Major New Customers Added Globally in 2006

 

ATLANTA (February 15, 2007) --- SEEBURGER Inc. today announced a 70% jump in
North American revenues and a 50% rise in international sales of its business
integration software and services in 2006, continuing the strong growth pattern of
the previous year. The company also expanded its staff by 30% in the U.S., hired
three long-time EDI/B2B technology professionals to serve in senior positions, and
continued to unseat incumbent vendors with its broad suite of EDI/B2B solutions.

 

New customers added during the year included Siemens Health Services, Cephalon,
Inc., Football Fanatics, Southco Inc., PENN Warehousing & Distribution, Inc., and
Anadarko Petroleum in the U.S. and The Tetley Group, Smiths News, PepsiCo
Deutschland GmbH, Harman Becker, Bridgestone, ESPRIT and Unilever
internationally.

 

Factors fueling the adoptions included SEEBURGER’s global EDI/B2B platform
enabling enterprises to standardize on one system worldwide, expanded
partnerships, and the availability of SAP XI expert services for enterprises migrating
to the SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI). Also contributing were
major reference customers who use SEEBURGER solutions to automate their Orders-
To-Cash and Procure-To-Pay processes with global trading partners including
customers, suppliers, logistics providers and financial institutions.

 

Other SEEBURGER milestones in 2006 included the opening of a fifth satellite office
in Sacramento and several new product releases. These included the addition of
message tracking and other new features to the SEEBURGER B2B Gateway, an
upgrade to the SEEBURGER EDI adapter available as an optional add-on to the SAP
NetWeaver technology stack, and a new SEEBURGER Inventory Monitor that equips
manufacturers and their suppliers with real-time visibility into parts inventory levels
for demand-based replenishment.

 

In addition, SEEBURGER formed a partnership with Procuri that is paving the way for
a new Integration as a Service model by enabling software-as-a-service providers
like Procuri to use SEEBURGER technology to rapidly integrate their applications with
customers’ back-end applications and databases under a subscription-based pricing
model.

 

“Our performance in 2006 reflects the strength of our offerings, the importance of
our partnerships, and ongoing industry consolidation that has caused other providers
to lessen their attention to the B2B sector,” said Scott Lewin, President and CEO,
SEEBURGER, Inc. “We have focused exclusively on B2B, EDI and enterprise
application integration services for more than 20 years, and that vision is why
organizations from the middle market to the Global 1000 are continuing to select our
solutions over competitors’ for their mission-critical B2B integration processes.”

optimize transactions throughout the extended enterprise by automating trading
