Union Financiere de France Standardizes on Siebel eBusiness Applications

Leading French Bank Improves Customer Service and Retention

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2000--Siebel Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:SEBL - news), the world`s
leading supplier of eBusiness applications software, today announced that Union Financiere de France (UFF), the leading
French bank, has chosen Siebel eBusiness Applications in order to create a single, comprehensive multichannel
customer information management system. Siebel eBusiness Applications will enable UFF sales, service and marketing
professionals to understand, anticipate and respond to customer needs for increased levels of customer satisfaction.

UFF provides financial consultation services to more than 115,000 private and 15,000 corporate customers regarding
selection and management of investments, life insurance, mutual funds and property. The bank`s founding objective
has remained to deliver the most professional service to its clients. According to the Banking Review, an international
study commissioned by the U.K., France leads innovation in current account products, and its retail banking customers
show a marked preference for personal contact, in comparison to other nations.

UFF investment advisors typically call on prospective and established customers in person to discuss complex and
significant transactions. The introduction of Siebel eBusiness Applications will allow UFF sales and service professionals
to capture these discussions or update records easily to maintain a complete history of service in one unified repository.

Siebel eBusiness Applications will enable UFF to establish a single, comprehensive multichannel customer information
management system. Whether customers prefer to contact the bank in person, or by phone, fax, email or the Web --
or traverse multiple channels -- more than 1,100 UFF professionals will share data from all of these interactions.
UFF sales professionals will review these inquiries to provide counsel and suggest timely investment adjustments to
achieve customers` financial goals and withstand market fluctuations. Marketing teams will plan targeted campaigns
based on accurate data about customer preferences and activity. Ultimately, by enabling UFF to understand and anticipate
clients` needs, Siebel eBusiness Applications will allow the bank to develop financial instruments and enhance service
to increase customer satisfaction.

``The globalization of financial services demands UFF maintain ongoing awareness of our customers` increasingly
sophisticated needs. Siebel Systems` reputation for 100 percent customer satisfaction prompted UFF to evaluate
Siebel eBusiness Applications, and our research confirmed this comprehensive multichannel solution to be best-suited
to achieve our goal of enhancing customer satisfaction,`` said Francois Lesieur, managing director of UFF.

``Siebel eBusiness Applications will enabled UFF sales and call center professionals to work together seamlessly and
ensure the service our customers receive is exceptional -- however they choose to communicate with the bank,`` said
Lesieur. ``We expect UFF will achieve gains in productivity as well as customer retention.``

Mannesmann ipulsys Standardizes on Siebel eBusiness Applications to Facilitate Global Internet-based Sales,
Marketing and Service Model

Leading Global Communications Company Accelerates Delivery of Unassisted Sales Strategy and Enhances
Customer Relationships Worldwide with Integrated eBusiness Solution

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2000-- Siebel Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SEBL - news), the world`s
leading supplier of eBusiness applications software, today announced that Mannesmann ipulsys, the global network-based
applications service provider, has chosen Siebel eBusiness Applications to support its global sales, marketing and service
operations. ipulsys is using Siebel eBusiness Applications to create a single, global view of its customers, making it
significantly easier for the company to win customers, accelerate product delivery and provide superior service through
the Internet.

ipulsys is using Siebel eCommunications, an industry-specific version of Siebel eBusiness Applications designed for the
specific business practices of the communications industry. Siebel eCommunications allows ipulsys to create a single
view of customers worldwide and rapidly establish an Internet-based selling model. By adopting this approach, ipulsys
is able to reduce the costs associated with identifying and acquiring new customers, develop customized products and
service offerings that meet customers` unique requirements and expectations more quickly, provide 24x7 customer service
and cost effectively up-sell and cross-sell additional services.

Siebel eCommunications generates accurate service orders for ipulsys` IP services customers and manages their billing
inquiries and adjustments. Sales and service staff can instantly access information such as billing, order management and
network management to deliver highly responsive customer support and significantly increased sales. Customers, in turn,
can instantly review and change the services they receive any time, anywhere, using ``interactive Customer Engagement``
(iCE), a Self Care System -- to modify service bandwidth or revise their customer pricing structure, for example.

Roger Bates, Chief Officer Service Assurance, ipulsys comments, ``The communications marketplace is changing almost on
a daily basis. To maintain a competitive edge, we must ensure our products and services are delivered cost-effectively and at
Internet speed. Our customers also need to access our products and services quickly and easily otherwise they risk being
overtaken by the competition. Using Siebel eCommunications, ipulsys has created an Internet-based unassisted selling
strategy, using a single view of the customer, which is empowering us to win business, accelerate the delivery of new products
and provide superior service to our customers.``

ipulsys, part of the Mannesmann Group recently acquired by Vodafone AirTouch plc, is enabling international
business-to-business communications by providing web-enabled global IP solutions, which increase efficiency and productivity,
open up new geographical markets and reduce distribution costs. These customised solutions, which create tight supply
chain integration and closer customer relationships for secure and effective operation in the new IP world, are delivered
and managed through ipulsys` unique Self Care System, ``interactive Customer Engagement`` (iCE). This Internet-based
customer interface provides customers with powerful self-care facilities for all ipulsys products, including automated
order entry, provisioning, performance and usage-based IP billing data as well as product information, network configuration
and future service developments.

