Altum To Unveil Performance Management Modules at the Eighth Annual Government Performance Summit - April 3-5, 2006

Reston, VA. March 10, 2006 - At the Eighth Annual Government Performance Summit, Altum will unveil four new modules to its information enhancement suite and post-award grants management suite:

Budget Module
The Budget Module provides organizations a way to gather budget numbers via the web or integrated spreadsheets rather than by assembling and consolidating individual spreadsheets. Doing so speeds the collection process and eliminates the need to re-key data and fix broken spreadsheet links, activities that often result in errors and version-control issues

Plan Module
The Plan Module allows organizations to model the financial and operational impact of changes in staff, resources, equipment, and projects in minutes. Plan results can help drive resource allocation during the budgeting process, and can be used for comparisons against budgets, actuals, and forecasts during the year.

Report Module
The Report Module allows organizations to automatically generate and distribute reports and books of reports based on defined schedule and delivery criteria. You control not only which people receive which reports, but also who sees what data within those reports.

Strategy Module
The Strategy Module enables organizations to visibly link their objectives to operational budgets, people and departments, daily activities, and financial and non-financial performance measures.

Come visit our booth. The Eighth Annual Government Performance Summit will be head from April 3-5, 2006 at the City Center Hotel in Washington, DC. It features over thirty-five sessions and nine innovative tracks, the 2006 Government Performance Summit is the most comprehensive management and measurement event of the year!

About Altum, Inc.

Every day, Altum helps organizations monitor, measure, analyze, and improve their business by giving them control over their data. We are a professional software development and consulting firm that builds solutions with an understanding that the true benefits our clients reap come from being able to quickly access, analyze, and make informed decisions from the data locked up in corporate data stores. Too often, enterprise systems are developed to merely process transactions and get information into corporate databases. Most do not allow users to easily get the information they need out. Altum solves this problem by developing systems with query and reporting capabilities in mind. Our customers are delighted by cost-effective, high quality software solutions delivered on-time, on-budget, and with unparalleled customer service. Altum's commitment to integrity is the reason 90% of our revenue is repeat business.
