Cameleon from Access Commerce Achieves ''Powered by SAP NetWeaver®'' Status; Enables Customers to Further Optimize Their Investments in SAP® Solutions

Business Wire, Sept 14, 2006

CHICAGO & TOULOUSE, France -- Access Commerce (Euronext:7424), a leading provider of multichannel commerce solutions, today announced that Cameleon 4.3GA has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver(R)" status from SAP AG (NYSE:SAP). The integration provided by Cameleon will enable companies to rapidly deploy Cameleon within their SAP NetWeaver platform-based environments and to access Cameleon functionality within the SAP NetWeaver Portal.

Selected by a wide range of enterprises worldwide, Cameleon from Access Commerce helps companies optimize complex selling and ordering processes by addressing critical requirements for product information management, e-commerce, configuration, pricing, quoting and order management across any sales channel (direct, call center, B2B, B2C, B2B2C). With Cameleon, companies are able to eliminate order errors, improve revenues and profit margins, eliminate non valued-added activities from commerce processes and become easier to do business with.

"We are delighted to have attained Powered by SAP NetWeaver status," said Kurt Haller, Executive Vice President of Access Commerce. "There is a reason why we selected the name Cameleon for our solution. Just like the reptile, Cameleon software is able to readily adapt to its environment, whether it be different product types, commerce processes, business models or in this case different technologies. Customers can now use Cameleon multichannel commerce solutions on the same platform as their SAP(R) solutions, speeding deployment, reducing integration cost and risk, and therefore lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO)."

To achieve Powered by SAP NetWeaver status, Access Commerce has demonstrated that Cameleon can be successfully deployed on a J2EE-based deployment of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server Release 6.40 and is accessible via the SAP NetWeaver Portal. This deployment has been tested and certified by the SAP Integration & Certification Center.

Access Commerce's Cameleon is powered by SAP NetWeaver. The SAP NetWeaver platform powers the mySAP(TM) Business Suite family of applications, SAP xApps(TM) packaged composite applications, and partner solutions. SAP NetWeaver unifies integration technologies into a single platform and is preintegrated with business applications, enabling change and reducing the need for custom integration.

"We have a number of customers today running SAP solutions," added Jacques Soumeillan, President & CEO of Access Commerce. "As an independent software vendor with Powered by SAP NetWeaver status, we will gain further visibility within the SAP solution-based ecosystem, which includes many companies in our key markets of manufacturing, distribution and services. Cameleon is now included in the SAP NetWeaver Partner Solution catalog, and we plan to participate in SAPPHIRE(R) and other marketing events to demonstrate the added value that Cameleon can bring to companies running SAP solutions."