According to Bates, ipulsys chose Siebel eCommunications because it represents the best-in-class eBusiness solution on the
market in terms of providing a comprehensive view of the entire customer relationship. The company was also impressed
by Siebel`s market-specific out-of-the-box functionality and ease-of-use: factors which enable the company to accelerate
application deployment and lower customization and maintenance costs.

Great Plains Siebel Front Office Enhanced for E-business

Significant, Customer-Driven Enhancements and Functionality Reflected in Release 6.0

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 2 /CNW/ - Great Plains (Nasdaq: GPSI - news) announced today the availability of
Great Plains Siebel Front Office 6.0, a comprehensive, Web-enabled and integrated customer relationship management
(CRM) solution for midmarket customers. Tightly integrated with Release 6.0 of Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise,
Release 6.0 showcases significant customer-driven e-business enhancements based on Siebel eBusiness, MidMarket
Edition. Great Plains Siebel Front Office 6.0 includes new e-business applications such as eCustomer and
eCampaigns, as well as enhancements to existing applications such as eChannel, Sales, Service and Call Center.
These enhancements, coupled with end-to-end integration to Great Plains` e-commerce and back office applications,
make it easier for customers to take advantage of the global e-business network.
"Great Plains` strategy is to seamlessly integrate our front office applications and our back office applications so that
we can provide an end-to- end view of the customer lifecycle," said Don Nelson, vice president and general manager
of the Front Office group at Great Plains. "With Release 6.0`s new functionality and tight integration to our back office
applications, we`re providing a distinct competitive advantage to customers, enabling them to take full advantage
of e-business."

Great Plains Siebel Front Office Release 6.0 Enhancements

Within the area of e-business, new solutions include eCustomer and eCampaigns. eCustomer combines e-commerce
sales and customer self-service through an integrated Web application for selling and servicing all customers. By
enabling customers to "buy direct" and access customer service via the Web at any time, customers can automate
time-consuming processes, allowing companies to increase customer satisfaction, improve service and lower costs.
With eCustomer, midsized organizations have a powerful, closed-loop solution for unassisted, interactive selling,
secure on-line ordering, and complete customer self-service, ensuring an integrated set of applications to meet a
wide range of customers` needs.

eCampaigns allows customers to create, execute and assess email and Web- based marketing campaigns. Marketers
can execute personalized marketing campaigns via e-mail for one-to-one marketing and content targeting. eCampaigns
tracks customer e-mail and Web responses, which allows marketers to understand the impact of their campaigns.

Enhancements have been made to virtually every major application within Great Plains Siebel Front Office. For
example, eChannel now includes the Siebel Personalization engine to ensure each partner gets information targeted
specifically to him or her. eChannel allows organizations to route leads, opportunities and service requests to channel
partners using configurable business rules and track their performance on all assigned items. Additionally, eMail
Response, an e-mail response management system, allows agents to respond to a high volume of incoming messages.
New template responses allow agents to communicate in a knowledgeable and consistent way.

Great Plains Siebel Front Office now features a new computer telephony solution, CTI Complete. CTI (Computer
Telephony Integration) Complete integrates with Great Plains Siebel Front Office data to let service professionals
know the customer history once the call is answered and before the first word is spoken, enabling them to be more
productive by increasing customers satisfaction while decreasing call times.

Great Plains Siebel Front Office Release 6.0 utilizes new technology from Great Plains that provides tight integration
between Great Plains Siebel Front Office and Great Plains` back office applications, Dynamics and eEnterprise, using
XML. The integration enables these applications to asynchronously exchange XML documents that represent a wide
range of business information. This information exchange provides value to both front and back office users allowing
them to share information in real-time using a reliable, secure and scalable environment. The integration effectively
builds an XML bridge between the front and back office applications using the latest Microsoft technologies within
an integration framework developed by Great Plains. For example, when using this integration a front office user is
able to query the current account status of a customer in the front office system and that query will reflect all of the
back office transactions.

Ceon Joins Siebel Alliance Program

Software Alliance Will Enable the Integration of Ceon It`s On with Siebel eCommunications to Provide Enhanced Order Management for Broadband Service Providers

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2000-- Ceon is Exhibiting in Booth No. 112 at TeleManagement World

Ceon Corporation, a leading provider of service and order management and flow-through provisioning software for broadband communications networks, today announced that it has joined the Siebel Alliance Program.

Siebel Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:SEBL - news) is the world`s leading provider of eBusiness applications software.

Ceon is scheduled to submit the completed integration to the Siebel Validation Program for evaluation.

The combined solution will facilitate ``one-touch,`` flow-through service and order provisioning to help broadband service providers produce complete, immediate and error-resistant provisioning for greater accountability and increased customer satisfaction. The integration of Ceon It`s On and Siebel eCommunications was demonstrated at Siebel Worldwide User Week last month, and will be shown again this week at TeleManagement World in Chicago. The demonstration highlights an order being captured in Siebel eCommunications and delivered seamlessly to the Ceon system for order decomposition, inventory assignment, provisioning, and activation.
