Market Wire, September, 2005

iEnterprises, Inc. today announced it has joined IBM's PartnerWorld Industry Networks, and has been selected as an advisor to the IBM PartnerWorld Advisory Council.

iEnterprises is a long-term IBM Premier Business partner with more than a decade of CRM experience primarily in the professional services, manufacturing, financial services and legal sectors. As part of the PartnerWorld Industry Networks, iEnterprises has been able to share IBM's sales, marketing, and technical expertise to further develop and deliver solutions that meet customer requirements in the professional services and manufacturing industries.

Through the networks, iEnterprises has already received several benefits in a short period of time. iEnterprises has utilized IBM's Campaign Designer, a lead-generating mailer and telemarketing campaign, to raise visibility around iEnterprises' wireless CRM product, CRM on the Go. In addition, iEnterprises joined other ISVs, technology press, and influential industry analysts, in a financial services roundtable discussion to share best practices and seek realistic ways to better service customers in today's competitive environment. iEnterprises has furthermore tapped IBM's vast marketing resources to organize a joint breakfast seminar geared toward financial services executives looking to implement wireless and RIM BlackBerry CRM solutions. This event is slated to be held in New York City on September 27, 2005.

"We're very impressed with what IBM is achieving within the ISV community through these networks," said John Carini, CEO of iEnterprises, Inc. "The networks strengthen the IBM and ISV bond, and meaningfully allow companies of all sizes to swap case studies, better pinpoint customer needs, and pool marketing resources. At the end of the day, our mutual customers get superior technology and expertise that promote collaboration and truly solve their business needs."

iEnterprises carries two chief products: iExtensions CRM software, a Notes-based CRM product, and CRM on the Go, a wireless CRM application for the BlackBerry and other handheld devices. The products leverage various IBM technologies including WebSphere, DB2, Lotus Notes and Lotus Workplace. Both iExtensions CRM and CRM on the Go leverage the latest industry standards including J2EE and Web Services technologies. These on-demand products are available as a hosted solution via an IBM hosting facility or as an on-premises model.

"We're pleased that iEnterprises has been such an active member of the PartnerWorld Industry Network and provides us with ongoing feedback around the needs and nuances of the small-medium enterprise," said Buell Duncan, general manager, ISV and Developer Relations, IBM. "iEnterprises' participation brings us closer to creating a true On-Demand ecosystem founded on innovation."

The IBM PartnerWorld Industry Networks provide ISVs with comprehensive business insight, technical resources, networking opportunities, and marketing and sales support designed to help them reach more customers and close deals faster.
