Gryphon Networks Joins Siebel Alliance Program as a Siebel CRM OnDemand Partner

NORWOOD, Mass. -- Oct. 18, 2005 -- Gryphon Networks, the leading provider of real-time compliance and contact management solutions, today announced that it has joined the Siebel Alliance Program as an OnDemand Partner. Siebel Systems, Inc. is a leading provider of customer-facing solutions. Through this alliance, Gryphon Networks will provide sales, marketing and compliance representatives across a broad spectrum of industries a fully integrated productivity, usability and regulatory compliance offering. By linking Siebel CRM OnDemand and Contact OnDemand customers to Gryphon Networks' industry-leading Integrated Compliance and Contact Management Platform (ICCMP), this real-time, integrated solution will help joint Siebel CRM OnDemand/Gryphon Networks customers better track their sales and marketing activities, achieve full regulatory compliance, gain unparalleled levels of customer contact management capabilities, and realize maximum value from their investment in a Siebel CRM OnDemand solution. Gryphon Networks' new technology is being demonstrated in Booth #418 in the Siebel CustomerWorld Solutions Pavilion, October 18, at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

Siebel CRM OnDemand delivers complete sales, marketing, and service capabilities, including the industry's only built-in real-time analytics, virtual call center technology, and embedded best practices, and provides world-class hosting services and support. Gryphon Networks' ICCMP automates every aspect of regulatory compliance, while driving alternative customer contact methods to reach potential customers that are lost to Do-Not-Call, Do-Not-Fax, Do-Not-Mail and Do-Not-Email legislation across all customer interaction channels.

Gryphon Networks' ICCMP is powered by a preference and exemption rules engine, designed to maximize regulatory exemption opportunities, support customer-specific suppression rules and preference marketing intelligence. This engine enables firms to target the right prospect, with the right message in their preferred method of contact. ICCMP provides companies the ability to streamline communications with highly desirable prospects, automatically choosing alternative customer acquisition methods, and leverage "exemption management" technology to redirect sales efforts to a broader audience safely. This approach yields exclusive access to pre-qualified prospects who are "off limits" to competitors due to legal exemptions that permit contact only through existing business relationships for a pre-defined period of time.

"We are joining forces with Siebel Systems to provide Global 2000 companies a powerful, fully integrated compliance, usability and productivity solution that will enable companies to capitalize on the full potential of their Siebel CRM OnDemand investment, significantly enhancing their sales and marketing effectiveness, and providing them a distinct competitive advantage," said Keith Fotta, President and CEO of Gryphon Networks.

"Siebel's joint offering with Gryphon Networks allows customers to achieve rock-solid regulatory compliance across all customer contact methods, but most notably through phone interactions," said Mike Betzer, Vice President, Contact Center & Service Products, Siebel Systems. "Our joint offering increases the size of a prospect pool through alternative compliant channels, allowing companies to increase lead management opportunities and greatly enhance revenue-generation potential."

Siebel Systems forms alliances with proven technology leaders to deliver tangible business benefits throughout the enterprise. By choosing Siebel customer-facing and validated partner solutions, Siebel Systems' customers can pursue a best-of-class software acquisition strategy. The Siebel Validation Program applies rigorous technical scrutiny to evaluate the integration of third-party solutions with Siebel customer-facing solutions. Integrations that meet the strict testing criteria are validated and documented by the Siebel Validation Program. Gryphon Networks has committed to submitting its unique ICCMP-based compliance, usability and productivity solution prior to the end of 2005.
