Leading Business Magazine Recognizes Selectica in Annual Listing of Innovative Supply and Demand Chain Vendors

 

San Jose, Calif. – July 18, 2006 – Selectica (NASDAQ: SLTC), a leading provider of sales execution and contract management solutions, today announced Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine, the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, has named Selectica to its fifth-annual listing of the Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100.

Five years ago, Supply & Demand Chain Executive announced its first "100" list of supply chain solution providers, consultants and other organizations that were helping lead the way in transforming companies' supply and demand chains. This year the magazine focused the criteria for its "100" feature on innovation.

"Our readers turn to Supply & Demand Chain Executive to learn about new solutions and best practices for enabling the supply chain, to understand trends in supply chain technology, and to benchmark their own companies' enablement initiatives with those of other enterprises across industry verticals," explained Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "The corporate executives and line-of-business leaders who rely on the magazine want to know not only what the state of the art is today, but what will be the cutting edge of supply chain transformation and enablement tomorrow."

Selectica Innovation
Selectica develops best-of-breed solutions to solve critical sell-side and buy-side challenges by accelerating sales execution and automating contract lifecycle management. For years, Selectica has been a recognized leader in sales configuration technology for companies requiring highly customized solutions. During the past year, Selectica has expanded its portfolio to provide its customers with innovative solutions that take full advantage of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model that delivers faster implementations, lower total cost of ownership, rapid ROI and the ability to scale as needed.

In Nov. 2005, Selectica released Fastraq, an on-demand sales execution solution based on the same powerful rules-based modeling technology used to power billions of dollars of transactions at Selectica’s blue-chip customer base. Fastraq bridges the gaps between CRM and ERP by enabling companies to increase transaction quality, speed and volume by eliminating product information errors and manual processes that cause inaccurate orders and delayed sales. Selectica's second on-demand solution, Contract Performance Management (CPM), provides enterprise-wide visibility and control over the entire contract lifecycle management process. By centralizing all corporate commitments and enforcing internal and external compliance, CPM helps companies plug revenue leaks, control spending and limit risk exposure.

“We are honored that Supply and Demand Chain Executive has recognized our commitment to deliver innovative solutions to the marketplace,” said James Dias, vice president of marketing and sales for Selectica. “Selectica will continue to play a pivotal role in contributing to the advancement of supply chain excellence with sales execution and contract lifecycle management solutions that provide visibility and control of revenue-related activities and commitments.”
