CEO Software Form Strategic Alliance

.

Portsmouth, NH., August 2, 2004 -- MeetingMatrix� International, Inc., of Portsmouth, NH, and CEO Software, Inc.® of Tucson, AZ announced that a new distributor agreement has been forged which will allow CEO immediate distribution rights of MeetingMatrix�s full line of products and service to its current and future customers.  

CEO Software, now under new ownership, has opted to partner with the industry�s most advanced and leading edge room diagramming solutions company in the world, MeetingMatrix International.  For almost two decades CEO Software has been a preferred and recognized leader in the sale of sales and catering solutions to the hospitality industry.  With a strong customer base of thousands, including the university and healthcare segments, CEO Software will play a major role in the continued penetration of MeetingMatrix products and services into these marketplaces. 

MeetingMatrix International was approached by CEO Software�s new owner Paul Thomas, to inquire about a future alliance and to relay information of the recent changes at CEO Software.   As a result of their market analysis, both companies agreed to create a strategic alliance which allows for CEO Software to exclusively distribute the MeetingMatrix suite of products and services.  CEO customers will now be able to purchase MeetingMatrix products and services, direct, to streamline communications and book more business via this new sales channel.   A robust XML interface between MeetingMatrix solutions and CEO Software�s Scheduler Plus software has been created to allow for seamless data interaction between both systems. 

�Paul Thomas has been a great boost to CEO Software and has put together a terrific team to start advocating MeetingMatrix and its worldwide recognized standards�, said J Michael Keller, President and CEO of MeetingMatrix International, Inc.  �CEO Software�s extensive penetration into both the University and Healthcare markets was a large determinate in MeetingMatrix�s decision to partner with CEO Software.  MeetingMatrix has been the industry leader for 15 years in the sale of diagramming solutions to hotels and convention centers and see this as a tremendous opportunity to bring MeetingMatrix to our strong university and college customer base.�

�We are pleased to have a partnership with MeetingMatrix International and welcome this opportunity to add value to the successful Scheduler Plus product line,� said CEO Software Chairman and CEO, Paul Thomas. �MeetingMatrix room diagramming solutions offer our clients powerful marketing tools to promote their meeting space as well as clear and accurate diagrams for room set-ups.�
