Burlington, MA — October 11, 2007 — Emptoris Inc., a provider of enterprise supply and contract management software, has announced the release of Emptoris 7, the company's supply and contract management software suite.

Emptoris 7 is a single-platform software suite that allows companies to scale from basic to enterprise usage without switching solution platforms or underlining technology. Emptoris 7 includes solutions for contract management, sourcing, spend analysis and compliance, as well as an expanded supplier performance management solution.

"Companies new to supply and contract management want a quick on ramp and the flexibility to grow and eventually take on more advanced capabilities," said Avner Schneur, president and CEO of Emptoris Inc. "Emptoris 7 provides the industry's only single-platform, scalable software suite that allows companies to get up and running quickly and grow to meet their needs without the disruption that comes when switching platforms to gain additional capabilities."

With the unveiling of Emptoris 7, the company also introduced new on-ramp offerings for companies interested in its Sourcing, Contracts and Spend Analysis solutions. Emptoris Basic provides basic solution capabilities and fast deployment options to get companies up and running with immediate value. This solution is delivered as a service (SaaS). Emptoris Professional expands the capabilities and services for companies moving to the next level of supply and contract management. This solution is also delivered as a service (SaaS). Emptoris Enterprise provides capabilities for companies looking to take their supply and contract management programs to the highest levels of value. This solution is available as either a service (SaaS) or deployed on-premise.

Schneur said that with this clear growth path, companies can start with a simple service offering, and later switch on additional capabilities — or even take their solution in-house. All Emptoris offerings use the exact same software code base, so customers can expand from Emptoris Basic to Emptoris Professional and on to Emptoris Enterprise as their needs grow.
