Captiva Introduces New Partner Program; `Connected' Program Strengthens Relationships with Value Added Resellers and Systems Integrators.

SAN DIEGO -- Captiva Software Corporation (NASDAQ:CPTV), a leading provider of input management solutions, today announced the launch of its new Captiva Connected Partner Program (CCPP) that is designed to make partnering with Captiva easy and valuable for the company's 100-plus value-added reseller and system integrator partners. The CCPP enables Captiva to better identify and develop partners that can add substantial value in delivering enterprise input management solutions to end-user customers. At the same time, the CCPP benefits partnering companies by increasing Captiva's commitment to supporting channel relationships.

"Enterprise input management (EIM) is quickly evolving to be a mission-critical application. Our customers are demanding that their strategic software, hardware and service vendors work closely together to deliver seamless, cost-effective solutions," said Howard Dratler, Captiva's Executive Vice President of Field Operations. "Captiva has long enjoyed great partner relationships, and we look forward to taking this next step by putting more clarity and consistency around our partner program."

"As Captiva focuses on developing more intimate customer relationships with our Global 1000 accounts, partnering has become increasingly important," said Wayne Ford, Captiva's Vice President of Strategic Alliances and Channels. "We plan to continue partnering with industry leaders to deliver end-to-end solutions to our expanding customer base, and concurrently develop new partners and support their efforts to deliver Captiva solutions."

The CCPP includes the scalable infrastructure, policies, procedures and programs necessary to grow and support Captiva's value-added partner base and increase the amount of software delivered via the indirect channel. New features of the Captiva Connected Partner Program include:

--A tiered partner structure that delivers incremental investment and resources to those partners that demonstrate commitment and competencies to complement Captiva's solutions

--A partner training and development program, including a dedicated partner technical services engineer to define and deliver onsite solutions training

--A dedicated inside sales representative able to quickly respond to partner requests and help develop partner sales leads

--A partner portal that provides a secure interface for partners to access current sales tools and update detailed partner profiles

To support the CCPP, Captiva has nearly doubled the size of its strategic alliances and channel staff, and has hired Mr. Ford and Vice President of Americas Sales, Don Foster. Both executives have a great deal of experience with hybrid direct and indirect sales strategies.

"I've had the chance to meet with many of our partners and the consistent message I've heard is that Captiva's solutions have an exceptional value proposition," added Mr. Ford. "With more clarity, consistency and commitment around partnering, our partners foresee a great opportunity to jointly deliver value-added input management solutions to our customers."

Current Captiva partners have reacted favorably to the new CCPP and the company's increased focus on partnering. "Security MicroImaging and Captiva have effectively delivered solutions together for years. I'm thrilled to see Captiva's renewed focus, commitment and investment in partnering through the Captiva Connected Partner Program," said Bill Buerger, President of Security MicroImaging. "As one of the first CCPP Platinum Authorized Resellers, Security MicroImaging plans to work even closer with Captiva to deliver comprehensive input management solutions to help solve customer workflow problems."

Greg McCormick, President of Silicon Plains Technologies, also added his comments on the new program: "Silicon Plains made the strategic decision to expand our relationship with Captiva through the Captiva Connected Partner Program when it became clear that Captiva was fully committed to partnering to deliver end-to-end solutions to our customers. Captiva clearly understands the need to develop a strong partner program if the company is to continue delivering value-added input management solutions. We're confident the CCPP will bring the right focus, cooperation and resources to our partnership with Captiva."
