Pivotal Enables B2B Digital Marketplace to Manage Personalized

Relationships and Internet Transactions

Pivotal Corp.(NASDAQ:PVTL), The eBusiness Relationship Company, today announced that iSalvex.com Inc. has selected Pivotal eRelationship 2000 to power personalized selling, marketing, customer service, financial transactions, and multi-channel communications. iSalvex.com is the premier B2B, Web-enabled auction site for recoverable insurance industry salvage assets.

iSalvex.com is targeting the $40 billion insurance industry salvage assets market with the goal of maximizing the value of recoverable assets for insurance industry sellers and business buyers worldwide. The company is the primary, global Internet marketplace for insurers and targeted business buyers to exchange recoverable salvaged assets efficiently and conveniently.

iSalvex.com brings a digital economy solution to a market that has traditionally been highly fragmented and decentralized.

"Pivotal provides the core integration technology behind our B2B Internet exchange," said John Barberich, CEO, iSalvex.com.

"We selected Pivotal eRelationship 2000 because it is fast, flexible, comprehensive, and optimized for the Microsoft Internet platform. In addition, it will allow us to launch our B2B Internet exchange rapidly and seamlessly, incorporating the high level of functionality we need to serve our customers appropriately, and to capture and maintain the premier position in our market."

Pivotal's eRelationship(TM) 2000 will differentiate iSalvex.com by integrating auction functionality - such as personalized buyer alerts, bidder notifications, customer service interactions, billing and all marketing and sales communication with other business operations. Not only will this integrated approach provide a highly efficient platform for conducting business, but it will also maximize each listing's exposure and ensure the timely communication of the information each buyer needs to bid and win.

According to Norm Francis, president and CEO, Pivotal, "Pivotal provides an ideal infrastructure for the next generation of personalized digital marketplaces. Pivotal eRelationship 2000 will empower iSalvex.com's Internet exchange to successfully bring together motivated sellers and a global audience of buyers. The partnership between Pivotal and iSalvex.com creates the premier personalized online marketplace for recovered assets in the insurance industry."
