Dulles, VA - April 12, 2007 – Everest Software, Inc. (Everest), a leading provider of award-winning business management software for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced the general availability of Everest Advanced Version 4.0, which offers the industry’s broadest and most versatile array of user development and administration features to support growing retail, e-tail and wholesale distribution companies. The new offering is available immediately either directly from Everest or from its certified channel partners nationwide.

Everest Advanced 4.0 supports all the most critical business management functions, including financial, inventory, business and e-commerce operations, while providing many new, fully-integrated capabilities unavailable in most other competitive offerings. It enables customers to track and manage every aspect of their business -- from the storefront to the front and back-office -- with peak speed and accuracy, powered by a single, integrated Microsoft SQL Server database, according to Edwin Miller, president and CEO.

“We listen closely to our customers to fully understand their specific business challenges so we can better provide them with the tools and functionality most essential to their continued growth and success," said Miller. "The latest release of Everest Advanced is a significant step forward in the evolution of the product and, most importantly, in our ongoing business partnership with our customers.”

Everest Advanced 4.0 includes the following key enhancements:

• Search Engine Marketing enhancements in Everest E-Commerce that improve the chances of products being displayed in search engine results, thereby helping to increase web store traffic and generate more revenue.
• Streamlined Purchasing with new three-way matching and landed cost tools to track and optimize the entire purchasing process.
• Expanded Software Developer’s Kit – offers more power to develop solutions to meet complex business requirements using enhanced API and an all new “Add-in” platform.
• Improved Administration – reduced time and expense for security management, user interface settings and upgrades.

“The three-way matching capability included in the latest version is a welcome addition to the product,” said Steve Blyth, president of J. Racenstein Company, a window cleaning supplies manufacturer. ”This new feature matches all the pieces associated with an order, saving us 32-40 hours per month in reconciliations. In the past, our 50-plus vendor lines and 1250 products also made search engine optimization a tedious task. Its new enhancements now simplify the entire process by allowing us to define key words that will significantly increase traffic to our site. As a result, our monthly web sales are likely to improve by twenty percent, thanks to Everest.”
