Technogym USA Selects Siebel CRM On Demand Over Salesforce.com to Improve Forecasting and Pipeline Visibility

Robust Analytics Capabilities and Customization Features Were Key Factors in Company's Purchase Decision

SAN MATEO, Calif. - May 05, 2005 - Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: SEBL), the leading provider of customer-facing solutions, today announced that Technogym USA, a leading provider of fitness equipment and solutions for health clubs and wellness providers, chose Siebel CRM On Demand over Salesforce.com for its hosted CRM solution. Siebel CRM On Demand allows Technogym to better manage its marketing campaigns, lead routing, sales forecasting, pipeline visibility, and opportunity management.

Technogym USA is the second-largest supplier of commercial fitness equipment in the world with products used in more than 25,000 fitness centers and 18,000 homes worldwide. "As a global company, we needed a solution that we could deploy quickly and easily, without a huge, risky investment in customization," said Frank Arant, Business Development Manager, Technogym USA. "We chose Siebel CRM On Demand for its real-time analytics and dashboards. And, with its intuitive customization capabilities, any extra configuration was quick and easy. We now have dramatically improved forecasting and opportunity management capability and higher user adoption."

Key to Technogym's decision was Siebel CRM On Demand's deep reporting and analytics capabilities. With these features, the company's sales managers were able to upgrade from forecasting with spreadsheets to getting real-time information for better visibility throughout the company. This includes the ability to access reports and analytics that provide an immediate status on the sales pipeline. Technogym sales representatives now only have to enter a small amount of relevant data to effectively track their deals and populate management dashboards and analytics. In turn, this reduction of administrative requirements increases the time available for selling.

Siebel CRM On Demand's intuitive configuration tools enable fast and convenient customization capabilities. Any new configuration requirements can be handled quickly, providing Technogym's sales representatives with the ease of use they require. In the future, the company plans to incorporate Siebel CRM On Demand's service capabilities and use the hosted solution to support its product catalog.
