Wille Recognized as the Best Turnaround Executive in the U.S. at
            the 6th Annual American Business Stevie Awards
SACRAMENTO, Calif., & NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Unify Corp. (OTCBB:UFYC), a global provider of application
modernization solutions, today announced that Todd Wille, Unify's
president and chief executive officer, was named the Best Turnaround
Executive in America by the American Business Awards (ABA). The award
was presented on June 12, 2008 at the ABA's annual gala, which was
held in New York City. The American Business Awards, also known as
Stevie Awards, were created in 2002 to honor and generate public
recognition of the efforts and accomplishments of business people
throughout the world.

   Wille was been nominated for the award because of the vision,
drive and perseverance he demonstrated while returning Unify to
profitability in 2007. Unify narrowly avoided bankruptcy five years
ago when the company's former CEO was indicted for securities fraud
and insider trading.

   More than 2,600 entries in more than 40 categories were submitted
for consideration, including: Best Overall Company, Best Executive,
Best New Product or Service, Best Corporate Social Responsibility
Program, and new categories including Best Management Team and Best
Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program.

   "It is an honor to be recognized as the Best Turnaround Executive
by the ABA," said Wille. "I am proud of the progress we have made and
feel privileged to have proven business leaders acknowledge our
accomplishments with such an award. It is a testament to the hard work
of everyone in our organization who has dedicated themselves to
returning Unify to profitability."

   More than 600 executives from across the U.S. were in attendance.
The ceremonies were hosted by Cheryl Casone of Fox Business Network,
and broadcast live via the Business Talk Radio Network.
