For Kinetics, having a complete, Java-based selling solution that empowers customers to take control of configuring and purchasing complex products online is a critical success factor," said Alan Naumann, president and CEO, Calico Commerce.

      "The polymer industry in India and the Middle East is fragmented, providing us with a great opportunity to offer real value to both buyers and suppliers by launching an e-Hub that brings them together -- but to capitalize on this opportunity, we have to deploy our B2B exchanges quickly," said Sridhar Ganesan, CEO of Skymach Corporation.

      "We`re excited to work closely with Skymach as it builds PolymerGlobal, the only end-to-end solution for small to mid-sized polymer manufacturers and processors who want to sell online in India and the Middle East," said Alan Naumann, president and CEO of Calico Commerce. "This deal is a significant move for Calico and signals continued growth for the company internationally. Our eBusiness expertise and superior technology, combined with Skymach`s relationships with leading polymer manufacturers and processors should result in powerful public and private Web-based offerings that leverage the Internet for greater economic benefit."

      PolymerGlobal is a division of Skymach Corporation, the leading provider of Internet-enabled applications, business solutions and infomediary to companies in India, the Middle East and around the world.

      Calico Commerce Signs Contract
      with Technology Leap Holdings to Build B2B Marketplace
      for Global Consumer Packaged Goods Suppliers in eMerging Markets


      Calico® Market Maker™ Powers Trading Exchange
      Serving Hypermarkets, Supermarket and Retail Stores


      San Jose, Calif. - January 10, 2001 - Calico Commerce, Inc., (Nasdaq: CLIC), a leading provider of software that enables corporations to sell over the Web, today announced that Technology Leap Holdings (TLH), the first sell and buy-side trading exchange for retail outlets, has chosen Calico® Market Maker™ to power its B2B marketplace in Turkey and other emerging market countries. TLH`s B2B marketplace will initially bring together suppliers and retailers such as Efes, Eczacibasi and Gima, as well as service suppliers such as Cap Gemini Ernst & Young to serve the Consumer Packaged Goods industry. The marketplace, which is expected to go live by March 2001, includes electronic product catalogs, online order management, order tracking and control, banking, personalization and loyalty services.

      Today, large sales forces are required to make regular visits to retail outlets -- sometimes up to twice a week -- to take orders for new products and stock replenishment. TLH will provide retail outlets in emerging markets with a B2B Marketplace that streamlines this process and provides a full range of e-Commerce functionality including personalization, dynamic custom pricing, product catalog, order management and online sales. With Calico Market Maker serving as the platform, TLH will bring buyers and sellers together online, and will provide all participants with a unique, local solution optimized for their specific requirements. Users of the TLH Marketplace will continue personal contact between suppliers and retailers but with less frequency than is the case today.

      TLH selected Calico because of its proven success in helping customers to be first to market by deploying their B2B Marketplaces in record time. TLH was also impressed with the rich functionality of Calico Market Maker and Calico`s ability to serve the complex needs of this fragmented market with its scalable, standards-based Lightning architecture and powerful eBusiness applications based on BEA`s Weblogic Application Server. TLH plans to eventually use Calico® Loyalty Builder™, a customer personalization and customization application, and Calico® Price Point™, the company`s dynamic custom pricing software that enables corporations to maximize profit margins when selling complex products on the Web.

      "Calico`s proven ability to quickly get B2B marketplaces up and running makes Calico a clear choice over competitive solutions in the marketplace," said Michael Coombs, CEO of TurkeCom, TLH`s Turkish subsidiary. "Calico is able to provide not just basic Marketplace technology, but the personalization and complex pricing functionality that is key to efficient and effective buy/sell relationships. Calico already has several live marketplaces, and we believe the company is one of the best kept secrets in the industry."

      "We are delighted that TLH has chosen Calico. This is one of the most significant B2B Marketplaces in Europe with global brand name suppliers. TLH is committed to user satisfaction, both in terms of consumer affordability and trading partner profitability. In addition, TLH understands the challenges and characteristics unique to its market, and is harnessing the best available technology and expertise to power its world-class eBusiness platform," said Alan Naumann, president and CEO, Calico Commerce, Inc. "Today`s announcement is yet another example of Calico`s proven ability to power the eBusiness initiatives of emerging leaders such as TLH, who are pioneering new methods of trade and changing the way business is conducted over the Web."

      Calico Helps Telia Systems Save Millions
      The offering time has been cut from two weeks to 20 minutes. And there are fewer errors too. Thanks to the sales support system, Telia saves tens of millions each year.

      By: Johan Gustafsson
      Photo: Linus Hallgren
      Translated by: Anders Lotsson

      Early in 1999, Telia Systems decided to go all-out for Calico E-sales, one of several complete trading and sales systems for large companies.
      - The implementation of the Calico System and "guided selling" is a key component in our efforts to increase efficiency. Overall, we are expecting a cost effect to the size of tens of millions Swedish kronor per year because of more efficient and faster ordering routines, says Ingemar Billström who is the director of strategy development at Telia Systems.

