April 4, 2002    For Immediate Release

Atlanta, GA -- Optima Technologies, Inc. (www.optima-tech.com) announced a successful first quarter, in contrast to numerous competitors in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) market.

Optima expanded their client base to include additional healthcare organizations and financial advisory professionals, as well as growing business with existing, long-time clients in multiple markets.

Optimas optimistic outlook has resulted in numerous plans to continue their pattern of growth. Optima will release a new corporate website by the end of April to better highlight their offerings and better address the needs of their clients, prospects and partners. Optimas new, entirely comprehensive financial advisory vertical CRM solution has begun rollout to beta users and will be formally released in time for the industry-leading Financial Planning Association conference in September.
