______________________________________  

PROXY STATEMENT 

July 24, 2000 

  Proxies in the form enclosed with this proxy statement, which were first
mailed to shareholders on or about July 24, 2000, are being solicited by the    
Board of Directors of Astea International Inc., a Delaware corporation  (the    
"Company"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August  
24, 2000, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the Company's headquarters at 455       
Business Center Drive, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, or at any adjournments      
thereof (the "Annual Meeting").                                                 

    Only stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2000 (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting  
and any adjournments thereof. As of that date, 14,818,340 shares of common      
stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company were issued
and outstanding. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share 
on any proposal presented at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may vote in person
or by proxy. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a stockholder's    
right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder giving a 
proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised, by (1)     
filing with the Secretary of the Company, before the taking of the vote at the  
Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the    
proxy, (2) duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and   
delivering it to the Secretary of the Company before the taking of the vote at  
the Annual Meeting or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person     
(although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute 
a revocation of a proxy).                                                       

The representation in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is    
necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Votes withheld
from any nominee, abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as present or  
represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for 
the Annual Meeting. A "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a     
beneficial owner has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner,
and either declines to exercise its discretionary voting authority or is barred 
from doing so because the proposal is nonroutine.                               

    In the election of Directors, the nominees receiving the highest number of
affirmative votes of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote at  
the Annual Meeting shall be elected as Directors. On all other matters being    
submitted to stockholders, an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares      
present or represented and voting on each such matter is required for approval. 
An automated system administered by the Company's transfer agent tabulates the  
votes. The vote on each matter submitted to stockholders is tabulated           
separately. Because abstentions with respect to any matter are included in the  
number of shares present or represented and entitled to vote for purposes of    
determining whether that matter has been approved by the stockholders ,         
abstentions have the same effect as votes against each proposal other than the  
election of directors.. Broker "non-votes" are not counted or deemed present or 
represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval on a matter
has been obtained.                                                              

    The persons named as attorneys in the proxies are officers of the Company.
All properly executed proxies returned in time to be counted at the Annual      
Meeting will be voted. In addition to the election of Directors, the            
stockholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to ratify the selection of  
auditors, as further described in this proxy statement. Where a choice has been 
specified on the proxy with respect to the foregoing matters, the shares        
represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the specifications and
will be voted FOR those proposals if no specification is indicated.             

The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other matters to be 
presented at the Annual Meeting other than as set forth in this proxy statement.
If any other matter should be presented at the Annual Meeting (or any           
adjournments thereof) upon which a vote properly may be taken, shares           
represented by all proxies received by the Board of Directors will be voted with
respect thereto in accordance with the judgment of the persons named as         
attorneys in the proxies, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

An Annual Report to Stockholders, also referred to as Form 10-K, (as  
amended, Form 10-K/A), containing financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999, is being mailed together with this proxy statement to all    
stockholders entitled to vote.

    In accordance with the Company's By-Laws, the Company's Board of Directors
is currently fixed at four (4) members. Zack B. Bergreen, Barry M. Goldsmith,

Goldsmith, Peters and Sobkowski are independent Directors. The terms of the     
current Directors will expire at the Annual Meeting. All Directors will hold

their earlier resignation or removal.                                           

The Board of Directors has nominated and recommended Zack B. Bergreen,
Barry M. Goldsmith, Adrian Peters and Isadore Sobkowski to be elected to hold   
office until the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors    
knows of no reason why the nominees should be unable or unwilling to serve, but 
if any nominee should for any reason be unable or unwilling to serve, the       
proxies will be voted for the election of such other person for the office of   
Director as the Board of Directors may recommend in the place of such nominee.  
Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by
them for the nominees named below.                                              

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE NOMINEES LISTED BELOW. 

