In Line With the Smarter Planet Concept IBM Supports the Software and Consulting Company

STUTTGART, Germany, May 2, 2011 - The software and consulting company BizSphere became the latest member of
the IBM Global Entrepreneur initiative. With this program IBM and partners
help the 'next generation of entrepreneurs', who develop software based
innovations to capture emerging business opportunities. As part of the IBM
Smarter Planet program the global campaign started last year in the United
States
and 2011 in Germany. The IBM Smarter Planet agenda develops
intelligent and environment-friendly solutions. IBM Global Entrepreneur
members receive no-charge access to IBM's software portfolio and support from
IBM experts. Selected companies also have the opportunity to benefit from the
IBM network of decision makers in industry, government, research and
development.

"With its innovative knowledge management solution for sales optimization
BizSphere is an excellent candidate for our initiative which aims to identify
and integrate solutions that help solving today`s challenges in the context
of IBM's vision of a Smarter Planet", said Wieland Köbler, Leader Global
Entrepreneur Deutschland and Director ISV Sales and Development at IBM. "We
are very proud that we have been selected to the IBM Global Entrepreneur
initiative. Our solution structures and manages information in an
'intelligent way', and adds additional value to the data by placing content
in the right context", states Jochen Moll, CEO at BizSphere. "The BizSphere
Sales Enablement platform is used for sales optimization. Existing web
portals, fileserver, CM, CRM and DM systems can be integrated and
consolidated within the BizSphere Solution."

In Germany the initiative was kicked-off at CeBIT 2011 in Hannover. Up to
now, five companies, specialized in e-Commerce, event and fundraising,
process management, marketing and communication asset management as well as
knowledge management have been selected. Launch partners in Germany are, for
example, the Venture Capital companies Wellington Partners and Earlybird.
