Applix Inc.

Applix (NASDAQ:APLX) provides business intelligence (BI) and business performance management (BPM) software solutions. These solutions, based on the proven TM1 platform, enable our customers to continuously manage and monitor the performance of their financial, operational functions, with views of past performance, the current state of the business, and opportunities for the future.

• For business intelligence and business performance management, TM1 is the only read/write software for planning, forecasting, reporting, and strategic business analysis. TM1 transforms scattered Excel and transactional data into an auditable, single version of the truth.
• The TM1 planning platform is better than other BI/BPM solutions such as Hyperion and Cognos because the software is easily configurable and deploys rapidly with minimal IT investment. TM1's proven, low total cost of ownership enables business users in financial and line-of-business roles to achieve their goals.
• With TM1's what-if capability providing instant responses , a company's budgeting and planning processes move its team beyond decision-making based only on historical data and enables them to make rapid decisions to meet the demands of market leadership.

Fueled by input from our customers and backed by our strong BI industry experience, we have extended our analytics solutions into the emerging BPM market. TM1 is being enhanced with capabilities such as workflow and application management for interactive decision making across all levels of the enterprise to align individuals' targets with strategic objectives.

With solutions based on the TM1 platform, our customers have increased their business performance in a multitude of ways such as achieving their business goals within 6 months on the average, freeing up personnel to concentrate on strategic planning rather than on data gathering, reducing customer defections, improving customer satisfaction, shortening business planning and reporting cycles from days to minutes, and rapidly managing mergers and acquisitions.

Along with its global network of partners, Applix also delivers packaged and custom applications for specific vertical markets such as pharmaceuticals/healthcare, retail, consumer goods, banking, financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, travel and media, government, and logistics.
