VIP RECEIVES HYPERION EDUCATION AUTHORIZATION
First Training Partner in US Authorized to Teach MDM Courseware 

Denver , CO – September 18, 2006 – Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP), announced today they have been certified as a Hyperion Authorized Education Partner (HAEP). This means VIP will have the ability to teach the “Hyperion System 9 Master Data Management (MDM) Administration” course in its public training facility, Core College , located in Denver , Colorado . In fact, VIP is the first HAEP in the United States authorized to teach the MDM class.

“We are very pleased to be able to add this class to our already robust Core College curriculum,” said Patty Nelson, vice president of Sales and Marketing, VIP. “As a Hyperion Systems Integrator, this is a strategic move forward for us and allows us to service our Hyperion clients even better than before.”

System 9 Master Data Management is one of Hyperion's newest products. MDM software helps IT managers solve the costly, labor intensive problem of updating business performance management (BPM) master data, usually initiated through phone calls and e-mails from business users. Master data is data that is shared across a company's systems and is often used to classify transactional data.

“We're pleased to offer Hyperion customers the expertise of VIP's instructors, who bring into the classroom valuable field experience,” said Jayne Marlow , Director, Education Services Marketing, Hyperion. “VIP's instructors' track record helping customers succeed with Hyperion products, plus its first-rate classroom environment, make Denver a location of choice to take a Hyperion class.”

In addition to the MDM class, VIP will also have the ability to teach other classes in an on-site setting at customer locations. These include “Hyperion Intelligence Tools: Design Reports and Dashboards” and “Hyperion Intelligence Tools: Design Advanced Reports and Dashboards”.
