Selectica Announces New Contract Lifecycle Management Solution and Sales Agreement With EMC

Selectica (NASDAQ:SLTC), a leading provider of contract lifecycle management solutions, today announced the immediate availability of a new solution that leverages EMC Documentum enterprise content management and business process management technologies. Selectica also announced a global go-to-market alliance agreement with EMC Corporation whereby the two companies will co-market and jointly sell the solution.

The joint solution, unveiled at the IACCM Americas 2009 conference in Orlando, Florida, brings together the enterprise contract management software expertise of Selectica with the enterprise document management, business process management, and compliance expertise of EMC. This collaboration combines a unified and scalable contract repository with intuitive contract authoring and a flexible workflow engine capable of supporting each organization’s unique contract management processes.

Contract Lifecycle Management by Selectica and EMC provides companies greater efficiency and compliance throughout the entire contract lifecycle — from contract request, authoring, negotiation, and approval, through contract execution, on-going obligations management, contract amendment, and renewal.

According to Debbie Wilson, Research Director, Gartner, "Contract lifecycle management solutions have been proven in helping companies gain greater control and improve visibility in their contracting processes. Partnerships between enterprise content management and enterprise contract management vendors are constructive for organizations that wish to leverage their existing investments in an enterprise content management system.”

The Contract Lifecycle Management solution delivers rapid time to value with expected payback in less than six months. The solution allows companies to:

• Cut contract cycle time
• Boost productivity
• Reduce risks
• Track and meet contractual obligations and key milestones
• Integrate with key business processes to comply with contractual obligations

"At EMC, we're committed to delivering content-enabled applications to help customers solve complex business challenges,” said Neville Letzerich, Vice President and General Manager of Transactional Content Management at EMC. "We are pleased with Selectica’s decision to leverage the EMC Documentum Case Management Solution Framework as a foundation for this world-class contract lifecycle management solution. Together with Selectica, we bring to market a best-in-class solution for companies in demanding, contract-intensive environments.”

"With the Selectica-EMC relationship, one plus one really does equal three,” said Jason Stern, VP of Products & Business Development. "By combining Selectica’s ten years of contract management expertise with EMC’s undisputed leadership in enterprise content management and business process management, we’ve created a game-changing solution that enables companies to eliminate risk, save money, and increase revenue.”
