions for strategy execution, today announced the general release of ActiveStrategy Enterprise 2.0. The numerous enhancements focus on providing greater flexibility, additional methodologies, and expanded frameworks for automating performance management systems within organizations that require unique systems and processes. The new release is currently available to all customers.

Release 2.0 functionality enhancements cover the following areas:

1. Enhanced Scorecard Functionality
2. Enhanced Measure Functionality
3. Enhanced Ownership Functionality
4. Advanced Graphing Capabilities
5. New Dashboard Interface Options
6. New and Enhanced User Profiles
7. New Email Alert Notification Options

9. New External Application Linkages
10. Enhanced User Page Configuration

ActiveStrategy Enterprise 2.0 enables organizations that have developed unique methods and frameworks of deploying and executing strategies to tailor the application so that it supports their exact needs. Although the balanced scorecard is one of the most commonly recognized frameworks for managing performance, many large organizations alter the structure and linkages, add sophisticated workflow to enable improvement actions, and integrate multiple periphery systems to achieve greater cultural acceptance and longer lasting effectiveness. To support such comprehensive internal systems, ActiveStrategy Enterprise 2.0 provides the tremendous breadth of functionality required to meet most any approach to enable greater strategy execution capability.

ActiveStrategy Enterprise is designed to act as a key component within the Gartner Corporate Performance Management (CPM) vision, an umbrella term used to describe the methodologies, metrics, processes and systems used to monitor and manage an enterprise's business performance. ActiveStrategy Enterprise moves beyond reporting of performance measures and extends to the automation of the objectives, workflow and processes necessary to drive strategic business results. According to Gartner, Inc. research, "The CPM suite should offer strong workflow capacities, but, ideally, it should link into the workflow infrastructures that enterprises already use for broader purposes."

"With this release, we have capitalized on our extensive domain expertise in the field of strategy execution, as well as our close client relationships, to elevate an already market-leading software solution," said Jeff Bunting, President and COO, ActiveStrategy, Inc. "Our organization intensely focuses on helping our clients achieve their bottom-line strategic goals, and this new release illustrates our clear leadership in this realm."

ActiveStrategy, Inc. exclusively focuses on delivering the leading enterprise application suite and management consulting services to improve the execution of strategic business plans. The Enterprise Strategy Execution (ESE) management process, embodied in the application suite, encompasses the strategic planning process, objective and measure deployment, alignment to business processes, performance reporting, and improvement initiative management. The application supports all major management methodologies including the Balanced Scorecard, Malcolm Baldrige Criteria, Six Sigma, and Management By Objectives. ActiveStrategy clients include leading pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare, hospitality, and electronics manufacturing corporations.
