ATA, INCORPORATED JOINS RATIONAL�S ROSE LINK PARTNERS PROGRAM

ATA Offers Their DocEXPRESS Suite for Web Publishing and System
Reporting on Rational Rose Project Data

Torrance CA., 04/04/1998 -- ATA Incorporated today announced that it has

joined Rational Software Corporation�s Rose Link Partners Program in
order to link its DocEXPRESS/Factory, DocEXPRESS/Web, and
DocEXPRESS/Word automated documentation tools with Rational Rose, the
industry-leading visual modeling tool. The Rational Rose Link Partners
Program is designed to enable independent software vendors (ISVs) and
third-party developers to integrate their products with Rational Rose
for a seamlessly integrated solution.
"ATA and Rational share a common vision for reporting on component-based

development data," said Cliff Sadler, vice president of sales and
marketing for ATA. "Users of Rational Rose share information with others

about their projects. DocEXPRESS is a suite of viewing and reporting
tools that enable developers to easily organize and present information
from Rational Rose 98 for �on the spot analysis�, or inclusion in Web
areas and published reports."

Presenting Rational Rose Data Over the �Net or in a Document

DocEXPRESS/Web runs in a Web browser, and DocEXPRESS/Word runs in
Microsoft Word. DocEXPRESS/Factory is an automated builder of documents
for MS Word, FrameMaker, and the Web. Rational Rose data is grouped
and/or scoped into "Derived Components�", which allows developers to
reduce the presentation complexity of the available project data, and
tailor the information for a specific audience. The information can be
inserted into pre-defined areas of engineering documents. All products
can automatically update the information from Rational Rose on demand
without affecting other parts of the document. DocEXPRESS/Factory can be

configured to update information at preset intervals.
DocEXPRESS/Factory, DocEXPRESS/Web and DocEXPRESS/Word for Rational Rose

are integrated with Rational Rose �98, running on Windows 95 and Windows

NT(Intel). Contact ATA for more information and a preview copy of
DocEXPRESS by visitng