 The following table sets forth the nominees to be elected at the Annual
Meeting and the year each such nominee was first elected a Director; the

its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors met twelve times in person or by 
telephone during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. During fiscal 1999,   
each of the Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of     
Directors and of all committees on which he served. The Board of Directors      
established an Audit Committee in May 1995. The Audit Committee of the Board of 
Directors, of which Messrs. Goldsmith and Sobkowski are currently members,      
reviews with the Company's independent auditors the scope and timing of their   
audit services and any other services they are asked to perform, the auditor's  
report on the Company's financial statements following completion of their audit
and the Company's policies and procedures with respect to internal accounting   
and financial controls. In addition, the Audit Committee makes recommendations  
to the Board of Directors for the appointment of independent auditors for the   
ensuing year. The Audit Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended        
December 31, 1999. The Board of Directors currently performs the functions of a 
compensation committee and has no nominating committee.

(1)  The exercise price per share of each option was fixed by the Board of      
   Directors; the fair market value per share of Common stock at the date of
grant was $2.62 per share.                                            
(2)  Amounts reported in these columns represent amounts that may be realized   
   upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their
   term assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation (5% and 10%)
 on the market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of option
   grant over the term of the options. These numbers are calculated based on
rules promulgated by the Commission and do not reflect the Company's  
estimate of future stock price growth. Actual gains, if any, on stock 
   option exercises and Common Stock holdings are dependent on the timing of
 such exercise and the future performance of the Company's Common Stock.
  There can be no assurance that the rates of appreciation assumed in this
     table can be achieved or that the amounts reflected will be received by the
individual.

   of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Options to purchase an
     additional 125,000 shares will vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of
     grant, or such earlier date that the Corporation reports net income for two
    consecutive fiscal years, with operating income as a percentage of revenue
not less than 10% in each such year. The remaining options to purchase
 125,000 shares will vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant,
   subject to earlier vesting as follows: (i) 62,500 shares will vest if the
  average closing market price per share of the Corporation's common stock
    during a fiscal quarter equals or exceeds $5; and (ii) all unvested option
   shares of these 125,000 will vest if the average closing market price per
   share of the Corporation's common stock during a fiscal quarter equals or
exceeds $8. Upon termination of his employment in May 2000, 437,500   
   options, representing the unvested portion of this grant, were cancelled.

Employment Agreements and Severance Arrangements with Executive Officers        

The Company has not entered into employment agreements with any of its

Board Report on Executive Compensation                                          

This report is submitted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") because the Company did not have a Compensation Committee in 1999.     
The Board is responsible for developing the compensation programs that relate to
the Company's executive officers, senior management and other key employees and 
for establishing the specific short- and long-term compensation elements        
thereunder. The Board also oversees the general compensation structure for all  
of the Company's employees. In addition, the Board currently administers the    
Company's 1991 Amended Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, 1994 Amended Stock      
Option Plan, 1995 Amended Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, 1997 Stock   
Option Plan, 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.      

    The principal objective of the Company's executive compensation program is
to enhance the Company's short-term and long-term financial results for the     
benefit of the Company's stockholders. To achieve this objective, the Company's 
executive compensation program is designed to provide levels of compensation    
that assist the Company in attracting, motivating and retaining qualified       
executive officers and aligning their financial interests with those of the     
Company's stockholders by providing a competitive compensation package based on 
corporate and individual performance. In addition, the Company performs periodic
reviews of its executive compensation program to confirm the competitiveness of 
its overall executive compensation package as compared with companies which     
compete with the Company for prospective employees possessing skills necessary  
for developing, manufacturing and marketing successful high technology products 
and associated services.                                                        

     Compensation under the Company's executive compensation program consists of
three principal elements: (i) cash compensation in the form of base salary, (ii)
annual incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses, and (iii) long-term  
incentive awards in the form of stock option grants. In addition, the           
compensation program is comprised of various benefits, including medical and    
insurance plans, the Company's 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and a 401(k)  
profit sharing plan with matching Company contributions, which are available to 
all employees of the Company.

