Press Release Summary = PTC/USER World Event Includes aPriori COGS Reduction

Press Release Body = PTC/USER, Inc. World Event Americas 2006 will be held at the
Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas on June 4-7, 2006. A
perennial favorite of World Event attendees, the PTC/USER Exhibit Hall features
aisle upon aisle of innovative solutions from leading technology companies in the
Pro/ENGINEER, Windchill and Arbortext marketplaces.

aPriori is the technology leader providing innovative cost management solutions to
the discrete manufacturing industry. This cost information leverages existing
information and data systems in a single cost platform, captures company specific
costing practices, and makes this information available across the enterprise and
accessible by any user in the organization. Located at booth 221 for the PTC/USER
World Event, aPriori's (www.apriori.com) Cost Management Software Platform will be
demonstrated. Manufacturers are better able to understand product cost decisions
early and throughout the product lifecycle. aPriori's Cost Management Platform
empowers manufacturers to lower cost-of-goods sold (COGS), provides real-time
visibility to "cost-critical" decision information, and builds critical cost
knowledge to go on the business "offensive." aPriori's patent-protected cost
management platform allows companies to assess, control, and reduce cost of goods
sold by whole percentages. The aPriori Platform truly enables "Cost Knowledge
Before it Matters."

This year\'s conference features nearly 58,000 square feet of ballroom space
dedicated to the exhibition, including the PTC Pavilion and a special section
exclusively for Arbortext partners. In the PTC Pavilion, attendees will be able to
talk directly with PTC staff to get answers to your questions and see software
demonstrations. The Exhibit Hall will be open during selected hours on Sunday
through Tuesday of the World Event.
