VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2003

Pivotal Corporation (Nasdaq:PVTL) (TSX:PVT), a leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) software for mid-sized enterprises, today announced that North Shore Credit Union (NSCU), one of Canada's fastest-growing credit unions, was awarded Credit Union Central of B.C.'s 2003 Credit Union Innovation Award. North Shore Credit Union was selected for demonstrating vision and commitment to innovation in terms of business processing, product development, and member service while acting as a catalyst for change. This award was presented at the Credit Union Central of British Columbia's 2003 Semi-Annual Meeting.

Headquartered in North Vancouver, B.C., NSCU is committed to making a difference in the lives of more than 42,000 members by helping them make smarter financial choices so that they can focus on what's important in life. In 1999, NSCU deployed Pivotal as its customer relationship management platform giving employees the tools and information to proactively provide responsive, creative and customized solutions for each member - in a way that meets their unique financial needs. In addition, NSCU is using the system to gain a deeper understanding of its members and create more efficient interactions - making the most of the credit union's full spectrum of financial products and building "Financial Wellness".

Since implementing the Pivotal CRM system, NSCU has experienced steady growth - achieving asset growth of 24% in 2002. Recognizing that many credit unions have limited IT resources for developing a CRM system on their own, NSCU set out to make this technology accessible and affordable. NSCU collaborated with Pivotal to create a new Web-based CRM application for financial services that helps credit unions deliver quick, intelligent customer service across all touch-points, identify member buying trends and service preferences, build extensive profiles that identify up-selling and cross-selling opportunities and conduct marketing campaigns that are personal, precise, relevant and timely.

"North Shore Credit Union is widely recognized for its exceptional member service, technology advancements and dedication to making a difference in the community," said Bo Manning, president and CEO, Pivotal. "We congratulate North Shore Credit Union on the success and recognition that they have achieved as a leader and innovator in the financial services industry."
