Tagetik 3.0 to Simplify Statutory and Management Reporting Processes

PRETORIA, South Africa, February 15, 2011 - Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for
Performance Management, Governance, Risk & Compliance and Business
Intelligence, today announced that NMI Group (nmigroup.co.za/), the
Southern African supplier of staple food and animal feed, has selected
Tagetik 3.0 to simplify statutory and management reporting processes and
provide timely and accurate management information.

"Our consumer needs, environmental conditions and economic situation are
constantly changing and we need reliable, timely and insightful information
to manage our business efficiently and help us keep pace with these changes.
Our existing management information system does not cater adequately for
these needs. Following a thorough evaluation of suppliers, we selected
Tagetik 3.0 to ensure that we are able to meet all of our statutory and
management reporting requirements," comments Andre Vermeulen, CFO at NMI
Group.

Tagetik 3.0 will ensure that NMI is able to reduce the time it takes to
compile annual and quarterly consolidated reports substantially and will
enable the company to start producing interim reports - something it doesn't
currently manage efficiently due to the complexity around the reporting
processes. Tagetik will also ensure that NMI Group is able to deal
efficiently with complex multi-currency requirements and regional
interpretations of accounting standards.

Ernest Pachonick, Finance Manager at NMI explains, "It's currently time
consuming to collect and process data for NMI Group requirements, so we're
excited by the prospect of enabling the regions to manage and run their own
reporting, and the ability for the Group to produce consolidated reports
based on one set of standardised reporting.

"This is an exciting new customer for us," adds Manuel Vellutini, Chief
Operating Officer (COO) at Tagetik. "And, of course, another example of our
ability to grow as a global player in the Corporate Performance Management
market. Our international network of qualified experts provides an unyielding
commitment to value and customer satisfaction and ensures that global
organisations are supported with timely, customized and, above all,
successful implementations."
