MELBOURNE, Australia, November 19 - Australia's air navigation services provider, Airservices Australia, has
selected Quintiq as its new workforce planning solution.

Airservices has air traffic controllers working from two major centres in
Melbourne and Brisbane, four terminal control units and 26 towers at
international and regional airports. Airservices will use the Quintiq
solution for its operational air traffic management workforce. Fatigue
management, shift assignments, training and qualifications are all
requirements for Airservices to meet in creating their air traffic controller
rosters.

Airservices also provides Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
services at 21 of the nation's busiest airports. Following the roll-out to
air traffic control areas, ARFF will move from existing manual planning to
Quintiq intelligent rostering over time. Staff preferences, skills,
qualifications, requirements for training and meeting times, mandated safety
requirements, planned and unplanned leave, work agreement conditions,
equitable shifts and sector assignments will all be taken into account to
develop an optimal roster for these staff.

"We selected Quintiq because of the quality of their product which has a
good fit against our requirements," said Greg Russell, CEO of Airservices
Australia. "We are looking forward to this partnership with Quintiq to help
us achieve more efficient use of our resources."

"We are very pleased to have Airservices Australia join our growing
number of air traffic control clients. We look forward to making this a
successful project for them as we strive towards our goal of becoming the
number one rostering solution in the industry," Victor Allis, Quintiq CEO.

Quintiq will begin implementing the solution in November, with completion
of the phased roll out due in the first half of 2010.
