LEEDS, UK 18th October 2003 - Mike Prollins, a leading figure in the bespoke computer services industry, has joined Luminary Solutions - the fast growing specialist in systems integration, mobile solutions and Ingres. Prollins has joined from a management consultancy company.

Prior to 2002, he was a National Manager for CA Services, UK and Ireland, and was for seven years the Commercial Director of Apertus Systems Limited. Apertus was acquired by CA in 2000. In addition he was Chairman of the Ingres User Association for four years and President of the International Ingres Association.

Prollins will lead the commercial development and account management aspects of Luminary Solutions.

Neil Warnock, founding Director of Luminary commented "This is a positive development. As we continue to grow, we need people of Mike's calibre and reputation in the marketplace. Having worked with Mike for many years in Apertus I am convinced his contribution will be invaluable".

Prollins said "I am very excited to be joining Luminary at this early stage in its growth. The business model is right and will ensure that Luminary makes an increasingly significant contribution to both the bespoke systems integration and Ingres marketplaces."

Luminary is a systems integration company that combines existing corporate systems to produce new, integrated applications delivered to multiple display technologies - such as browsers, PDAs and mobile phones.

The template architecture developed by Luminary ties together different data sources and application sources and presents it to new back office and mobile interfaces. The architecture provides secure and efficient access to underlying databases and applications, whilst existing operational systems remain unchanged.

In addition, the company works with Computer Associates (CA), one of the largest software companies in the world, to provide services to the worldwide installed base of Ingres RDBMS and OpenROAD customers.
