SoftVu Hires Cerner Senior Vice President as new CEO

Dynamic Executive Takes Reigns - 6/22/04

Leawood , KS ( June 16, 2004) SoftVu LLC is pleased to announce that Steve Garver has joined the SoftVu team as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective April 16, 2004. Steve comes to SoftVu after a 12-year career with Cerner Corporation, where as Sr. Vice President, he was instrumental in creating and growing Cerner Consulting from 300 to over 1,500 associates.

At SoftVu, Mr. Garver takes over CEO duties from Tim Donnelly, SoftVu Founder and President, who will now focus his efforts on new business development and strategic initiatives for the company.

"I am thrilled to be part of SoftVu's highly talented team. SoftVu's Rich Media capabilities coupled with the integrated Relay application architecture provides our clients a competitive advantage and a tangible ROI." Garver said.

"Today, there are many fragmented or niche solutions available in the marketplace. SoftVu provides a single platform that integrates a variety of solutions to processes that many businesses struggle with today, such as: generating effective leads; surveying customers and employees; producing, distributing, and tracking event promotions and attendee responses; and automating and helping close the sales loop."

According to Garver, "As the business world looks for new ways to automate and streamline business processes using new and innovative technologies, we are confident SoftVu is positioned to provide companies better ways to communicate to their target audiences. SoftVu's Relay platform exactly matches business sales and marketing communication needs, and with the added spark of rich media, sets SoftVu apart." Experts say that the market for rich media will grow from 3.7 billion in '02 to over 27 billion in 2005.

"We are thrilled to have someone of Steve's caliber on board to take SoftVu forward to the next level," Mr. Donnelly said. "Steve has already proven himself as an effective hands-on leader at SoftVu by taking ownership of SoftVu's integrated application architecture, shepherding a recent major product release (SoftVu's new Relay Survey module), and by taking responsibility for day-to-day operations."

Prior to joining Cerner, Mr. Garver spent 10 years with Accenture, a global management consulting and IT services company. Mr. Garver holds a BBA from the University of Texas.
