NORCROSS, GA, October 5, 2001 -Exerve, Inc. offers RealWorld users up to 45% off and a reliable future.

The Competitive Upgrade Campaign for RealWorld software users offers current users of RealWorld a 45% discount on The Excellent Series, a feature rich, mature business application focusing on business financials, inventory management, warehouse management, service management, rental management, point of sale, executive information systems and fully integrated e-business.

With significant W2 and 1099 changes required for this year-end reporting period, many of the 20,000 RealWorld users are looking for software that offers a friendlier future - that software is The Excellence Series and Exerve.

"This campaign is well positioned and well timed. The Excellence Series and RealWorld have users with similar mindsets. They don't necessarily want to be tied to the whims of the executives at Microsoft and often they have requirements in their operation that necessitates utilizing UNIX, Linux or Solaris, which a Microsoft product will never offer." said Adam Breazeale, Vice President of Exerve, Inc. He went onto say, "Since RealWorld courted similar types of businesses with smaller budgets, we are guaranteed a good fit operationally and fiscally due to the 45% discount."
