FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Computervision Names William A. Wilson as
Chief Financial Officer
BEDFORD, MA., June 19, 1997 -- Computervision Corporation
(NYSE:CVN), the leading provider of Electronic Product
Definition(TM)(EPD(TM)) solutions, today announced that William
A. Wilson has been appointed senior vice president and chief
financial officer. Wilson will be responsible for the finance
and administration function at the company. Wilson comes from
Arch Communications Group, Inc., a $400 million wireless
messaging company, where he was executive vice president and
chief financial officer.
"Bill brings to this important position extensive experience in
all phases of financial management and strategy," said Kathleen
A. Cote, president and chief executive officer of Computervision.
"He has a strong understanding of rapidly growing businesses,
development and management of capital structures, as well as
extensive capital markets experience, all of which will be
exceedingly valuable as we build momentum as the leading
international supplier of integrated electronic product
definition solutions."
Wilson's experience in finance spans 25 years, with 14 years
spent in the chief financial officer role. "I am very excited by
Computervision's opportunities and challenges, and to be part of
the team which takes the company to the next level," said Wilson.
"The growth prospects for the company and its EPD products are
extremely compelling. A key element in my decision to join
Computervision was to participate in this growth through a stock
based incentive program."
Wilson earned an MBA from Babson College, an MSA from
Northeastern University and a BA from Luther College. He is a
CPA.
William A. Foniri, who has been chief financial officer for
Computervision, will serve as the chief financial officer for CV

held a number of key management positions.
