PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Captiva Software’s Reynolds C. Bish Joins I-many’s
Board of Directors
EDISON, N.J. February 27, 2006— I-many, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMNY), the leading provider of Enterprise Contract Management (ECM) solutions for managing corporate commitments, today announced Reynolds C. Bish has joined I-many’s board of directors.
“Reynolds brings a wealth of directly related expertise to I-many,” said John A. Rade, chairman and interim president & CEO of I-many, “and he has a history of successfully building companies and realizing shareholder value. As we focus on building I-many, both organically and potentially through strategic acquisitions, we expect Reynolds to provide valuable insight and guidance.”
Added Bish, “I feel fortunate to join I-many’s board at a pivotal time in its growth and development. As I-many begins to roll out new and updated applications based on its new ECMF platform, I see this as a watershed for opening new markets, as well as broadening existing markets where I-many is already the dominant player. I-many is now positioned as the only provider able to meet the growing demand for a comprehensive and integrated solution for managing the increasingly complex enterprise contract lifecycle.”
Bish has been active in enterprise software markets for more than 20 years. In 1989, he co-founded Captiva Software Corporation (www.captivasoftware.com), a NASDAQ listed company that is the leading provider of input management solutions, and served as its president, CEO, and a director until its acquisition by EMC Corporation in December 2005. He now continues in that position as its president and general manager, as well as vice president of EMC’s Enterprise Software Group. NYSE-traded EMC is the world leader in products, services and solutions for information management and storage. (www.emc.com)

Prior to Unibase, Mr. Bish was a co-founder, vice president of finance and CFO of Covalent Systems Corporation, a venture capital funded company that was a leading provider of data collection and production management systems for commercial and in-plant print shops. He previously spent six years as vice president of finance and CFO of Fafco, Inc., a NASDAQ listed company that is the leading provider of solar heat exchangers, and three years with Price Waterhouse as a CPA.
