FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Omnis Studio wins more acclaim

Omnis Studio, the rapid application development program from Omnis
Technology Corporation (NASDAQ BB: “OMNS”), has won more praise as a
finalist in the ‘Best Enterprise Software’ awards at Comdex in Sydney,
Australia this week. Coming hot on the heels of being voted a finalist
in the category of ‘Development environment/tools’ at LinuxWorld Expo in
California, it is clear that Omnis is setting the pace for development
tools generally, and for the Linux environment in particular.

The software was demonstrated by The DLA Group, the Omnis software
distributor for South East Asia, including Australia and New Zealand.
Richard McTigue, DLA’s Business Development Manager said,
“Internetworking specialists were highly impressed with Studio’s ability
to deploy on Linux, Macintosh and Windows across an enterprise network.
The Web Client front end option also generated significant interest and
Studio’s finalist award in the prestigious ‘Best Enterprise Software’
category was warmly applauded by the substantial number of visitors to
the DLA/Omnis stand.”
