PITTSBURGH, PA, December 1, 2009 -- Matrix Solutions,

Ms. Teele will be responsible for leading the efforts of the entire

organizations. In her eight years at Legent Corporation (now CA),
which was the eighth largest software company in the world at
that time, Ms. Teele held a variety of roles, including General
Manager of a $220 million software division consisting of 35 products
and 250 employees in 8 locations worldwide. At Legent, Ms. Teele

that is widely viewed as the market leader in media sales management
software,” states Ms. Teele. "I look forward to leading
the company towards additional success and growth, as well as
enhancing value to both our customers and stakeholders."
