the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Germany.
     SM Benelux will be staffed by Rienk Bijlsma, Manager, Northern
European Operations, and Martin te Lintelo, Manager, Consulting
Services and Support, Northern Europe. Their primary mission will be
software product sales, training, and consulting and managing
resellers in Benelux and Germany. Mr. Bijlsma will handle all Systems
Modeling product and consulting sales and reseller channel development
in Northern Europe; Mr. te Lintelo will be responsible for all product

Systems Modeling's Arena(R), Arena Business Edition, Arena Call Center
Edition (formerly Call$im(R)), Arena Packaging Edition (formerly
HiSpeed$im(R)), and Tempo(R) software products. Arena is simulation
software for service, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, supply
chain, and other systems. Arena Business Edition helps business
analysts map and analyze processes in order to confidently chart the
right course of change. Arena Call Center Edition's computer
simulation models help call center analysts and managers make more
confident decisions on issues and problems common to their call
center. Arena Packaging Edition analyzes the large volumes, complex
control logic, and specialized equipment of automated processing
lines. Tempo production scheduling software allows schedulers to
better manage production and maximize on-time deliveries by taking
into account all the factors that reduce their resource's capacity.
