("Avisen" or the "Company") 
 
 
Avisen named exclusive distributor 
of Acorn System's Performance Analyzer(TM) in UK & South Africa 
 
 
 
 
Avisen, the AIM quoted technology consultancy specialising in performance 
management, announces that it has been named the exclusive distributor of Acorn 
Systems' profitability and cost management software in the United Kingdom and 
South Africa. 
 
 
Acorn Systems provide software and consulting services which deliver accurate 
and validated insight into the true cost and net profitability of any business 
dimension, a critical foundation to the success of all corporate performance 
management initiatives. 
 
 
Avisen and Acorn have successfully teamed via client engagements in the UK, 
including the recent new contract with Tesco in the UK and also via Harvey Jones 
in South Africa, a legacy Acorn partner acquired earlier this year by Avisen as 
the cornerstone of their South African operations. Building on this experience, 
both companies are committed to the success of their clients and excited that 
the partnership will allow even greater coordination, support and success of 
shared clients. 
 
 
Avisen will serve as Acorn's distributor in the named geographies, which 
includes direct relationships with clients and a teaming arrangement with other 
leading consulting and advisory firms to bring Acorn's solution to their diverse 
client base. 
 
 
Marcus Hanke, CEO of Avisen said: "Our goal at Avisen is to equip every client 
with the ability to realise a distinct level of clarity within their business. 
An insight into profitability and cost management is an essential part of 
achieving this objective and Acorn's world class Performance Analyzer(TM) 
software, combined with Avisen's advisory services, will enable our clients to 
successfully manage business performance through accurate cost and profitability 
analysis". 
 
 
"Avisen has the depth and breadth of experience in a variety of industries and 
the performance management space, both of which are critical to enabling 
companies to identify sustainable ways to grow revenue profitably, reduce costs 
and operate more competitively," said Chris D. Fraga, President, Acorn Systems 
International. "Together, Avisen and Acorn provide unmatched value and 
experience in helping companies define and execute a cost effective and 
profitable strategy, helping them enhance their operational and financial 
results."
