 Durlow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Industri-Matematik International Corp. stated, "We are very pleased with the results for the fourth quarter and for the year which reflect increased demand for our solution. We are seeing more companies recognize that building strong customer relationships is critical to remaining competitive. As a result, companies with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer.  solutions that address internal needs are shifting their focus to Advanced Order Management and Logistics Systems that meet external, customer-driven needs.

) sector. During the quarter we received orders from Nike, Starbucks and Paragon, a manufacturer of private label diapers. We also added Pioneer-Standard Electronics, a large U.S. wholesaler/distributor, and Fel-Pro, an automotive after- market manufacturer. To support our growth, we continue to invest in building our sales and marketing infrastructure as well as investing in product development. During the quarter, we began exploring opportunities in the Pacific Rim Pacific Rim, term used to describe the nations bordering the Pacific Ocean and the island countries situated in it. In the post–World War II era, the Pacific Rim has become an increasingly important and interconnected economic region.  and opened an office in Australia Australia (ôstrāl`yə), smallest continent, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. With the island state of Tasmania to the south, the continent makes up the Commonwealth of Australia, a federal parliamentary state (2005 est. pop. ." Mr. Durlow continued, "Our strategic alliance with Oracle Corporation and three other partners to market the CPG Solution Suite, a best-of-breed The best product of its type.

In addition, we have developed version 2.1 of the Solution Suite and are on track to deliver Version 2.2 in the coming months. We believe there is an increasing demand in the CPG marketplace for an economic solution that integrates best-of-breed components."

In conclusion, Mr. Durlow said, "We are also starting to see companies investigate the integration of their existing ERP solutions with IMI's System ESS (1) (Electronic Switching System) A large-scale computer from Lucent used to route telephone calls in a telephone company office. The 5ESS is a Class 5 central office switch, and the 4ESS is a Class 4 tandem office switch. . We expect to continue to devote significant development resources to meeting this need. Our customers also want a best-of-breed Advanced Order Management and Logistics System that incorporates functionality, flexibility and scalability How much a system can be expanded. See scalable.

 in order to remain competitive. We are addressing the need for functionality through our own development efforts, acquisitions or joint venture agreements. During the last quarter we acquired Ceratina, a Swedish software company, to enhance our advanced Warehouse Management capabilities and we initiated cooperative agreements with several partners including Frontec in Electronic Commerce, Metasys in Transportation Management and Calico in Configurator Software."
