MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2004--I-many, the leading provider of advanced business solutions for managing corporate commitments, announced at its annual user conference a partnership with EPAM Systems. EPAM is the leading software services provider with advanced development centers in Eastern Europe -- providing services for "Certified for NetWeaver(TM)" and "Powered by NetWeaver(TM)" statuses.

Over 280 global corporations use I-many solutions to comprehensively manage any type of commitment from contracts and obligations to payments and collections. I-many has significant experience with successful SAP integrations into its product lines but intends to more tightly align to SAP's NetWeaver capabilities.

"Because the majority of I-many's current customers utilize SAP, it is critical that our solutions integrate as deeply as possible with SAP," stated Leonard Rainow, Senior Vice President of Products and Chief Technology Officer for I-many. "This commitment will ensure that I-many customers will realize even simpler integration, greater flexibility to run their business and allow them to better align IT resources to recognize the full benefits of I-many solutions working in conjunction with SAP."

To officially certify integration with its products, I-many is addressing two SAP NetWeaver(TM) programs. "Certified for SAP NetWeaver(TM)" is awarded to products that feature integration with an SAP NetWeaver component and enhance SAP NetWeaver functionality. "Powered by SAP NetWeaver(TM)" status requires a more demanding certification and is for applications that additionally enable convenient deployment of Java or ABAP applications on SAP Web Application Server.

"I-many has chosen EPAM Systems for this project based on EPAM's 300,000 + hours of experience in delivering NetWeaver and related technologies," commented Terry Nicholson, Chief Operating Officer of I-many. "EPAM, an official SAP technology and service partner, has been closely collaborating with SAP for over seven years, with the main focus on NetWeaver(TM) and xApps(TM) development over the last two years.

"EPAM recognizes I-many's leadership and vision, particularly in aggressively pursuing the deeper 'Powered by NetWeaver' certification," acknowledged Arkadiy Dobkin, Chief Executive Officer of EPAM. "We look forward to working with I-many's internal architecture and development team to further develop I-many's solutions in this area."
