Press Release Body = Dubai, United Arab Emirates, February 5, 2007: Hyperion (Nasdaq
Global Select: HYSL), the global leader in Business Performance Management (BPM)
software, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has placed Hyperion in the leaders
quadrant in its "Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, 1Q07"

The recently released report evaluates 15 vendors. Gartner weighed Hyperion's
completeness of vision and its ability to execute in determining its position in the
Magic Quadrant, which uses multiple criteria to characterize companies in the
leaders, challengers, visionaries and niche players quadrants.

"We think Hyperion's inclusion in the leaders quadrant for Business Intelligence
platform vendors is an achievement that reflects the growing reach of Hyperion
System 9 BI+ worldwide," said Godfrey Sullivan, president and CEO of Hyperion. "We
recently delivered the second major release of Hyperion System 9 BI+, the first BI
platform to integrate operations with finance. This platform brings to enterprises a
broad range of BI innovations, including a master data management solution,
significant enhancements to our Hyperion System 9 BI+ Essbase Analytics software,
integration with Google OneBox, and a Hyperion System 9 Smart Space offering that
will utilize gadgets to expand the use of BI. With these strategic BI advantages,
Hyperion is providing the management system for today's enterprise."
