Press Release Summary: New release of financial data management platform GAIN
follows trend to integrate multiple data sources along with functionalities for
enterprise wide data management

Press Release Body: VIENNA (Austria), 1st July 2008 - AIM Software, a leading
provider of enterprise data management solutions, today announced the new release of
its flagship data management product GAIN. AIM Software's GAIN platform offers
extended facilities for golden copy management and new support for Windows Server
2008 / Windows Vista.

The modular and scalable reference data management platform GAIN enables clients to
process data of a multitude of the world's leading end-of-day and real-time data
feeds.

The main challenge in reference data management lies in the reduction of manual
exception handling by automatic data scrubbing rules. The newest release GAIN 4.1
offers extensions to the golden copy platform, providing advanced data consolidation
functionalities along with improved usability and an enhanced user interface. The
recent release helps to further boost the management of data quality by an extended
audit trail, historization and error-logging and hence further supports the
reduction of error-prone manual work. In addition the overall performance could be
further increased by unlocking processing synergies.

\"The new release reflects the growing demands of our clients. Based on the feedback
of our large customer base and our regular market research we enhanced GAIN by a
number of new functionalities and further improved already existing features,\" said
Martin Buchberger, Head of Marketing and Sales at AIM Software. \"We put a strong
emphasis on continuous product improvement, enabling our clients to optimize their
data management processes and to provide them with an intuitive and future-proof
solution that can be implemented in only days or weeks.\"

Like former versions, GAIN 4.1 is a modular and scalable enterprise data management
platform. The out-of-the-box approach and the modularity can cover both the needs of
small-, medium and large-size financial institutions.

\"AIM Software\'s philosophy is not a brute force STP approach, but we first analyze
the return of each project step and then focus on achieving a smooth and
cost-efficient automation of existing manual processes,\" Buchberger continued.

So far AIM Software's solution has more than 110 reference installations worldwide,
including banks, insurances and fund managers in the United States, the main
European financial centres and in Japan. GAIN 4.1 is scheduled to be rolled out in
about 10 financial institutions in the second half of 2008.

Summary of features of GAIN 4.1:
- NEW: Support for Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008

Bulletin Reports
