Artemis International Launches New Channel Program in the Americas

Initiative To Extend Company’s Market Reach and Give Customers Even Greater Access to Products and Services

BOULDER, CO — March 18, 2002 -- Artemis International Solutions Corporation (OTCBB: AISC.OB), one of the world’s leading providers of enterprise-based project and resource collaboration software solutions, today announced it has launched a new strategic channel initiative that will extend its reach in North, Central and South American markets.

The Artemis Channel Advantage Program will give customers greater access to the Company’s industry-leading products through an expanded family of reseller partners.

Michael J. Rusert, president and CEO of Artemis, stated, “Building our indirect channel furthers our commitment of providing enterprises with best-of-class project and resource collaboration solutions. Artemis is well recognized in the industry for being customer-focused, and we are looking for a very select group of resellers who are committed to protecting this reputation. By delivering on total customer satisfaction through greater product accessibility and enhanced services, this Program will drive growth for Artemis by extending its reach and achieving greater penetration into new and existing markets.”

Artemis is actively recruiting resellers to help deliver and implement its PortfolioDirector™ and ViewPoint™ solutions to mid- and large-sized organizations in specific geographies and vertical industries which its direct sales force currently does not cover. PortfolioDirector is a strategic portfolio management tool that helps executives align business initiatives with company goals, and ViewPoint is a comprehensive project and resource management solution that helps all project stakeholders across the extended enterprise plan, budget, track, and control their projects more effectively.

“We have put the right kind of incentives and guidelines in place so that our reseller channel and direct sales force work synergistically to optimize market coverage,” added Paul Cooley, executive vice president of U.S. Sales, Marketing, and Consulting, Artemis. “Minimizing channel conflict is paramount to the success of this initiative, and Artemis is committed to building a program that is beneficial for all channel members, which includes our direct sales force, our partners, and most importantly – our customers.”

Artemis has a successful track record of working with channel partners around the world, including those in Latin American, European and Asian Pacific regions. Artemis channel partner Jan Bakken, managing director of Metier Scandinavia, commented, “We have had a very positive experience working with Artemis as a channel partner, and their industry-leading products, services, and support have created a very successful business for us and have helped us develop a strong market position in Scandinavia. The partnership with Artemis has helped to grow our business by providing a significant value-add to our customers, and we look forward to building on this relationship through Artemis’ new solution offerings.”

Artemis will equip its channel members to maximize their opportunities through ongoing sales, marketing, training and support activities.
