Approach Software Corporation Launches the Approach Partners Program for
Trainers and Consultants

Redwood City, Calif., February 22,1993--Approach Software Corporation today
announced the Approach Partners Program--the premier support program for
the growing ranks of Approach trainers and consultants.

"When our trainers and consultants are successful our customers are
successful. Therefore, we've developed a high impact partnership program,"
said Kevin Harvey, President of Approach Software Corporation. "Because we
see this as a benefit to Approach users, we're offering Partners Program
members an extensive package of support materials and services at the low
price of $99 per year."

"I've been a database consultant for years, but because Approach has taken
off so quickly my business has more than doubled in the past year," said
Bonnie Doyle, a database consultant. "With the Approach referral service,
I've landed some very big accounts. "

Trainers and consultants joining the Approach Partners Program will receive
the Approach Training Course for Business Users (sold separately to
non-members for $399), referrals through a listing in the Approach
Partners Directory, access to the exclusive Partners Program Bulletin
Board System (BBS), the TechNote database and discount pricing for
training labs. The TechNote database, used internally by Approach
Technical Support Analysts, contains hundreds of records which explain
concepts, solve problems, and walk through the steps to complete common
tasks. The cost to join is only $99 for a one year membership. Trainers or
consultants interested in finding out more about the Approach Partners
Program can call Approach Customer Service at (415) 306-0650.
