Business Wire, Feb 6, 2007

CHICAGO -- SPSS Inc. (NASDAQ:SPSS), a leading worldwide provider of predictive analytics software, today announced its market-leading predictive analytics platform, SPSS Clementine, has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver([R])" status. The software solution achieved this level of SAP certified integration by leveraging the power of the SAP NetWeaver Portal for reporting the results of analysis, and the SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (SAP NetWeaver XI) to intercommunicate with data from the SAP[R] Bank Analyzer set of applications.

This initial solution specifically focuses on providing additional predictive capabilities to SAP Bank Analyzer, such as credit risk modeling and model validation. SAP Bank Analyzer provides functions for finance and risk management and enhances a bank's performance by delivering flexible reporting functions and embedded best practices.

"As our customers incorporate predictive analytics into their core business processes, it's imperative they integrate this capability into their operational systems, which is why our support of SAP solutions is so critical," said Patrick McCue, vice president of worldwide alliances at SPSS. "Achieving Powered by SAP NetWeaver status of SPSS Clementine is the initial stage of SPSS' strategic approach to working with leading enterprise software companies such as SAP, ensuring that SPSS predictive analytics solutions support their applications. It also creates the foundation for developing the predictive enterprise."

To develop and integrate its software with the SAP NetWeaver platform, SPSS partnered with Bristlecone Inc., a leading provider of enterprise consulting and systems integration service. Bristlecone is an SAP Services partner offering implementation, development and support services for SAP solutions, including SAP NetWeaver.

Kemal Koeksal, vice president and general manager of Bristlecone Labs, said, "As SPSS is the leader in predictive analytics software, we are delighted we partnered with them on this integration with SAP NetWeaver to make the technology available within existing SAP solution-based environments. We look forward to extending our partnership into developing real composites with SPSS."

McCue added, "We're proud to have achieved Powered by SAP NetWeaver qualification with the support of Bristlecone in such a short period of time."

SAP NetWeaver unifies integration technologies into a single platform and is pre-integrated with business applications, enabling change and reducing the need for custom integration.
