Chicago, Illinois and Toulouse, France, February 20, 2008 - Access Commerce (Euronext: 7424), a leading provider of E-Commerce and Configurator software, today announced that Air Liquide Welding, a division of the 11.8B € Air Liquide Group (Euronext 12007), has selected the Cameleon Commerce Suite. Air Liquide Welding designs and manufactures welding and material cutting systems under the brands Oerlikon, Saf-Fro, Cemont, Weldteam and Weldline.

Air Liquide Welding’s products and systems are custom configured and manufactured, with average selling prices in the hundreds of thousands of Euros. Their objective is to respond more quickly to customer requests by reducing the time it takes to generate a quotation, while at the same time improving quotation accuracy.

"The functionality offered by our ERP system didn't allow us to satisfy our needs in terms of the generation of quotes and sales proposals for the high-tech equipment we sell, which is different every time", explains Francis Poisson, Head of the Automation Skills Centre at Air Liquide Welding. "Our existing tools are based on spreadsheets that are neither reliable nor easy to maintain. In addition, every division uses a different version of these tools, creating major difficulties in our methods and processes, amplified by the international nature of our business."

Air Liquide Welding expects the following benefits from the implementation of Cameleon:
■ More accurate quotes and sales proposals
■ Improved responsiveness to the needs of prospects and clients
■ International standardization of sales methods and processes
■ Better integration between the front office and back office, in particular through the automated generation of manufacturing technical data for each configured order

Jacques Soumeillan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Access Commerce, stated: "In 2007, thanks to the signing of a number of new customers, we further strengthened our leadership position in Access Commerce's historic market, namely manufacturing. Faced with international competition, manufacturers have to set themselves apart through product innovation as well as the efficiency of their offering and improved sales productivity. Cameleon plays a key role with regard to these strategic challenges."
