Posted on: Tuesday, 22 February 2005, 09:00 CST

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Selectica, Inc. , a leading provider of applications for Sales Management Solutions, announced its attendance at IBM's Software University 2005 a success. Sponsored by IBM's Software Group, the annual sales, technical, and marketing education conference represents the largest gathering of IBM software executives and sales people from every solution center within IBM.

As an IBM Business Partner, Selectica was on hand to demonstrate its solutions to IBM's entire sales force. The conference coincided with the generally available release of the Company's new product, Selectica Enterprise Productivity Suite for Manufacturing (EPSM). Representing the first turnkey solution that increases sales productivity by integrating the Opportunity-to-Order process, EPSM was well received at the conference.

Philip Peterson, Vice President of North American Sales and Operations for Selectica commented, "As a strategic partner of IBM's, we are thrilled that our new out-of-box application, EPSM, was met with such excitement at the conference. The fact that IBM runs Selectica's configuration solution to provide its sales personnel, business partners, and customers with accurate information on systems configuration, manufacturing, and product availability is significant. In addition, given the fact that we run and leverage on many components of IBM software which include, but are not limited to, WebSphere App Server, Commerce Server and Suite, and Integration Server, as well as DB2 and Linux, we stand to bring a lot of value to IBM's sales channels."

Selectica's web-based solution serves as the sole configuration tool for all of IBM's hardware products, from personal computers to mainframes. The two companies have partnered for almost three years, demonstrating the powerful combination of Selectica's software and IBM's platforms and integration services to potential customers in various industries.
