Eric Apps, President of ANGOSS, noted that each of these programs was carefully designed having regard to the specific needs and requirements of the participants in each market segment. "Our customers have always played an important role in shaping our approach to the commercialization of our data mining product offerings. They have helped us define these specific programs and we are pleased to be able to make them available as broad-based offerings. In addition to providing us with opportunities to take our sales and marketing message into some new revenue generating areas in a focussed way, these programs fulfill more fundamental strategic objectives and demonstrate the flexibility of our components-based architecture.

"Our intention in establishing these programs is to achieve additional exposure in these three key areas -- all of which will contribute to future revenue growth and mind share for ANGOSS with users in the influential consulting, developer and educational communities. In our existing markets, we are moving aggressively on all fronts to maintain our position as the world's leading supplier of user friendly, powerful and accessible data mining tools and business solutions based on our data mining technology. This approach is consistent with and will reinforce our own focus on using KnowledgeSTUDIO as the platform for directly developing our own proprietary solutions for business users. These programs also reaffirm the pioneering role of ANGOSS in shaping the development of this industry."
