scanR Business Card Scanner Service Now Available on Salesforce.com's AppExchange

PALO ALTO, Calif., and SAN FRANCISCO — September 25, 2006 — scanR, which enables camera phones and digital cameras to scan, copy and fax, and salesforce.com [NYSE:CRM], the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced the availability of scanR for salesforce.com's AppExchange. scanR for AppExchange makes it easier for customers of all sizes to enter and manage contact information and leads in the Salesforce suite of on-demand applications. Using scanR for AppExchange, salesforce.com customers will be able simply to snap a photo of a business card, send it to scanR and automatically get the contact information uploaded and synchronized into their Salesforce service. scanR for AppExchange is immediately available at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange and is free to use during the introductory period. scanR Business Cards was launched today during the DEMOfall 06 conference.

Studies indicate it takes approximately 90 seconds to type manually the information from one business card into an electronic contact manager. Because it is a tedious chore, business cards containing highly valuable contact information remain inaccessible and disorganized, buried at the bottom of briefcases and desk drawers. scanR solves this problem by enabling easy electronic capture, viewing, organization and sharing of business contact information using a device which people already carry with them — a camera phone or digital camera.

"The scanR Business Card service is the world's most accurate business card scanner, yet it works with just your camera or camera phone," said Andrew Laszlo, President and Co-Founder of scanR. "Combining high accuracy and low cost, scanR is an excellent fit for salesforce.com customers, whose success is dependent on accurately capturing and managing contact information and sales leads."

"For salesforce.com customers seeking to harness the value of contact information, scanR for AppExchange is an ideal solution," said Matt Holleran, vice president, AppExchange partners, salesforce.com. "With scanR, salesforce.com customers can easily capture contact information from business cards without having to type the information manually. Once captured, the information is then seamlessly synchronized and organized within Salesforce."

scanR for AppExchange is one of more than 300 applications created by salesforce.com, its customers and partners that are now available on the salesforce.com AppExchange, the world's first on-demand application platform. AppExchange provides unprecedented ease of customization and integration for Salesforce deployments, as well as enabling a whole new generation of on demand applications that go beyond CRM. AppExchange enables all of these on-demand applications to be easily shared, exchanged and installed with one click into a salesforce.com customer's account.
