Above All Software Joins Siebel SMB Alliance Program as a Software Partner for Integration

Alliance to Provide Siebel Systems Customers with Direct Access to Applications and Legacy Systems Through a Composite Application Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Dec. 7, 2004 - Above All Software, a provider of award-winning business integration software, today announced that it has joined the Siebel SMB Alliance Program as a software partner. Siebel Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEBL) is a leading provider of business applications software

Through this alliance, Above All Software will provide Siebel Systems' customers with a powerful integration platform enabling traditional batch integration requirements and data synchronization between Siebel on-premise applications and Siebel CRM OnDemand. In addition, customers can rapidly assemble new composite applications that extend the reach of Siebel CRM solutions across the organization.

Today at a major launch event in San Francisco, Siebel Systems unveiled its comprehensive strategy focused on enabling small-and-medium sized businesses (SMB's) to achieve measurable business results with Siebel Systems' front office solutions. Through a unique combination of proven CRM offerings, a customer-centric go-to-market model and a value-added partner ecosystem, Siebel System's SMB strategy addresses the specific sales, marketing and service needs of SMB's.

"I've been building technology companies for nearly three decades, and the industry still struggles with the same basic application integration problems as when I started," said Roger Sippl, CEO of Above All Software. "Working with Siebel Systems and Above All, SMB customers will be able to cost-effectively achieve interoperability through service-oriented integration and the rapid assembly of composite applications. I am delighted that an important market-leader such as Siebel has the vision to understand the power of this new approach."

"Siebel System's alliance with Above All addresses the needs of our SMB customers to develop integrated solutions easily and affordably," said Catherine Cherubino, Vice President, Channels and Alliances, OnDemand and SMB. "We selected Above All as our leading integration partner because they provide the full range of integration capabilities that our customers have told us they need - from traditional batch or data-level integration, to the more progressive composite or service-level integration."

Through the creation of enterprise services that can be assembled as composite applications, Above All Software enables a faster, lower cost alternative to traditional integration solutions. Siebel System's customers can easily move data from one system to another, whether integrating ERP or other legacy data into Siebel, or they can synchronize data between Siebel's on-premise solutions and Siebel CRM OnDemand. By leveraging a service-oriented approach to assembling composite applications, enterprise customers can access data from multiple systems into an integrated, interactive solution that streamlines business processes, dramatically improving operational efficiencies.

In order to provide an even wider range of front-office solutions for SMB's, Siebel Systems is extending its industry-leading alliance program to companies who have complementary solutions tailored for SMB's. Siebel Systems forms alliances that deliver tangible business benefits for its customers. With more than 250 partners worldwide, Siebel Systems has built an award-winning Alliance Program that enables its customers to work with consulting, software and platform companies that have demonstrated proficiencies and complementary offerings with Siebel Systems. As part of its SMB Alliance Program, Siebel Systems has recruited software partners that are specifically focused on the business requirements of SMB's, and is working with these technology and service providers to provide complete, integrated offerings for its customers.

By choosing Siebel SMB solutions and validated partner solutions, Siebel System's SMB customers can pursue a best-in-class strategy incorporating a variety of tailored offerings that are optimized for their business requirements.

The Siebel Validation Program applies rigorous technical scrutiny to evaluate the integration of third-party solution with Siebel business applications. Integrations that meet the strict testing criteria are validated and documented by the Siebel Validation Program. Above All has committed to submitting Above All Studio for validation in the first quarter of 2005.
