Actuate to power Siebel`s information delivery in Version 7

Johannesburg, 19 Mar 2002

Actuate Corporation, the information delivery market leader represented locally by Comparex Africa Customer-Oriented Applications (COA), and Siebel Systems have announced an extension of their relationship that includes the use of Actuate technology in Siebel 7.

Siebel will provide its more than 3 500 customers worldwide with a fully integrated information delivery solution that scales to support the needs of the entire enterprise. The relationship with Actuate provides important technology as part of this solution.

"Our many Actuate customers in SA will testify to the impact of information delivery on their business," says Rodney Hood, managing executive at Comparex Africa COA. "We expect the integration of Actuate to deliver equivalent value to Siebel customers."

Actuate has more than 200 OEM customers whose products range from applications for e-marketplaces to customer relationship management (CRM) to professional services automation. These e-business leaders and packaged software vendors choose Actuate because its software represents the latest in information delivery technology and its e.Services group enables easy integration with existing application infrastructure, thus speeding time to market for new products.

Further, Actuate`s commitment to industry standards including Java, LDAP and XML ensures its product will be compatible with today`s most prevalent e-business applications.

Siebel Report Server provides customers with advanced information delivery capabilities, including DHTML Web browser report delivery, report scheduling, solution scalability, and cross-platform support within the context of Siebel applications. Siebel Report Server enables the delivery of personalised and interactive reports to employees, customers and partners.

"As many of our customers are aware, Siebel recently acquired nQuire Software and released Siebel Analytics, a suite of advanced analytical applications with Siebel 7," says Richard Gorman, senior VP of products for Siebel. "The Actuate e.Reporting Suite and Siebel Analytics are excellent complements, offering Systems customers a full suite of powerful information delivery technologies as a part of their Siebel application environment."
