The Open Supplier Network and Accelerating Market Transition to On-Demand Solutions Fuel Growth

Kansas City, Mo.
Perfect Commerce, Inc., the largest provider of On-Demand Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) solutions and The Open Supplier NetworkSM (The OSNSM), today announced the company continues its leadership of the On-Demand SRM market with the addition of 25 new customer contracts in the second quarter of 2005. The agreements include expanded services and solutions with current customers as well as the addition of new clients. The new customers join a roster of more than 500 existing clients, over 100 of which are in the Fortune 500.

"It is clear that we are in the midst of a distinct market transition to On-Demand solutions, as well as a renewed interest in efficiently managing supplier connectivity and content delivery through open networks," said Sandy Kemper, chairman and CEO of Perfect Commerce. "As the leading provider of On-Demand Supplier Relationship Management solutions, the world's largest independent supplier network and a host of supply chain consulting and implementation services, Perfect Commerce is well positioned to capitalize on these trends."

The On-Demand computing model enables Perfect Commerce customers to rapidly realize compelling bottom-line results, including operational implementation within weeks, full payback and ROI within months, initial solution fees 50 percent lower than traditional software and ongoing operating costs half those of installed software. The company's growth continues to be driven by its ability to deliver these customer benefits through its full suite of On-Demand source-to-settle solutions, The OSN and a comprehensive collection of SRM services.

Perfect Commerce SRM Services help customers expand their capabilities, tackle complex supply chain challenges and accelerate results through strategic and e-sourcing programs, best practice analysis, knowledge solutions, instant savings programs and solution deployment services. As the largest independent and open supplier network, The OSN streamlines purchasing and improves spending controls by enabling buyers and suppliers to transact electronically. These capabilities are extremely popular with Perfect Commerce buyer and supplier clients alike and drove a 70 percent increase in spend volume through The OSN during the past 12 months.

"Our comprehensive On-Demand applications, the scale of The Open Supplier Network and our deep supply chain expertise are a powerful combination of solutions that are being well received by the marketplace," said Kemper. "We intend to maximize the benefits of these solutions in our quest to simplify commerce, enhance efficiencies and accelerate bottom-line results for our customers."
