Planview Intensifies Push into the Federal Market

New alliance agreements with Fujitsu Consulting and SRA to extend portfolio management solutions to Capital Planning and Investment Control, Earned Value Management, Enterprise Architecture and OMB Exhibit 300 processes

New version of Micro-Frame Program Manager (MPM) provides access to metrics and trends across multiple Earned Value Management programs

Austin, TX — April 18, 2007 — Planview, the largest independent provider of portfolio management solutions, today announced new alliances and products that will further extend its presence in the federal market and enable both federal agencies and contractors to show the value they deliver.

The announcement includes alliances with Fujitsu Consulting and SRA International, both of which have added Planview Enterprise to their federal consulting services. SRA will integrate Planview Enterprise portfolio management software into its federal Enterprise Architecture (EA) services. For Fujitsu Consulting, Planview Enterprise will support their end-to-end portfolio management solution to meet the demands of Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC), Earned Value Management (EVM), Enterprise Architecture and OMB Exhibit 300 processes.

In addition to these alliances, Planview is unveiling a new version of the Micro-Frame Program Manager (MPM), a leading solution for EVM for agencies and contractors. The new MPM 3.2 enables organizations to efficiently manage multiple EVM programs by providing access to a consolidated database of all projects and programs in MPM, enabling users to assess metrics across multiple programs.

MPM is compliant with ANSI/EIA-748, and applied on some of the most critical programs in the U.S., including the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, NASA and the Department of Transportation. MPM joined the Planview product family in February when Planview acquired Business Engine, and is today used by hundreds of organizations, including eight of the top 10 aerospace and defense contractors.

"This latest version of MPM enables Planview to more effectively serve federal agencies and contractors by consolidating their performance measurement metrics across programs," said Pat Durbin, Planview founder and CEO. "The alliances announced today and the products that we bring to market will help federal agencies and contractors overcome information "silos" via a single platform solution. Planview products support the entire investment lifecycle and improve financial management by aligning strategic business initiatives to agency and program funding sources."

With the federal government spending more than $65 billion a year on IT, agencies are under increased pressure to achieve and show the greatest value possible for their budgets.

The new alliance agreements and Planview Enterprise address the growing demand in the federal agencies for portfolio management solutions to help adhere to multiple processes such as CPIC, EVM, EA and OMB Exhibit 300. Up to now, agencies would use a separate solution for each process. Planview offers a comprehensive solution that brings efficiency through integrating facets of these processes to help agencies more easily drive compliance as a part of everyday business practices.

Planview software is used by more than 500 organizations in financial, insurance, healthcare, government and other markets to make better decisions about IT investments, manage programs and projects, and share information across organizations. Planview Enterprise is currently used by leading federal entities such as the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army. Planview opened its federal office in Fairfax, VA in May, 2005.
