FREMONT, Calif. – September 12, 2005 – @Road®, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARDI), a global provider of Mobile Resource Management (MRM) and intelligent field service automation solutions, today announced the appointment of Ananth Siva as Vice President, Asia Pacific. The 19-year veteran of IBM will lead @Road expansion efforts in the Asia Pacific region and will be based out of @Road offices in Sydney, Australia.

"We are proud to have Ananth lead our efforts to develop the Asia Pacific market as part of our global growth strategy," said Krish Panu, @Road CEO.

Under Siva's leadership, numerous alliances were established with a number of leading Asia Pacific ISVs who serve as the cornerstone of IBM's application software portfolio. This drove regional IBM ISV revenues from about $100 million in 1998 to more than $1 billion in 2003.