DEF 14A 11th Page of 18 TOC 1st Previous Next Bottom Just 11th

Base Salary. Compensation levels for each of the Company's executive  
officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, are generally set within the   
range of salaries that the Board believes are paid to executive officers with   
comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at similar companies.
In setting compensation levels, the Board seeks to align total executive        
compensation levels with corporate performance. Accordingly, base salary levels 
are set at what the Board believes are at the low-end of base salaries paid to  
executive officers with comparable qualifications, experience and               
responsibilities at similar companies, while endeavoring to provide relatively  
higher incentive award opportunities. In addition, the Board generally takes    
into account such factors as (i) the Company's past financial performance and   
future expectations, (ii) business unit performance and future expectations,    
(iii) individual performance and experience and (iv) past salary levels. The    
Board does not assign relative weights or rankings to these factors, but instead
makes an informed, but ultimately subjective, determination based upon the      
consideration of all of these factors as well as the progress made with respect 
to the Company's long-term goals and strategies. Generally, salary decisions for
the Company's executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer are made
by the Board near the beginning of each calendar year based on recommendations  
of the Chief Executive Officer.                                                 

     Fiscal 1999 base salaries were determined after considering the base salary
level of the executive officers in prior years, and taking into account for each
executive officer the amount of base salary as a component of total             
compensation. Base salary, while reviewed annually, is only adjusted as deemed  
necessary by the Board in determining total compensation to each executive      
officer. Base salary levels for each of the Company's executive officers, other 
than the Chief Executive Officer, were also based strongly upon evaluations and 
recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors     
believes that fiscal 1999 base salary levels for each of the Named Executive    
Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table were slightly below the median 
salary levels for the comparable position with respect to each such executive   
officer at comparable companies.                                                

 Incentive Compensation. Each executive officer is eligible to receive a
cash bonus at the end of the fiscal year based upon the Company's performance   
according to predetermined standards and formulas. Additional bonuses may be    
awarded during the fiscal year to reward an executive officer for superior      
individual or business-unit performance. In 1999, because the Company was not   
profitable, no cash bonuses were awarded based on Company performance however,  
certain Named Executive Officers received bonuses for individual or business-   
unit performance. Mr. Sander, the Company's former Vice President of Sales and  
an executive officer received a bonus in the form of cash commissions of $35,100
based on the achievement of Company sales targets. Mr. LaMotta, the Company's   
former President and Chief Operating Officer also received a bonus of $15,000   
for achievement of certain personal objectives according to the terms of his    
employment offer letter. In addition, Mr. Phillips received $5,000 for his      
efforts in connection with the sale of the Company's Abalon AB subsidiary in    
1999.                                                                           

    Stock Options. Stock options are the principal vehicle used by the Company
for the payment of long-term compensation, to provide a stock-based incentive to
improve the Company's financial performance, and to assist in the recruitment,  
motivation and retention of key professional and managerial personnel. Long-term
incentive compensation in the form of stock options enables officers to share in
the appreciation of the value of the Company's Common Stock. The Board of       
Directors believes that such long-term stock option participation more closely  
aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of the stockholders by
encouraging executive officers to enhance the value of the Company. In addition,
the Board of Directors believes that equity ownership by executive officers     
helps to balance the short-term focus of annual incentive compensation with a   
longer-term view that may support the retention of key executive officers.      

    The Company's stock option plans have been administered by the Board since
January 1997. The Board periodically grants new options to provide continuing   
incentives for future performance. When establishing stock option grant levels, 
the Board considers existing levels of stock ownership, previous grants of stock
options, vesting schedules of outstanding options and the current price of the  
Company's Common Stock.                                                         

     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, options to purchase 500,000
shares of Common Stock were awarded to the Company's Chief Executive Officer at 
an exercise price per share slightly below the fair market value of the Common  
Stock. For additional information regarding the grant of options, see the table 
under the heading "Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year."                          

   Other Benefits. The Company also has various broad-based employee benefit
plans. Executive officers participate in these plans on the same terms as       
eligible, non-executive employees, subject to any legal limits on the           

-9-

amounts that may be contributed or paid to executive officers under these plans.
The Company offers an employee stock purchase plan, under which employees may   
purchase Common Stock at a discount, and a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which    
permits employees to invest in a variety of funds on a pre-tax basis and        
includes partially matching Company contributions. The Company also maintains   
insurance and other benefit plans for its employees.                            

