Baan Company Chooses Portera's Web-Hosted Suite in Multi-Million Dollar Global Services Agreement; Four-Year Deal Marks Coming Of Age of ASPs and Launch of Baan's E-Services Portfolio November 04, 1999 CAMPBELL, Calif., Nov 4, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Portera (www.Portera.com), the leading provider of Web-based business services for the $1.2 trillion professional services industry, today announced that it will provide the software infrastructure, including a complete Web-hosted application suite, for the Services Division of Baan Company N.V. (Nasdaq: BAANF; Amsterdam: BAAN), a global provider of enterprise software. Baan Services will implement ServicePort, Portera's Web-hosted professional services automation suite, on a global basis - linking all 1700 consultants and subcontractors, as well as customers, into a collaborative work environment - with an immediate rollout plan. This streamlining of consulting business processes will result in measurably superior communication between Baan consultants, clients and third party partners resulting in time-savings and improvements in efficiency for all involved. Baan's implementation partners will be able to adopt Portera's services to improve collaboration on external client projects. The use of Portera's Web-hosted solution marks a new and innovative approach to project management and information sharing in a major global consultancy and will result in a more agile and responsive services group within Baan. Andrew Nash, Executive Vice President, Services at Baan, said: "Unlike our competitors, we're actually walking the talk - we're using Web-hosted applications ourselves to run our own business. Portera is providing what the consulting industry has needed for years - applications provided as a service and specifically tailored for consultants. Portera has put significant thought and effort into producing applications and services to help improve communication, increase efficiency and, ultimately, manage the bottom line in consulting firms. We reviewed market offerings and Portera came out far ahead with its comprehensive solution and vision. Baan and Portera are blazing a trail together-we are sure that Baan's first-to-market position will give us a measurable lead over our competitors in terms of the service we provide and the end results."
