Wed Jun 14 08:48:00 EDT 2000

LAS VEGAS, Jun 14, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Leader in E-Business Applications and Leader in Global Trading
Services Join To Deliver Next-Generation
E-Business Marketplace Solution

Today at SAPPHIRE(R) 2000 Las Vegas, the annual SAP Americas customer
conference, SAP AG (NYSE:SAP), the leading provider of inter-enterprise software
solutions, SAPMarkets Inc., the SAP subsidiary dedicated to delivering
mySAP.com(TM) marketplaces, and Commerce One Inc. (Nasdaq:CMRC), the leader in
global e-commerce solutions for business, announced a preliminary agreement to
jointly deliver the next-generation e-business marketplace solution for the
Internet economy.

The to-be-named marketplace suite promises to revolutionize business by offering
companies one-stop shopping for the entire range of e-business marketplace
services. Based on a common architecture, these services will range from
collaborative design through fulfillment, including industry-based content
services and business intelligence. The marketplace suite will transform linear,
serial supply chains to parallel, collaborative communities, dramatically
reducing cycle times, improving customer relationships and increasing
productivity for businesses worldwide.

The broad agreement will result in a single joint offering that will include the
best technologies and applications of both companies for e-business
marketplaces. Technology and applications will be provided by SAP and delivered
by Commerce One, SAP and SAPMarkets through joint development, sales and
marketing, beginning immediately. The marketplace suite will provide customers
with highly capable, open marketplace technology; e-business applications; and
delivery capabilities in a single solution.


The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of the Parts

The marketplace suite will leverage the companies` respective strengths and
create unprecedented opportunities for customers. Commerce One will provide the
marketplace infrastructure that enables companies to establish and operate
trading portals, and SAP will provide functionality in the areas of supply chain
management, product life-cycle management, customer relationship management and
business intelligence. The marketplace suite will combine Commerce One`s
industry-leading MarketSite Portal Solution, including the Exchange Operating
System, Auction Services and Content Engine, with industry-leading mySAP.com
e-business applications for advanced planning and optimization, product
life-cycle management and business information warehousing.

The companies also will join forces to develop a next-generation e-procurement
solution based on customer requirements as part of the marketplace suite. The
marketplace suite will adopt Commerce One`s XML Common Business Library (xCBL),
an industry-standard set of XML building blocks, and a document framework that
provides open integration with all buying and selling applications, as well as
open integration with business applications in every industry. In addition, the
companies will extend xCBL to incorporate the SAP(TM) Business Application
Programming Interfaces(TM) (BAPIs), enhancing end-to-end business processes over
the Internet.

Customers of SAP, SAPMarkets and Commerce One will enjoy a smooth transition to
front-office and marketplace e-business solutions for the new economy, and will
be able to participate immediately in the Global Trading Web, the world`s
largest business-to-business trading community. With procurement software, all
companies running supported SAP enterprise software will be able to connect to
the new marketplace suite without upgrading their internal systems.

"With the union of efforts between the companies, we will be able to achieve our
mutual vision of a frictionless economy," said Hasso Plattner, co-chairman and
CEO of SAP AG and CEO of SAPMarkets. "Our 13,000 customers want a single,
market-leading e-business marketplace solution to harness the power of the
Internet. SAP, SAPMarkets and Commerce One will deliver this solution."

"This `dream team` of industry leaders will deliver the collaborative
marketplace of the future," said Mark Hoffman, chairman of the board and CEO of
Commerce One. "Our exchange partners worldwide are demanding industry-leading
e-business applications. Our relationship with SAP adds tremendous value across
a broad range of functionality. This is a huge win for the entire Internet
economy."

To ensure the rapid, global deployment of the marketplace suite, the series of
agreements to be finalized by the companies will result in the purchase by SAP
of approximately $250 million worth of unregistered common stock in Commerce One
as well as royalty sharing between the parties over the three-year term of the
agreements. In addition, the companies will closely collaborate on new
technologies for the marketplace solution.

The companies will demonstrate live prototypes of business scenarios based on
the joint offering at SAPPHIRE 2000 Las Vegas, the SAP customer conference for
the Americas region, held June 14-16. There will be a live webcast of the press
conference on June 14 at 12:30 p.m. PDT; it can be accessed at

Kam grad in N-TV. Lies mein Thread unten.

[havok]

so eine nachricht und dann sell on good news, wie deprimierend. ich ging davon aus, dass c1 endlich wieder über die 70 hüpft... war wohl nix. wenn diese nachricht das nicht vermag, frage ich mich welche das überhaupt könnte...

[uger]

Ist deshalb u.U. die Software AG etwas in die Knie gegangen? Die kooperieren doch auch mit SAP und machen in XML.

[DimStar]

uger, die Software AG und C1 sind keine Konkurrenten ... ich glaube die SAG ist vielmehr im Bereich von xml-basierten Datenbanken und in der Systemintegration tätig.

"This is not a prelude to a merger or acquisition," said Chuck Donchess, executive vice president and chief strategy officer at Commerce One. "What we`re really seeing here is exponential growth in demand. We could not meet current business demand from the world`s largest companies."

Despite the decline in Commerce One`s stock price on the news, William Epifanio, a senior analyst at J.P. Morgan, said the partnership was positive for the company from both a marketing and technology standpoint.

"We believe SAP`s supply chain technology will augment Commerce One`s current exchange deals with large companies in the automotive, defense, and telecommunications industry that are looking to create an exchange for their indirect and direct spending," Epifanio said.

He added that the agreement should help improve Commerce One`s ability to handle transactions of direct materials, though it does not preclude the company from forming further partnerships to deliver other services. J.P. Morgan reiterated its buy rating following the alliance agreement, and retains its 12-month Commerce One target price of $125 a share.

dem ist wohl nichts mehr hinzuzufügen.

"We feel the SAP partnership should improve C1’s ability to handle direct material transactions, but do not believe this
precludes the company from further partnerships or acquisitions that deliver other services."

So sehe ich es im Grunde auch. C1 muß jedoch dahin kommen, mit ihren 1100 Mitarbeitern eben diese Applikationen früher oder später selbst zu entwickeln, mit denen SAP ihnen nun aushilft.
