Announcement posted by Mercator Software 11 Sep 2002

-Nathan Bray Promoted to Managing Director for Mercator Asia Pacific-
Mercator Software(tm), today announced the promotion of Nathan Bray to Managing Director for Asia Pacific.

The promotion comes as Mercator Software has seen 100 percent year on year growth in the APAC region for the last three years. As head of Mercator's Australian and New Zealand operations, Mr Bray was a key contributor to that success.

Mr Bray's responsibilities will include the development, implementation and ongoing management of Mercator's Asia Pacific operations through his team of direct, channel, marketing and professional services, located in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR and Tokyo.

After joining Mercator in February 2001, Mr Bray's local achievements include consecutive revenue growth and the acquisition of major Australian customers such as Zurich Financial Services, KPMG, Credit Suisse Asset Management, Colonial First State, and The Wesley Hospital. Global customer achievements include; Clearing and Payment Systems (CAPS), Sony, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), Exel, HSBC and First State Investments.

Mr Bray found that the present market conditions meant most CIOs were looking to integrate existing applications rather than import brand new technology.

"According to a recent CIO survey conducted by Optimize magazine, 225 IT executives contacted in January this year, revealed the top-three technology priorities in 2002 are application integration, security software and e-commerce initiatives."

Mr Bray will continue to work from Mercator Software's Sydney office.
