Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute Cited as Criteria for Evaluation

SANTA CLARA, Calif., December 6, 2006 – 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 CPM Suites, 2006"1

The recently released report lists Hyperion among a field of 16
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.

"Hyperion’s strong brand awareness with CFOs and other senior
executives means it is present in virtually every CPM suite
evaluation," said Godfrey Sullivan, chairman and CEO of Hyperion. "Now
more than ever, Hyperion is devoted to being the management system for
today’s enterprise. As we build on the success of Hyperion System 9
with new applications and capabilities, we will work hard to earn that
market position again and again."
