Press Release Body: Austhink Software is delighted to announce the release of
bCisiveT, its new product for making workplace decisions more easily.

Decision making is something business managers must do every day, and timely,
well-considered decisions are what drives enterprise productivity and success. But
in today's information-rich, time-poor business world, decision making can get
complicated, stressful and time consuming. \"bCisiveT addresses the problems often
encountered in traditional, informal decision-making processes,\" says Austhink CEO
Tim van Gelder. \"Creating decision maps with bCisiveT helps you organise options and
arguments, think more clearly about the problem and collaborate more effectively.
Ultimately, bCisiveT can help you save time and effort, be more confident about
decisions and improve \'buy in\' around them. By reducing decision-related stress, it
might even help you live longer!\"

Austhink, which secured second-round funding of AU$4.1m last November, already has
an international customer base for its critical-thinking development software
RationaleT. Gary Mink, Austhink\'s Head of Sales and Marketing, is excited about the
addition of bCisiveT to Austhink\'s product lineup, saying that bCisiveT is a first
for the business community. \"It\'s a simple, elegant solution that fills a real gap
in the market,\" he says. \"It\'s the only software tool specifically designed to use
business decision mapping techniques to help make decisions simpler. A bCisiveT map
also forms a concrete record of the reasoning behind a decision, making it easier to
make your case to management, and improving accountability.\"

Early feedback on bCisiveT has been very positive. Edward Keelan of KorteQ Ltd hails
it as \"a great tool that helps to show quickly and intuitively the decision making
process\". Bijingo CEO Craig Pope says \"I thought it was the simplest interface to
software I have ever seen.\"

bCisiveT is available to download as a free 30-day trial or to purchase from
www.bCisive.com. The website also features a tour of bCisiveT\'s highlights, and
other resources about bCisiveT and decision mapping.
