Hyperion Establishes Center of Excellence for SAP(R) Solutions; Closer Collaboration Between Hyperion and SAP Will Allow Customers to Gain Greater Insight From Critical Business Information.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Hyperion (NASDAQ:HYSL), the global leader in Business Performance Management software, today announced it has established a Center of Excellence for SAP(R) solutions, located at the PartnerPort of SAP's AG's global headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. Hyperion's new office provides dedicated resources that will work closely with SAP to deliver highly integrated solutions. This will help joint customers extend the value of Business Performance Management and BI across the enterprise while maximizing scalability and performance.

Through its integration with SAP software, Hyperion provides customers with the industry's most comprehensive and easy-to-use reporting and analysis solutions. Hyperion's new Center of Excellence will be used as a product showcase for joint customers and a test center for Hyperion's software integrating with SAP solutions. It will enable greater cooperation not only with SAP but also with partners, such as Deloitte Consulting LLP, HP, and Unisys, all of whom have an established presence in SAP's PartnerPort.

"By being present at SAP headquarters, we will be able to establish an ongoing dialogue with SAP without the barriers of time zones and distance," said John Kopcke, CTO for Hyperion. "This is an important step in our continuing relationship with SAP. It will allow us to communicate more effectively with our key partners, provide better support to joint customers and accelerate our product integration with SAP solutions to extend the value of customers' SAP implementations."

Recently, Hyperion has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver(TM)" certification for Hyperion Analyzer 7.2 and "Certified for SAP NetWeaver(TM)" status for Hyperion SQR 8.3. The opening of Hyperion's Center of Excellence for SAP solutions is another milestone in Hyperion's continued commitment to tightly integrate its Business Performance Management offering with SAP's software. Hyperion's Center of Excellence is located within SAP's PartnerPort, a facility that is dedicated to SAP partners and is used as a central hub for collaboration between SAP, its partners and customers.
