CorVu Corporation (Nasdaq OTCBB:CRVU), a leading provider of Enterprise e-Business Performance Management, Business Intelligence and Balanced Scorecard solutions, announced today that Concentra Preferred Systems, the recognized leader in Healthcare Cost Containment services, will implement CorVu's CorManage. As a cost containment organization, Concentra is well aware of the need to monitor and manage corporate performance. Concentra will roll out CorManage throughout the entire organization. CorManage will arm Concentra's 350 employees in service groups such as Hospital Bill Audit, Line Item Analysis, Out-Patient Repricing, Professional Negotiation Services, operational and administrative departments with the ability to better manage their business units and link their tactical activities to strategy.

CorManage is being implemented in order to facilitate Concentra's corporate Balanced Scorecard. Concentra expects to reap many benefits from its performance management implementation, including reduced turn around time, improved client services, improved operational efficiencies and superior management of corporate goals.

"CorVu's CorManage offered a complete Enterprise Business Performance Management solution with full decision support capabilities that other solutions lacked. In addition, CorVu's DynaMart technology will afford us the ability to provide web-based inquiries to our clients without adversely impacting the performance of our production systems," explained Bill Esposito, senior business and systems analyst, at Concentra. "And, since CorManage is certified by the creators of the Balanced Scorecard, the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative, we had extra assurance that we were choosing the right solution. This implementation will be key in the growth initiatives that are projected for the next three years."

"We are very pleased that Concentra has chosen CorVu. We hope this will give them a competitive edge in an industry that consistently strives to improve services, while remaining efficient," commented Justin MacIntosh, CEO and president, CorVu Corporation.

CorManage: the Certified Balanced Scorecard Solution

CorManage combines robust business intelligence functionality with a comprehensive Balanced Scorecard. It includes Balanced Scorecard innovations, such as regression analysis of scorecard results to statistically validate models of organizational strategy. Once a valid strategy has been formulated, users perform 'what-if' analysis to identify how performance improvements in one area of the organization impact another area's performance. This knowledge empowers managers to more effectively allocate valuable time and resources to those activities that are most strategic - those that have the most impact on the desired outcome. Certified by the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative ( http://www.bscol.com ), users may be assured CorManage meets the highest standards in Balanced Scorecard automation.
