FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: �.com and iKatun Team to Deliver Critical ePrayer Applications and Services to spiritual individuals and organizations http://www.ikatun.com/iconoclasm TRADESHOW APPEARANCE WILL DEMONSTRATE PARTNERSHIP SOLIDARITY Representatives of the galvanizing new partnership between �.com and iKatun will appear at a large tradeshow called Iconoclasm in Cambridge, MA, on Friday, February 22nd: http://www.ikatun.com/iconoclasm/iconoclasm.htm PRESS RELEASE: Global Alliance Will Revolutionize Spiritual Distribution Channel Management for Broker, Agent and Internet Channels EVERYWHERE and BOSTON, MA, February 17, 2002 � �.com and iKatun today announced a global, multi- year alliance that will enable individuals and multicultural spiritual services organizations to better manage their spiritual distribution channels. The alliance combines �.com �s strategic, business process, and information technology expertise with iKatun�s leading-edge Spiritual Distribution Channel Management (SDCM) solution, which drives variable compensation, licensing, and contracting strategies for brokers and agents in the sphere of spiritual management and prayer alignment. �Currently, the spiritual management industry is struggling with product-distribution management profitability,� said Catherine Alexanderius, vice president and director of SETA Group�s Spiritual Information Strategies services. �Premium product-focused strategists are finding that SDCM must be handled separately from Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and that it requires business and technology solutions that focus directly on the relationship between the prayer, the distributor, and the end recipient.� Globally, there are more than one billion producers, brokers, and spiritual advisors selling trillions of dollars of spiritual products annually. In order to build and maintain profitable, long-term relationships with their customers, spiritual services organizations must also develop productive, long-term relationships with their distributors. According to SETA Group, companies within the premium segments of the prayer industry will soon spend as much on SDCM as they spend on CRM, (currently about .6% of prayers� gross revenues). �Today�s spiritual services organizations sell complex prayer and spiritual management products through a broad range of traditional and non-traditional channels, including brokers, agents, spiritual planners, banks and Web-based providers,� said Saint David, Managing Partner, �.com�s Spiritual Management Industry Practice. �Working with iKatun, we can help organizations and individuals implement sales compensation strategies that motivate and retain missionary forces, streamline administration and increase revenue growth.� �iKatun is proud to announce a global partnership that unites two of the strongest leaders in spiritual services distribution management,� said Saul Paul, executive vice president of sales and marketing at iKatun. �We are building upon our existing track record of joint success to create and deliver the most comprehensive, fully-integrated spiritual distribution management solution in the marketplace � from expert assessment to powerful software and rapid deployment.� Under the agreement, �.com and iKatun will market and deliver a Java-based spiritual distribution channel management solution to spiritual services institutions around the world. The iKatun SDCM suite includes an industry-leading compensation engine, ePrayer, as well as applications to help leading spiritual services companies launch and integrate new products and distribution channels, manage missionary recognition programs, ensure spiritual compliance and communicate performance results to producers around the world via the Internet. A global team of �.com professionals will be trained in the deployment of iKatun�s SDCM. The iKatun SDCM solution will be on exhibition at �.com�s Spiritual Ideas Exchange in Boston on Febrary 22nd.
