Frisco, TX and Irving, TX - November 13, 2002 - Skywire Software, a software development and EAI products and services company, today announced it has formed a partnership with Aquire, Inc. to offer a special SAP application. Beginning now through January 31, 2003, customers purchasing Skywire Software's Object Manager will receive Aquire's OrgPublisher for Intranets™ free. As part of this special promotion, customers will be given a complimentary OrgPublisher license to chart up to 3,000 employees, as well as free maintenance for six months.

"Aquire's OrgPublisher has helped more than 1,700 companies automate the organizational charting process while maintaining accurate human resource information," said Lois Melbourne, co-founder and chief executive officer of Aquire, Inc. "Our goal in extending a combined offering of both Skywire Software's Object Manager and OrgPublisher is to provide customers with the critical business tools they need to maximize their resources and strategically plan for 2003 and beyond."

"IT and human resource departments provide crucial infrastructure to any organization," said Patrick Brandt, founder and chief executive officer of Skywire Software. "With today's economic climate constraints, companies are now asked to do more with less. Both Skywire Software and Aquire have unique products that allow both areas -IT and HR departments- to reap significant benefits and improve their manual business processes by automating the management of SAP transports and organizational charts."

About OrgPublisher and Object Manager
Viewable on a corporate intranet, Aquire's OrgPublisher uses existing human resource data to create full-color, interactive organizational charts, which management teams can easily analyze and plan for any type of organizational change.

Object Manager is a suite of landscape management tools that help SAP implementations save time, reduce costs and improve the overall quality of an organization's SAP system. Designed to automate the transport management process, Object Manager provides functionality for monitoring, tracking and improving change management within SAP. It is also the only product available on the market that provides the capability to "undo" a transport. This is an invaluable feature when an organization's SAP system needs to be running 24/7.
