FOR $10.26 PER SHARE IN CASH

Infor Strengthens Suite of Integrated Solutions with Best-Of-Breed Asset Management

GREENVILLE, S.C. and ATLANTA, Ga., USA, Jan. 5, 2006 — Datastream Systems, Inc. and Infor, leading providers of enterprise software solutions, announced today the signing of a definitive agreement for Infor to acquire Datastream. Under the terms of the agreement, Infor has agreed to pay $10.26 per share in cash to Datastream stockholders. The plan has received unanimous approval from the Datastream Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of the Infor subsidiary which is a party to the acquisition agreement. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including Datastream stockholder approval. Infor has commitment letters for equity and senior debt financing necessary to fund the purchase price of the acquisition. The parties will work to close this transaction as soon as reasonably possible but it is expected to be completed in the second calendar quarter of 2006.

Larry Blackwell, Datastream’s chief executive officer, remarked, “Datastream’s Asset Performance Management strategy delivers value to customers by connecting critical maintenance and asset information with operational data to improve organizational performance.”

Blackwell added, “By joining with Infor, our employees will have the opportunity to work with one of the leading software providers focused on world-class enterprise applications. Our customers will benefit from a combined entity that will continue to support and improve Datastream’s industry-leading products. After a thorough review, Datastream’s Board of Directors has concluded that this transaction maximizes value for our stockholders.”

Infor delivers integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain solutions designed for manufacturers and distributors. Given the asset-intensive nature of Infor’s customer base and target markets, Datastream’s industry-leading Asset Performance Management solutions will address a key business need common among Infor’s customers and target markets. The combined company will have 24,700 customers in 140 countries.

“Infor is changing what customers expect from an enterprise software provider by assembling and integrating best-of-breed solutions and professionals with deep industry knowledge that is unrivaled in the industry,” said Jim Schaper, Infor’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We are filling a void in the market for customers that want one source for all of their industry-specific enterprise applications. Our explosive new customer growth is proof that our model is working.”

Schaper continued, “Both Datastream and Infor are committed to future innovation using a services oriented architecture (SOA) that will enable those customers with asset-intensive maintenance requirements the ability to combine maintenance and asset information with production and operations data to uncover new performance management capabilities affordably from one vendor. This development architecture will also enable customers to benefit from easier upgrades and future product integration.”

Datastream has more than 6,700 customers on support and a dedicated employee base that will expand Infor’s expertise in the manufacturing and distribution sectors, as well as other asset-intensive industries. Datastream’s technological leadership in developing Web-architected solutions will complement Infor’s own commitment to assembling cost-effective solutions tailored
