ESTECH Selects Siebel CRM On Demand Life Sciences Edition Over Salesforce.com

Innovator of Surgical Treatments for Cardiac Disease Selects Hosted CRM Technology Leader to Manage Pipeline, Improve Marketing ROI, and Boost Revenue

SAN MATEO, Calif. - August 17, 2005 - Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: SEBL), a leading provider of customer-facing solutions, today announced that ESTECH, a leader in developing technologies that enable surgical treatments for all types of adult cardiac diseases, chose Siebel CRM On Demand Life Sciences Edition over Salesforce.com for its hosted CRM solution. With Siebel CRM On Demand Life Sciences Edition, ESTECH expects to effectively target and segment customers, seamlessly track and convert leads, efficiently manage opportunities, and instantaneously analyze its sales and marketing results.

ESTECH is a privately held medical device company located in Danville, California. Its products are used in advanced surgical treatments for coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, and treatment of arrhythmias. ESTECH is focused on helping cardiac surgeons provide surgical techniques that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

"As a rapidly growing firm with international operations, ESTECH needed a solution that we could quickly and easily deploy, without a huge investment in hardware, software, and IT support," said Art Bertolero, CEO, ESTECH. "With Oracle Corporation, we chose a partner that understands the medical industry, has experience in working with other medical companies, and provides a solution that can be specifically tailored to the way we do business. Other providers we looked at didn't offer the medical-specific functionality that we need to effectively manage our business. With Siebel CRM On Demand Life Sciences Edition, we can now easily track all of the complex relationships that exist in our business-Oracle is delivering real results for us."

ESTECH required a solution that would provide a 360-degree view of its customers and enable the company to determine how to more effectively service these customers and drive new revenue growth. The company wanted the ability to track all customer interactions as well as the numerous relationships that its customers have with each other.

ESTECH selected Siebel CRM On Demand Life Sciences Edition after an in-depth evaluation of hosted CRM solutions, including Salesforce.com. Oracle's subscription model supports ESTECH's high-growth environment by delivering solid business results. Siebel CRM On Demand enables the company to quickly deploy world-class customer relationship management (CRM) functionality with minimal up-front investment.

With Siebel CRM On Demand, ESTECH sales representatives have benefited from a sales methodology directly built into the solution, as well as a clear view of their sales pipeline, including how each deal directly impacts the company and its bottom line. And ESTECH executives can now closely track the number of appointments scheduled, sales calls made, leads generated, opportunities created, and deals closed with Oracle's hosted CRM solution. These reports and historical trends allow ESTECH to create more effective marketing campaigns and ultimately drive more revenue.
