Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. Announced

Renamed Firm Dedicated to Leading EIM Platform CATS


WESTPORT, Conn., Sept. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- John A. Laurino, CEO of the company formerly known as the Westport Software Group, Inc., announced today the official introduction of Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. (www.eimsoftware.com). According to Laurino, the Westport Software Group, Inc. has been renamed Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. in order to solidify the company's leadership role as a provider of Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM) software.

Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc.'s flagship product is the leading EIM platform Compensation Activity Tracking System (CATS(r)). Originally developed for a Fortune 500 company and now in its seventh generation, CATS(r) has represented the 'best practices' of incentive compensation software design and administration since 1994.

In addition to being "best in class" among EIM platforms, CATS(r) retains the 'Best Total Cost of Ownership' position among competitive EIM platforms. With its industry-unique perpetual 'unlimited' administrator and plan-participant licensing feature, CATS(r) is the 'value leader' in the competitive and growing EIM marketplace.

"The name change to Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. should be seen as demonstrating our total commitment to incentive compensation software," said Laurino. "This best aligns the company with the way in which the Westport Software Group has in recent years been identified by industry analysts as a leading EIM vendor."

The renaming of Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. also replicates the successful action taken by the Westport Software Group in 2005 when it spun off the new company Proposal Software, Inc., developers of the leading proposal management software PMAPS(r) (Proposal Management & Production System). Since that move PMAPS(r) has enjoyed phenomenal global growth.

About Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc.'s CATS(r), Laurino said, "Since its inception CATS(r) has been helping to transform incentive compensation into a strategic tool that aligns and motivates people, partners and channels across the extended enterprise. The family of CATS(r) EIM solutions enables companies to improve sales performance, align sales strategy with corporate business objectives, and drive revenue and profitability to improve overall business performance."

In 2006 the company began offering CATS(r) EIM On-Demand, a hosted offering which enables mid-to-large size organizations and enterprise business units to benefit from a world-class EIM solution on a subscription basis.

Said Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. chief technology officer Lee Apted, "Our primary design and engineering goal has always been to sweep the entire EIM world of an everyday incentive compensation administrator into one easy to use, non IT or vendor dependent platform. To that end, CATS(r) is the only EIM solution that provides a comprehensive and tightly integrated application that does not rely on additional third-party tools."
