Beagle Research Group Names Salesnet On-Demand CRM ''WizKid''.

BOSTON -- Salesnet Recognized For Industry-Leadership With Workflow-Based SFA, Advanced APIs/Web Services, & Success With OEM Channel

Salesnet, the leading provider of on-demand CRM software focused on driving sales effectiveness, today announced that is has received a 2005 CRM WizKid award from Beagle Research Group, an independent consulting and market research firm. As part of the recognition, Beagle Research has developed a comprehensive case study chronicling Harris Corporation's (NYSE:HRS) internal selection and implementation of Salesnet's on-demand CRM. In addition, Beagle Research also provided in-depth analysis of Harris's simultaneous decision to integrate Salesnet's Private Label Edition with its own back-office system, under the MediaExec CRM label, and market it to 137,000 sales professionals.

"Salesnet is a natural for this award," said Denis Pombriant, Founder and Managing Principal of Beagle Research. "This case study is important because it shows how Salesnet empowers its clients by enabling them to help their own customers. Salesnet pioneered an OEM strategy that will likely be copied in the on-demand industry. The relationship that Salesnet cultivated with Harris as not only a partner, but also as a client, indicates to us that Salesnet is an innovator to watch."

Beagle Research also highlights Salesnet's sophisticated XML Web Services Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). According to the case study, Harris leveraged these integration capabilities to internally tie together all customer information between the front and back office. At the same time, the APIs also provided fast integration between Harris's Novar Traffic Management and Billing System and Salesnet's Private Label Edition. The end result of these combined efforts were twofold. First, Harris was able to address and deliver positive changes with its own customer relationships. And, second, Harris was able to deliver a fully configured, integrated, and self-branded version of Salesnet to its customer base in less than two weeks.

In 2003, Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), formerly Encoda Systems, became Salesnet's first publicly disclosed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partner. At that time, Salesnet was the only on-demand CRM vendor to offer a Private Label Edition. Through the application syndication model, Salesnet's as-a-service CRM solutions can be rapidly deployed by a partner and bundled into their own offering. Salesnet has relationships with several vertical OEM partners including, ATX Communications, InteliTarget, Vertical Communication Technologies (VCT) and its subsidiary, Club Mark Online (CMO).

"It's an honor to be one of the first companies recognized by Beagle Research for delivering innovation and success into the CRM industry," said Alan Goldsworthy, Chief Executive at Salesnet. "We've always believed that CRM is not a one size fits all approach. From our vertical editions to our robust 'as-a-service' options to the increased expansion of our channel network, we're committed to ensuring that both our clients and our partners achieve tangible and continual success with Salesnet. Recognition, like that from Beagle Research, helps to reinforce the distinct value and industry leadership we bring to the market."
