Unit 4 Agresso is Changing its Name to UNIT4

READING, England, January 28 - Unit 4 Agresso NV, the global business software company, today announced
it is changing its brand name to UNIT4 and will be applying that name across
companies in the group worldwide from 1st February 2010.

Business Collaborator, a UK division of the group delivering
collaboration software to the construction industry, will become UNIT4
Collaboration Software Ltd.

This announcement follows a series of acquisitions in recent years that
has seen UNIT4 grow to become a top six mid-market ERP software player
globally and the 2nd largest European ERP supplier. The rebranding of the
group and its subsidiaries follows integration of recently acquired
businesses and the start of its next stage of growth.

The group will go to market under the proposition 'Embracing Change',
highlighting its focus and vision to set the global standard for business
software that helps dynamic organisations in both the commercial and public
sector adapt to internal and external driven changes simply, quickly and cost
effectively.

Sanjeev Shah, Managing Director for UNIT4 Collaboration Software Ltd,
said: "The rebrand is important for us strategically. It aligns us more
closely with our parent company as they embrace the benefits of our software
and services - both for use internally and for marketing to the UNIT4
customer base. The move reinforces our stability and credibility in a
marketplace that has been subject to considerable flux and change during the
recession. Our close affiliation with UNIT4, a robust and successful leader
in the software market, will prove invaluable as we build on our competitive
position.

"In an industry embracing change and new best practices, where
collaboration is viewed as the path to improved efficiency and quality, our
new brand positions us strongly to support the changing business needs of the
architecture, engineering and construction market quickly and effectively."

UNIT4 has an expanding number of products and brands around the world.
The rebrand will improve global awareness, eliminate confusion in the market
and provide a strong and clearly differentiated platform for continued
growth.

Sanjeev Shah said: "2010 will see us strengthen our position as a leading
provider of collaboration software as we build on our product and service
offerings. We will reach our goal through continual focus on our high levels
of customer service and key partnerships, further investment in our people,
products, solutions and services and through closer collaboration with our
colleagues across the wider UNIT4 group."

    Note to editors:

    - UNIT4 is the over-riding company brand and will be adopted across the
      UK operation.

    - UNIT4 is also the parent company to the Agresso and CODA business
      software products; some global operations that focus primarily on a
      single set of these products may refer to themselves as UNIT4 Agresso
      or UNIT4 CODA.

    - FinancialForce.com will not be adopting the UNIT4 branding since it is
      a jointly owned business with salesforce.com.
