HYPERION REVEALS HOW BUSINESS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT INCREASES CORPORATE PROFITABILITY AT THE
SILICON VALLEY WORLD INTERNET CENTER

PALO ALTO, CA, October 1, 2002 - Hyperion Chief Technology Officer John Kopcke will describe how Hyperion's (http://www.hyperion.com) new generation of Web-enabled business performance management software helps executives and business managers measure performance and drive profitability this Thursday evening at the (http://www.worldinternetcenter.com) Pub from 5:00 to 7:00 in Palo Alto.

"Recent innovations allow the extended enterprise to see which divisions, regions, products or processes are most profitable and why," said Kopcke. "This allows managers to better plan for profitability."

Hyperion's products are designed to help companies increase visibility, agility and the ability to measure accountability across the enterprise; achieve greater alignment among business units; and make information accessible and actionable across the enterprise.

"We are delighted to welcome Hyperion to the World Internet Center," said Center CEO Susan Duggan. "The overarching theme of many of our Working Group and Think Tank Sessions has been how to make sense of the plethora of data enterprises have to process these days. Hyperion is a leader in turning that data into better business decisions, and we are excited to have them in the house."

Kopcke is primarily responsible for technology strategy for Hyperion, where he focuses on the company's internal technology architecture, technology development services, product quality assurance and leverages Hyperion's architecture with key partners.

The Pub is a weekly networking program of the Center, which focuses on the advancement of Internet-related eMarkets, technologies, people, and ideas through the collaborative exchange of knowledge. The Center is located in the heart of Silicon Valley and works to develop programs specific to the expanding Internet Economy. As a multi-corporate, third-party venue, the Center provides a physical and virtual forum for collaboration among technology leaders and key end-users. The Center, a for-profit, fee-for-service corporation, focuses primarily on the areas of eBusiness, eServices and wireless communication.