      For a long time, industrial corporations took pride in playing hard to get. The road to a big order was paved with high-calorie business lunches, committee meetings and preferably some weeks of waiting between the bid and the actual offer. That`s how long it could actually take before a supplier figured out how to put his own products together to provide the perfect configuration for the customer. And that`s how long it still takes in certain places.

      For Telia Systems, which provides the marketing company of the Telia group with such products as telephone switches and computer networks, the sluggish sales process was named a survival issue as early as in the mid-90`s, In the early 90`s, the last remnants of in-company manufacturing were closed down, and Telia became more and more of a distributor. At the same time, the complexity of the products and services sold kept increasing. So in order not to lose ground, Telia Systems started looking for ways of making the sales machinery more efficient.
      - The more complex the products get, the greater the risk for so-called dirty orders, that is, wrongly configured orders that must be returned. We were forced to do something about that, says Ingemar Billström.

      The first step was to develop a local sales support system where the current range of products were stored in Excel files locally where the salespersons worked. But that system provided no active support for the salespeople and it was also complicated to update. So it soon became outdated.
      - As the web matured, we realized that we ought to distribute our product information over the web instead, where we could always keep it updated, says Ingemar Billström.

      So for one and a half years, Telia Systems has relied on the Calico sales support system. Calico competes with companies like Broadvision, IBM and Oracle on this fast-growing market.
      There are great savings to be made, and also money to be made on improving sales support. Market analysts Killen & Associates estimate that the world`s 2,000 largest corporations could save, on the average, 30 percent of their total costs by turning their sales and supply processes digital.
      - When we went looking for a system, our focus was on reducing costs, but we soon realized that this was also a way of developing our business. It used to take us two weeks to get a bid for offers to our customers. Today, it takes 20 minutes, says Ingemar Billström.
      - With the Calico system, we can predefine our offerings in a totally different way, and also handle the order and bill the customer automatically. On the whole, we expect a cost effect to the size of tens of million Swedish kronor for Telia Systems, he states.

      Two good examples of how configuration systems of this kind work are Dell and the British car trading site Oneswoop.com, both running on Calico products. In the case of Dell, the customer`s selection is immediately forwarded to the factory in Ireland and a unique computer is built to the customer`s specifications only a few hours later. In the case of Oneswoop, the order is automatically sent to car sellers on the European continent. The way Telia Systems use Calico is a bit special, since it`s not the Telia Systems salespeople that use the system, but salespeople at the Telia marketing company. The end customer does not get in touch with the system, but the benefit is the same.

      In the long run, the sales support system will also be able to work with new orders placed directly in the Telia Systems ordering system and then pass it on to the relevant supplier. Integration can be brought even further. The aim is to make the suppliers themselves responsible for providing the Telia sales support system with current information on compatibility, product versions, prices and known bugs.
      - When it comes to the technical details, after all, the supplier knows best, Ingemar concludes.

      The Calico E-sales software does cost a lot of money, in the case of Telia a couple of million Swedish kronor. And that`s what you`re likely to have to pay for advanced systems, says Filippa Jennersjö, director of system development at e-commerce consultant Establish.

      Suppliers know that they have hot technology and that they can charge a lot for it. Startups can make it cheaper for themselves by building their own solution, for example using the Microsoft platform.

      But then you run the risk of having to replace the system as the business grows. And it costs more to maintain your own system than a standard system.
      "When we went looking for a system, our focus was on reducing costs, but we soon realized that this was also a way of developing our business."

      Among premium priced e-commerce engines, Filippa Jennersjö sees two main groups. The tried-and-true systems, like Broadvision One-to-One Enterprise, could be described as complete standard packages that come with readymade applications. However, they may be lacking in flexibility.
      - More modern systems, on the other hand, are entirely Java-based and easier to upgrade, for example if you need to get better support for purchases or auctions on the net. IBM Websphere is hot, many use it, and so is ATG Dynamo. But Calico too is Java-based.

      E-commerce engines often cover many areas, from web shops to purchases, sales support and customer relation management.
      - Since we`re an independent e-commerce consultant, it is interesting for us to work with startups that are selling things directly to the customer over the web. But the great potential is in business between companies, says Filippa Jennersjö.

      All e-commerce systems of Calico`s caliber are in the million Swedish kronor range. The price is often based on the processing power of the customer. The best way of reducing the price is often to outsource the whole e-commerce flow to an ASP, a company that leases parts of its systems to customers.

      These types of services, however, is aimed primarily at smaller companies. One Swedish example is the ASP company Easytrade.net that will "lease" you a complete web shop with payment routines and logistics solutions at 1,800 Swedish kronor per month. The downside is that advanced features like product configuration and customer relation management profiles are often missing.

      American Corio is an ASP that also leases complex applications such as the business system SAP R/3 or the Broadvision CRM and e-commerce system.

