NewsGator Integrates Spanning Salesforce to Add RSS Functionality to Salesforce.com

DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 31, 2007 -- NewsGator Technologies, the leading RSS company, and Spanning Partners today announced a partnership to deliver updates from the Salesforce.com customer relationship management (CRM) system through NewsGator's Enterprise RSS Solutions. By combining Spanning Salesforce and NewsGator's award-winning solutions, sales, marketing and service teams will have instant access to CRM information when they are in the office or out in the field via the Web, mobile devices, Microsoft Outlook® and desktop readers.

Users can quickly and easily choose from dozens of feeds -- or create their own -- to track leads, opportunities, activities, contacts, documents and support cases to provide the highest level of customer service. NewsGator customers using Spanning Salesforce will always have the latest information available without needing to login to Salesforce.com.

The capabilities are available through the NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES) and NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand (NGEOD) services. NGEOD delivers this capability in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, eliminating the IT burden of deploying, hosting and maintaining an on-site RSS server. NewsGator Enterprise Server won an InfoWorld 2007 Technology of the Year Award last month (http://www.newsgator.com/enterprise-infoworld.aspx).

Users signing up for a free 30-day trial of NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand will also receive a 30-day trial subscription to Spanning Salesforce. For more information, visit: http://www.newsgator.com/on-demand.aspx.

"RSS is clearly the most powerful method for delivering CRM data where it needs to be, in real-time," said Charlie Wood, founding principal of Spanning Partners. "The success of a business can often rest on the knowledge and information sales and marketing teams have about their customers. Giving them a way to have easily accessible, continuously updated information that they can look at anywhere is invaluable. Together, Spanning Salesforce and NewsGator bring that capability to our customers through the power of RSS."

"With sales, marketing and service professionals constantly facing information overload via e-mail, having updates from enterprise applications delivered via RSS can significantly improve their productivity and effectiveness," said Dave Keller, General Manager, Enterprise Solutions for NewsGator Technologies. "The combination of Spanning Salesforce and NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand provides the opportunity for sales, marketing or service teams to have access to important information, when they want and where they want it, without having to worry about the IT requirements."
