Press Release Summary: EC plans to promote these best-in-class products to all
market segments that require engineering calculations, content publishing systems
and project management over the web, in the region.

Press Release Body: Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 6, 2008: Emirates Computers
today announced that they are planning to launch PTC’s Mathcad 14.0 - a world-class
generic calculation tool that combines document creation and mathematical
calculations, and Arbortext - a content publishing system that streamlines and
automates the company’s information publishing process, at GITEX Technology Week
2008.

“Emirates Computers is happy to introduce Mathcad 14.0, Arbortext and ProjectLink at
GITEX Technology Week, which is a perfect platform to launch these world-class
software solutions to the regional market. With so much development taking place
here, there is a huge potential for Mathcad, Arbortext and ProjectLink in this
region,” says Mr. Dani Diab, Vice President and General Manager of Emirates
Computers, Abu Dhabi

“Top engineers across the globe use Mathcad to perform, document and share
calculation and design work. The unique Mathcad visual format and scratchpad
interface integrate standard mathematical notation, text and graphs in a single
worksheet makes Mathcad ideal for knowledge capture, calculation reuse, and
engineering collaboration,” Mr. Jean Eid, Product Manager – PTC, Emirates Computers
adds.

Mathcad is engineering calculation software that drives innovation and offers
significant personal and process productivity advantages for product development and
engineering design projects. Unlike proprietary calculating tools and spreadsheets,
Mathcad lets engineers design and document engineering calculations simultaneously
with comprehensive applied math functionality and dynamic, unit-aware calculations.
Unlike other math calculation management software, Mathcad is easy to learn and use,
with no special programming skills required. Mathcad increases productivity, saving
engineers time and reducing errors, improves verification and validation of critical
calculations, and promotes calculation best practices and reuse of calculation
content.

“Arbortext, on the other hand, is the industry’s first and only integral solution
that helps companies collaboratively author, manage, publish and dynamically deliver
accurate documentation. It is an XML based publishing system that enables companies
to create and organize publications easier, faster with the capability for
structured changes,” Mr. Eid explains.

Arbortext is a content publishing system that streamlines and automates the
company’s information publishing process and eliminates costly inefficiencies.
Leveraging XML authoring, technical illustration creation, content and process
management, and dynamic enterprise publishing capabilities of Arbortext, the company
can improve its publishing processes and help the organization gain significant
competitive advantage and lasting differentiation.

Arbortext improves customer satisfaction by delivering high-quality personalized
documentation that is accurate, consistent, and relevant. It reduces costs by
dynamically publishing the company’s business information to all formats - print and
electronic - from a single source of content, and eliminates redundant work by
streamlining authoring, technical illustration design, translation, review, and
publishing processes and increases workforce efficiency by supplying service and
manufacturing organizations with real-time, customized instructions with embedded
interactive graphics for all required procedures. Arbortext speeds the compliance
process by enabling faster, more complete documentation, accurate document tracking,
and automated document workflow and delivers products to market faster by developing
documentation concurrently with product designs.

“Finally, ProjectLink is a web-based project and program management system that
enables organizations to easily execute projects and inspires collaboration among
members of the extended team. It facilitates innovation by providing all the tools
necessary to bring globally dispersed teams together as if working in the same
room,” Mr. Eid explains.

Windchill ProjectLink creates a virtual workspace that enables all potential team
members to access up-to-the-minute data on any project. And with ProjectLink,
launching new projects is easy. A user simply logs on, sets up the project from a
customer-defined template, invites participants and the team is off and running –
all with minimal or no IT involvement. By providing members with access to the right
information at the right time, teams keep moving quickly – in the right direction.
Team members are alerted when changes occur to schedules, documents, designs and
other information in their projects. In addition the system has robust CAD
visualization tools, discussion forums and real time web-meeting capabilities that
let teams focus on projects, share thoughts, build on each other’s input and capture
innovative ideas as they evolve. This ideal environment facilitates the capture of
good ideas and best practices from internal team members, as well as from suppliers,
partners and customers.

Emirates Computers will be demonstrating the features and benefits of Mathcad 14.0,
and Arbortext and Projectlink at its Stand No. C4-1, in Hall 4 at Gitex Technology
Week 2008. Appointments can be made for Abortext and Projectlink demonstrations
during the evening sessions by contacting the stand personnel. In addition to
launching these software solutions, Emirates Computers will also showcasing its
‘SMART Data Center’ technologies based on Green, eco-friendly and sustainable
technologies at the mega technology exhibition.
