At eLink2002 today, Commerce One (Nasdaq:CMRC), the Business Internet Company, today announced spend analysis and post-design document collaboration capabilities to the Commerce One Source(TM) solution through alliances with Analytics Inc. and Digital Paper. With the added functionality, enterprise customers can easily identify savings opportunities and deliver complex technical content to trading partners across global supply chains.

"Spend analysis and document collaboration are core to strategic sourcing, helping customers achieve measurable return on investment," said Scott Wilkerson, senior director of product marketing, Commerce One. "The alliances with both Analytics Inc. and Digital Paper bring these critical capabilities into Commerce One 5.0 giving customers the ability to identify multi-dimensional spend analysis data and communicate changes to complex engineering product specifications more easily and efficiently."

Commerce One Source and Analytics, Inc.

Commerce One Source is a comprehensive solution that provides visibility and control across the entire strategic sourcing process and helps enterprises automate critical sourcing and negotiation activities. Analytics Inc. provides a complementary spend analysis service that extracts and aggregates enterprise spend data from various backend and ERP systems. Commerce One's Sourcing intelligence component takes this valuable information and produces advanced, multi-dimensional spend analysis and reporting, which allows organizations to identify savings opportunities by assessing contract performance to develop a more effective sourcing strategy.

"Spend analysis provides critical insight into an organization's spending patterns and can help companies save money quickly and easily, usually delivering measurable ROI," said Harris Usdan, executive vice president of Analytics, Inc. "As a component of Commerce One Source, our best-in-class methodologies and technology are designed to allow Commerce One customers become leaner and more cost-efficient organizations."

Commerce One and Digital Paper

Digital Paper brings post-design document collaboration capabilities to the Commerce One Source request and negotiation component. Digital Paper's patented technology enables organizations to exchange and share large volumes of technical and engineering content associated with complex direct materials in a secure, Web-based environment. In addition, organizations can communicate and track changes to complex documents easily and efficiently as well as synchronize content with business partners across the global supply chain.

"Engineering documents are integral to the request and negotiation process when sourcing complex goods," said Anthony P. Cook, chief marketing officer of Digital Paper. "Time and money are often lost dealing with these documents during the sourcing process and supplier interaction. Our market leading technology will help Commerce One customers speed procurement cycles and reduce costs."
