COM DEV Wins Applix SuperHero Award by Demonstrating Leadership in Business Analytics.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Applix, Inc. (NasdaqGS: APLX), a leader in business analytics software, today presented its SuperHero Award to COM DEV International Limited, the largest Canadian-based designer and manufacturer of space hardware subsystems, before a record-breaking crowd at the Applix International User Conference (AIUG).

The 2007 SuperHero Award recognizes an Applix customer who has demonstrated cutting-edge use of Applix's business analytics solutions to meet the business intelligence and performance management needs of an agile company. COM DEV technologies form the heart of satellite communications systems by providing the critical transponder filtering and switching required by the satellite operator. Since its products are purchased by numerous satellite prime contractors from around the globe, COM DEV required a single, complete business analytics platform with fully-integrated forecasting and analysis capabilities.

COM DEV's integrated forecasting and analysis solution met the following key SuperHero Award criteria:

* Deploys Easier -- The total development time for COM DEV's Phase I was 55 days, which included integration with its SAP system and project costing, adding value in as little as 20 days.

* Reaches Farther -- The Company has developed reports via the Web that incorporate data from various parts of the organization, including finance, contract administration, human resources and project management.

* Reacts Faster -- Daily solution updates enable continuous, accurate re-forecasting of critical information, accelerate accounting workflow with improved accuracy and timeliness, and automate manual processes.

"We are honored to receive the Applix SuperHero Award," said Sean Maybee, vice president, finance, COM DEV Limited. "Our business continues to expand into adjacent segments of the market and so we decided to obtain a high-performance business analytics platform that could easily be interfaced from our existing ERP framework and could then be rolled out across our international operations. We were looking for a solution that would easily allow us to analyze the ever-changing business environment under which we operate and Applix delivered."

"We were very pleased with all the impressive applications submitted for this year's SuperHero Award," said Ben Plummer, vice president, marketing and strategic alliances, Applix, Inc. "COM DEV in particular met all the key criteria of how we define an agile company by demonstrating exemplary levels of innovation and business results."
