Miracle NT Chooses Siebel CRM On Demand to Accelerate Sales and Boost Customer Satisfaction

Spanish IT Consulting Firm Adopts Leading Hosted CRM Solution to Support New Sales Strategy

SAN MATEO, Calif.-September 22, 2005 - Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: SEBL), a leading provider of customer-facing solutions, today announced that Miracle Nuevas Tecnologias (Miracle NT) has selected Siebel CRM On Demand as its strategic hosted CRM solution to increase existing account penetration and provide increased customer satisfaction.

Miracle NT provides business software strategy, implementation, training, and support for Spanish companies of all sizes. However, with most of its personnel operating remotely, it was difficult for sales and service professionals to share customer information, make timely decisions on sales and service strategies, and increase Miracle NT's sales within its client engagements. The company embarked on an evaluation of CRM systems that would manage all aspects of its customer interactions from improving the productivity of the sales cycle to increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty through improved service operations. After investigating several on premise solutions, Miracle NT chose Siebel CRM On Demand for its ability to be quickly deployed companywide as well as its intuitive, easy-to-use interface.

"For our customer-focused strategy to be successful, we had to ensure that our professionals would learn the system quickly and then use it every day to make their jobs easier," said Luis Recuenco, Managing Director, Miracle NT. "We felt that Siebel CRM On Demand offered far more ease-of-use and utility than the other solutions we looked at. What good is a CRM system if your personnel either can't or won't use it? It had to be easy right from the start or we would never reach our goals."

Miracle NT's strategy is focused on growing its footprint-or number of products and services installed-within its existing customer base. The unified customer data within Siebel CRM On Demand will enable remote sales and service professionals to coordinate their sales efforts for specific customers. Additionally, Siebel CRM On Demand will track customer service issues so that appropriate team members can take corrective actions in a timely manner, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty-a key to increasing additional sales.

"When everyone involved with a given customer is on the same page, we end up offering solutions that are appropriate and add value," Recuenco continued. "If there are service issues, then the sales team needs to know that so they can be sensitive to customer concerns or can offer additional products and services that will solve the problem. With Siebel CRM On Demand we can present a completely professional face to the customer throughout all of our interactions. If we really know our customer needs-and even anticipate them-success will follow easily."
