Chicago , Illinois and Toulouse, France, January 17, 2008 - Access Commerce (Euronext: 7424), today announced that the company has received a Positive rating in Gartner's "MarketScope for Sales Configuration: 3Q07" (October 29, 2007 by Gene Alvarez). Cameleon eConfigurator, which is part of the Cameleon Commerce Suite, helps companies eliminate errors and non-value added activities, decrease cycle times and improve customer satisfaction, resulting in increased revenue and a reduction in sales and operational costs.

The Gartner report states, "Sales configurators reduce complexity and improve productivity by helping salespeople or customers in a self-serve environment match customer needs to unique products and service offerings. Sales configuration systems are used to configure STO, ATO and ETO [ship-to-order, assemble-to-order and engineer-to-order] products as well as non-product information such as pricing, discounts, and customized financing plans." According to Gartner, a Positive rating indicates the company "demonstrates strength in specific areas, but execution in one or more areas may still be developing or inconsistent with other areas of performance."

“Companies continue to struggle with complex pricing and configuration rules. Extensive use of spreadsheets to calculate prices and create quotes results in annoying delays and costly errors. Spreadsheets are complicated to maintain, and everyone seems to end up with a different version,” said Kurt Haller, Executive Vice President at Access Commerce. “In addition, many companies that have adopted earlier generation configurators find them difficult to deploy across sales channels and international markets, creating artificial barriers to improved responsiveness and effectiveness. Cameleon helps companies overcome these problems with a proven, flexible solution that quickly delivers results.”

The Cameleon eConfigurator is a powerful product configurator solution capable of meeting the widest range of complex selling needs. Instantly manage any number of product features, service or pricing variations to guarantee quotation and order accuracy across every sales channel. Cameleon easily integrates with existing enterprise systems to deliver compelling benefits:

• Cut days or weeks from quote and proposal development cycles
• Produce more quotes and orders with less people
• Present relevant up-selling and cross-selling options to increase margins
• Eliminate errors that impact customer satisfaction, increase fulfillment costs and delay cash receipts
• Reduce order-to-fulfillment cycle times and deliver products more quickly

Cameleon eConfigurator is part of the Cameleon Commerce Suite of multi-channel e-commerce applications for sales teams, channel partners and self-service customers that are fast and easy to deploy.
