Elysium Launches Innovative Webcast Series for CAD Translation
Customers can see their CAD Files Translated in Real-Time


SOUTHFIELD, MI – November 12, 2002 — Elysium Inc., a global provider of CAD translation software, today announced a series of webcasts to demonstrate the power its CAD translation and healing products give to designers, engineers and manufacturers. The company has also launched its new Web site, designed to deliver more information, more clearly, to customers and resellers.

The new webcasts, titled ‘What is your time worth?’ are designed to give CAD users a greater understanding of how fast and straightforward 3D CAD data translation should be. The presentations will also give advice on determining the return on investment that can be gained with capable translation software. Attendees to each webcast will be given an opportunity to send in a troublesome file and can watch it translated in real-time during the webcast. Elysium will use its industry-leading CADporter™ and CADdoctor™ products to rapidly translate, heal and repair files from major MCAD systems including CATIA®, Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER®, Solidworks®, Unigraphics® (Parasolid®) and SAT®. The translated files will be returned to the customer once translation is complete.

Elysium’s new Web site, www.elysiuminc.com, features the webcast series from its homepage, along with an updated design and improved navigation. The new Web site also features expanded product download availability, ability to sign up for the company’s newsletter, and increased product information. Content and design was undertaken by Strategic Reach PR LLC and Alkemedia Productions LLC in Denver.

“Elysium has matured, Elysium’s clients have matured, and the old web site was not meeting our customers’ needs any more,” stated Ken Tashiro, COO and vice president, Elysium Inc. “The site has now been totally reworked to create a more pleasurable experience for customers, make it easier for them to locate required information, and is tuned to grow as the company grows. We are very happy with the way we are positioned through this medium.”

Moving forward, Elysium is boosting its activities with clients and potential clients, and will be exhibiting at Autodesk University in December and Solidworks World 2003 in January. Elysium will be making a series of announcements regarding product enhancements and new translation technologies in the coming months.
