:IMNY IMNY Internet Marketers of New York ), the leading provider of advanced Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM CLM - Career Limiting Move ) solutions for managing corporate commitments, today announced that chairman of the board of directors, John A. Rade, has been appointed president and chief executive officer of I-many.

Rade had assumed the position on an interim basis in February 2006 while the company continued the process of searching for the best possible candidate for the position. Following an extensive search and interview process, the company's selection committee, chaired by director Steven L. Fingerhood, determined Rade would be the most qualified to lead the company.

"I-many made an excellent choice last year when it asked John to serve as our chairman. From his first day he displayed qualities that have earned our admiration and respect," said Fingerhood. "He's an extremely competent, experienced, and dynamic executive with tremendous integrity and a lucid vision for the company and its opportunity in the marketplace. John played an active, hands-on role as chairman, and his experience and influence were critical in putting I-many on the right track during this last year of transition."

"We have had the opportunity to review numerous highly-qualified CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  candidates, but as we moved through this process we realized that we had the most highly qualified candidate already hard at work exercising leadership and moving I-many forward," continued Fingerhood. "Since John assumed the position as president and CEO on an interim basis, his energy and dedication to the company's mission, combined with the performance of I-many, made it increasingly clear that the company would be best served by making his position permanent."

Rade joined the I-many board of directors in June of 2005, while the company was undergoing a number of management and operational changes. A software industry veteran of more than 35 years, Rade has extensive experience in senior management roles at several leading software and high-tech companies. Commented Rade, "The last twelve months have seen tremendous transformation and progress at I-many, of which I'm exceedingly proud to have played a part. I'm particularly appreciative of our talented and dedicated people with whom I have worked with so closely over the last months. They have created and taken to market what is clearly the most complete and most powerful solution for CLM that makes I-many a world-leader in this space.

"I accepted the position because I strongly believe our unique CLM solution for this emerging market has created an uncommon opportunity for a tremendous triple-win for the company, its customers, and its stockholders - indeed, this was the reason I joined the board last year. More importantly, I believe I can continue to make a difference. Over the past five months, I have seen the company come together and begin to flourish. Fresh ideas are springing up, along with a renewed enthusiasm to win and succeed. I'm confident that as president and CEO I can continue to effectively lead the I-many team, be an agent of positive change, and help I-many unlock the inherent potential I've been preaching about since day one. I'm grateful to the members of the board for giving me this opportunity."

Rade served as president and CEO of AXS-One, Inc. (formerly Computron Software, Inc., a publicly traded software company) from 1997 to 2004, and lead a transformation of the company that produced eleven consecutive quarters of profitable growth.