      That way, smaller companies have access to the most advanced systems without having to launch an expensive and time-consuming installation.

      BEA Announces B2B Solution Based on BEA WebLogic Collaborate(TM)
      PR Newswire - January 15, 2001 06:00

      Calico, Hologix, Interwoven and Moai to Integrate Their Applications With The BEA Platform and Provide a Best-of-Breed E-Market Solution

      SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS), one of the world`s leading e-business infrastructure software companies, today announced agreements with leading software application partners, including Calico, Hologix, Interwoven and Moai, to integrate their B2B applications with the BEA WebLogic(R) Collaborate platform. Together, the BEA business-to-business (B2B) platform and applications from these partners are designed to offer customers a "best-of-breed" solution stack for conducting collaborative commerce in an efficient, scalable, and profitable manner.

      Applications from Calico, Hologix, Interwoven and Moai deliver a range of critical business functionality, including content and catalog management, RFP development and online negotiation, product configuration, quote and order management, dynamic pricing and pricing execution -- all key aspects of online trading and collaborative commerce.

      At the heart of the solution stack is BEA WebLogic Collaborate(TM), BEA`s new B2B infrastructure platform for rapidly linking trading partners, integrating e-business processes, managing B2B transaction lifecycles, and building dynamic e-marketplaces. BEA WebLogic Collaborate allows software partners to plug their applications into an extensible, standards-based B2B framework, and helps companies create comprehensive solutions that leverage leading application functionality and the power of the BEA WebLogic E-Business Platform(TM).

      "Many companies would like to take a best-of-breed approach to B2B," said Louise Smith, vice president of marketing for the BEA E-Commerce Integration Division. "To date, the challenge has been putting it all together. Pre-integrating leading B2B applications with BEA WebLogic Collaborate will help developers and systems integrators to more quickly create complete B2B solutions. Today`s announcement continues to accelerate BEA`s leadership in delivering true collaborative commerce."

      Collaborative commerce involves highly interactive, real-time and "win-win" trading interactions among B2B partners that have integrated their business processes and are leveraging the Internet to address common market opportunities and customer needs.

      "We believe corporations engaging in collaborative e-commerce will increasingly have a competitive advantage over their rivals, and the BEA WebLogic Collaborate platform is designed to maximize the benefits of B2B collaboration," said Dave Cardinal, chief technology officer of Calico Commerce, Inc. "Today`s announcement strengthens Calico`s existing relationship with BEA. Calico builds upon BEA WebLogic Server(TM) and BEA WebLogic Collaborate to bring configuration, catalog, pricing, quoting, and order management capabilities to B2B collaborative e-commerce."

      Hologix has chosen BEA WebLogic Collaborate as a platform to enable buyer and supplier collaboration during the RFI/RFP/RFQ development and negotiation process. Collaboration provides suppliers the ability to differentiate their offering while helping to ensure clear, concise communication of detailed product or service specifications. "BEA WebLogic Collaborate is a critical component of the Hologix value proposition," said Kathleen Toupkin, vice president of marketing and business development for Hologix. "Hologix is proud to offer a complete suite of applications which cover both strategic procurement and negotiation-based trading exchanges, all built on BEA."

      "Interwoven is delighted to have been selected by BEA as its key content management go-to-market partner for this launch," said Frank Florence, vice president and general manager of Interwoven`s B2B business unit. "BEA and Interwoven have worked hard to develop a common view on the dynamic challenges facing both B2B commerce and content. We clearly see the introduction of BEA WebLogic Collaborate as a major step in directly addressing many of these challenges."

      "For companies moving critical business processes to the Web such as strategic sourcing, it becomes increasingly important that solution providers bring the best technology and the most valuable partnerships, optimized through a single, open platform for communication," said Arnold Waldstein, vice president of marketing and strategic alliances for Moai. "When Moai developed our first LiveExchange(TM) release over three years ago, we built the product on the BEA WebLogic platform. Today, as a best-of-breed online negotiation solution provider, Moai is pleased to offer an online negotiation solution to complement BEA WebLogic Collaborate. As a partner, we can extend the quality and level of expertise we offer to our joint exchange and corporate e-commerce customers."

      Tolle Arbeit Fasty!!
      Leider bin ich nur des englischen nicht mächtig.
      Aber egal was in den Texten steht, die Entwicklung in der letzten Zeit ist beachtlich und ich wünsche Dir weiterhin viel Erfolg mit deinen Calico´s.
      Wenn ich nicht schon fast mein ganzes Geld verzockt hätte, könnte ich mir vorstellen hier zu investieren.

      Hallo,
      wahrscheinlich bin ich einer der letzten, der noch keine informationen über den verbleib meiner 1500 stück calico aktien hat. in meinem depot tauchen sie nicht mehr auf. war längere zeit unterwegs. scheinen jetzt fort zu sein. wem geht es ebenso? bin eigentlich nur interessiert, wo sie geblieben sind und wie das ganze vor sich gegangen ist. ist leider ein verlust von vielen!
