Market Wire, January, 2006

Intacct Corporation, the leader in on-demand ERP, and salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), the market and technology leader in on-demand customer relationship management (CRM), today announced that SchoolDude.com, Inc. and yearmovie, Inc. have deployed Order Management via the salesforce.com AppExchange. Order Management increases revenue through a faster sales cycle, reduces the average cost of sales and fortifies corporate governance around financial reporting. Built on the AppExchange on-demand platform, Order Management for AppExchange is immediately available for test drive and deployment at www.appexchange.com, in conjunction with the Salesforce Winter '06 release.

"We make a change in Salesforce and the data is instantly updated in Order Management, and vice versa," said Kent Hudson, CEO, SchoolDude.com. "We now have a centralized repository for all our front-office and back-office data. With Order Management, Salesforce serves as the hub of our business, allowing us to better serve the national educational market."

"Our business is rapidly growing and we need to scale," said John Burgess, CEO, yearmovie. "With Order Management, we have one integrated system -- built on the AppExchange on-demand platform--to manage sales, customers and products. This enables us to tie core data to our critical business functions, including customer interactions, shipping, order management and marketing."

"In AppExchange, salesforce.com has established the world's first marketplace for on-demand business applications, where customers can bundle the specific services they need to run their business operations more effectively," said Robert J. Jurkowski, CEO and president, Intacct Corporation. "As a salesforce.com partner, Intacct is leveraging the AppExchange to increase sales through new customer acquisitions."

With AppExchange, salesforce.com customers now have access to new applications that bring the benefits of salesforce.com to an entire business, letting them manage and share all of their company information on-demand. Using AppExchange, companies can easily add any number of new on-demand applications to their existing Salesforce deployments, extending their success and making the full power and creativity of the salesforce.com customer, partner and developer community available with just a click.

"Order Management is a natural extension of Salesforce into the back office," said Adam Gross, director, product marketing, salesforce.com. "As the limitations of client-server integration evaporate in the on-demand world, our customers can deploy best-of-breed ERP applications from Intacct, fully integrated with market leading on-demand CRM like Salesforce, without a complex software integration project."

Order Management, which lets users create sales quotes, convert quotes to orders, track fulfillment in real time and issue and manage invoices in Salesforce, increases revenue through a faster sales cycle, reduces the average cost of sales and provides executives with a top-down view of the company's business performance.

Order Management for AppExchange is one of more than 150 application listings created by salesforce.com, its customers and partners that are now available on the salesforce.com AppExchange, the world's first on-demand application platform.
