QAD Inc. (NASDAQ:QADI), a leading provider of enterprise
software and services for global manufacturers, today announced a
new program to provide the newest QAD .NET user interface (QAD .NET
UI) to qualified customers globally. QAD prides itself on the
feature-rich QAD .NET UI, the latest and best-engineered user
interface for its QAD Enterprise Applications, and wants customers

“We are so excited about .NET UI and its capabilities to enhance
our customers’ access to QAD’s business application solutions, that
we want to make it easy for everyone to deploy,” said Pamela
Lopker, president and founder of QAD. “We’ve put together a
specialized team to help our customers install, get trained on, and
start using the .NET user interface immediately, allowing them to
reap the benefits today.”
The QAD .NET UI is a fresh, intuitive, easy-to-use user
interface built on Microsoft’s .NET technology. QAD .NET UI
delivers a superior user experience and reduced training time by
leveraging familiar metaphors, search, and favorites. Customers
using QAD .NET UI gain greater access to information including
pivot-table like functionality, integration with Microsoft Excel,
enhanced compliance through the use of process maps to guide
infrequent tasks and operational metrics to identify anomalies.
“We are driving continual enhancements to the .NET user
interface,” said Bill Keese, senior vice president of Research and
Development for QAD. “We want our customers to truly have a world
class experience when using QAD’s software by having easy-to-use
software, and comprehensive data access, right at their
fingertips.”

software versions, receive a defined package of software, services,

program. In as little as 1-3 weeks, and at no additional cost,
customers can enjoy the benefits of QAD .NET UI. The program

Note to Investors: This press release contains certain
forward-looking statements made under the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number
of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These
risks include, but are not limited to, evolving demand for the
company's software products and products that operate with the
company's products; the company's ability to sustain license and
service demand; the company's ability to leverage changes in
technology; the company's ability to sustain customer renewal rates
at current levels; the publication of opinions by industry and
financial analysts about the company, its products and technology;
the reliability of estimates of transaction and integration costs
and benefits; the entry of new competitors or new offerings by
existing competitors and the associated announcement of new
products and technological advances by them; delays in localizing
the company's products for new or existing markets; the ability to
recruit and retain key personnel; delays in sales as a result of
lengthy sales cycles; changes in operating expenses, pricing,
timing of new product releases, the method of product distribution
or product mix; timely and effective integration of newly acquired
businesses; general economic conditions; exchange rate
fluctuations; and, the global political environment. In addition,
revenue and earnings in the enterprise resource planning (ERP)
software industry are subject to fluctuations. Software license
revenue, in particular, is subject to variability with a
significant proportion of revenue earned in the last month of each
quarter. Given the high margins associated with license revenue,
modest fluctuations can have a substantial impact on net income.
Investors should not use any one quarter's results as a benchmark
for future performance. For a more detailed description of the risk
factors associated with the company and the industries in which it
operates, please refer to the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for fiscal 2010 ended January 31, 2010.
