COMPUTERWORLD MAGAZINE PUTS TALISMA ON TOP 100 EMERGING COMPANIES LIST FOR 2001


KIRKLAND, WA (November 15, 2000) – Talisma -- full-service provider of powerful and easy-to-use electronic customer relationship management (eCRM) solutions -- today announced that it has been chosen for Computerworld Magazine’s list of the top 100 Emerging Companies to Watch for 2001.

“We are honored to be recognized by Computerworld,” said Pradeep Singh, Talisma founder and CEO.  “It’s tremendously gratifying to receive this kind of validation of our products, services and business model from the select group of leading industry CIOs and analysts that made up the magazine’s panel of judges."

To make the list, Talisma was evaluated by a group of industry influencers – senior level executives who are both providers and users of IT – and judged on whether:  

·       The company and its technology offer demonstrable value to corporate IT operations in Fortune 1000; the product or service addresses problems or challenges that IT managers face.
·       The company is innovative; the product or service presents a new and creative approach to an IT issue and competes in a relatively new or emerging market.
·       The company demonstrates positive signs of an ability to execute its strategy (revenue, revenue growth, funding, management team).

Talisma’s high scores in each of these areas won it a place on the list in the Customer Relationship Management category.  The list was published in the magazine’s November 13, 2000 issue.
