ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 1999--

Comshare(R) Inc. (Nasdaq:CSRE) Board of Directors elected Larry Kerber as vice president of planning and product marketing, Michael Khoury as vice president and chief legal counsel, Kevin McGrath vice president of human resources, and Rick Stefka as vice president of information systems. The announcement of these elections was made by Comshare President and CEO Dennis G. Ganster.

"The contributions of these four people have been and continue to be extremely valuable to the company," said Ganster. "These promotions recognize both individual achievements and the greater importance that their roles will play in fulfilling the company's strategic plan and being part of the on-going success of Comshare."

Larry Kerber, vice president of planning and product marketing, reports to Comshare Senior Vice President of Marketing Norm Neuman. Kerber joined Comshare in 1977, and over the past 22 years he has proven his abilities to be an effective strategic thinker, corporate planner, and product/marketing manager. "Larry is an extremely talented individual who understands the nuances of marketing and product management, particularly as applied to the management planning and control software marketplace," said Ganster. "Larry and his team will shape the Company's product direction in the years to come."

Michael Khoury, vice president and chief legal counsel, reports to Comshare Senior Vice President and CFO Kathy Jehle. Khoury is well recognized as an expert in computer law contracting. He joined Comshare in July 1998 as General Counsel, and has a broad base of knowledge of business, computer, and information-technology law. Prior to accepting the General Counsel responsibilities at Comshare, Khoury served as partner with Clark Hill P.L.C., Detroit, Michigan. "Michael has proven his leadership abilities, particularly in his dealings with the field operations," Ganster said. "He has built an effective legal department that has done a great job supporting the field and supporting the organization as a real business partner."

Kevin McGrath, vice president of human resources, reports directly to Ganster. McGrath joined Comshare as manager of human resources for North America in September 1991. Prior to joining Comshare, McGrath had 20 years of experience in the field of human resources. He implemented and manages Comshare's college recruiting program, which has been a critical source of excellent talent over the last several years. McGrath successfully designed and implemented the Comshare Leadership Academy, which provides ongoing training and reinforcement for all of the company's managers and potential managers. "Kevin is an excellent recruiter and is a key reason why the company has been able to rebuild its human resources despite a very tight labor market," Ganster said.

Rick Stefka, vice president of information systems also reports to Comshare Senior Vice President and CFO Kathy Jehle. Stefka took responsibility for the company's information systems department in September 1997, following several years with Comshare in the field and in product development. Stefka has made significant changes to the IT, MIS, and telecommunication functions that have significantly improved performance by introducing new technologies, implementing standards, and renegotiating contracts. His team has successfully replaced most of Comshare's financial and customer support systems, lowering costs to operate and maintain systems, and providing enhanced management planning and control capabilities. "Rick's strong financial background and years of banking experience has brought a great business sense in applying technology where it matters most to the future of our business," Ganster said.