     Compensation of Chief Executive Officer. In fiscal 1999, the Company's then
President and Chief Executive Officer, Zack B. Bergreen, received total salary  
of $300,000. Mr. Bergreen's base compensation, which has not increased since    
1994, was based on an assessment of salaries believed by the Board to be paid to
chief executive officers at comparable companies, as well as an assessment of   
Mr. Bergreen's qualifications, performance and expected contributions to the    
Company's future growth. Mr. Bergreen received no cash bonus or stock option    
awards during or with respect to fiscal 1999. In August 1999, Bruce R. Rusch    
succeeded Mr. Bergreen as President and Chief Executive Officer at the same     
salary level Mr. Bergreen had been receiving. The Board set Mr. Rusch's salary  
level based on an assessment of salaries believed by the Board to be paid to    
chief executive officers at comparable companies, an assessment of Mr. Rusch's  
qualifications, performance and expected contributions to the Company's future  
growth and the compensation previously paid to Mr. Bergreen.                    

 Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Code
limits the tax deduction to $1 million for compensation paid to any of the      
executive officers, unless certain requirements are met. The Board has          
considered these requirements and the related regulations. It is the present    
intention of the Board that, so long as it is consistent with its overall       
compensation objectives, substantially all executive compensation shall be      
deductible for federal income tax purposes.                                     

    Respectfully submitted by the following Members of the Board of Directors.

Zack B. Bergreen              
Barry M. Goldsmith

Board Interlocks and Insider Participation                                      

    No executive officer of the Company served as a member of the compensation
committee of another entity (or other committee of the Board of Directors       
performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the   
entire Board of Directors), one of whose executive officers served as a Director
of the Company. Other than Messrs. Bergreen, LaMotta and Rusch, no person who   
served as a member of the Board was, during the fiscal year ended December 31,  
1999, simultaneously an officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries. Messrs. Bergreen, LaMotta and Rusch did not participate in any
Company determination of their own personal compensation matters.               

Compensation of Directors                                                       

    Directors who are not employees of the Company receive a fee of $1,000 for
attendance at each regular and special meeting of the Board of Directors, and   
are also reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in     
attending meetings. Non-Employee Directors may elect to receive, in lieu of the 
foregoing cash compensation, unrestricted shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation are acquired at the fair    
market value of the Common Stock on the last day of the calendar quarter during 
which the cash compensation was earned and foregone. Non-employee Directors are 
also eligible to receive annual stock option grants under the Company's 1995    
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. Directors who are employees are not    
compensated for their service on the Board of Directors or any committee        
thereof.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH 

    The following graph compares the percentage change in the cumulative total
stockholder return on the Company's Common Stock during the period from the     
Company's initial public offering on July 27, 1995 through December 31, 1999,   
with the cumulative total return on (i) an SIC Index that includes all          
organizations in the Company's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code    
7372-Prepackaged Software and (ii) the Nasdaq Market Index. The comparison      
assumes that $100 was invested on July 27, 1995 in the Company's Common Stock at
the initial public offering price and in each of the foregoing indices, and     
assumes reinvestment of dividends, if any.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  

   On January 1, 2000, Mr. Bergreen entered into a consulting agreement with
the Company at an annual amount of $354,000, along with split dollar life       
insurance benefits and indemnification for tax liabilities relating to the time 
periods prior to August 1995 when the Company was taxed as an S corporation. The
consulting agreement was appended as an exhibit to the Form 10 K/A filed April  
28, 2000. Mr. Bergreen has since resumed the positions of President and Chief   
Executive Officer, as of June 2000. The Company is presently in negotiation with
Mr. Bergreen for the settlement of the consulting agreement and the execution of
a new employment agreement.                                                     

PROPOSAL 2  

RATIFICATION AND SELECTION OF AUDITORS  

The Board of Directors has selected the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP,  
independent certified public accountants, to serve as auditors for the fiscal   
year ending December 31, 2000. Arthur Andersen LLP has served as the Company's  
accountants since March 1995. It is expected that a member of Arthur Andersen   
LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a        
statement if so desired and will be available to respond to appropriate         
questions.                                                                      

 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THIS
SELECTION.                                                                      

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's Directors,   
executive officers and holders of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock   
(collectively, "Reporting Persons") to file with the Commission initial reports 
of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock of the Company.
Such persons are required by regulations of the Commission to furnish the       
Company with copies of all such filings. Based on its review of the copies of   
such filings received by it with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31,  
1999 and written representations from certain Reporting Persons, the Company    
believes that all Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing      
requirements in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
