SAP Adopts CubeTree`s Social Software Solution

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
CubeTree, a provider of enterprise social software, today announced that SAP®
has deployed CubeTree`s solution, which combines social networking technology
with enterprise security and management to help organizations innovate better
and bring products to market faster. CubeTree gives SAP employees an environment
to connect, share information and explore ideas. Deployed in late 2008 within a
small workgroup at SAP Labs U.S. in Palo Alto, Calif., CubeTree has achieved
substantial viral growth within SAP and is now used by more than 2,000 employees
in locations worldwide.

"The market looks to SAP as an innovator and thought leader in driving business
transformation through technology," said David Meyer, vice president, Product
Management for Emerging Technologies, SAP® BusinessObjects™ division. "Social
networks are transforming how people communicate in their personal lives. We
adopted CubeTree`s enterprise social software to bring the same network effect
into the enterprise, connecting people and ideas across the company to
accelerate our business."

SAP is using CubeTree to enable communication within a secure environment, so
that SAP employees can:

* Share ideas across their organization;
* Get feedback from people outside their department and geographic location;
* Find thought leaders in particular areas; and
* Form ad hoc groups that cut across organizational boundaries.

"We are very pleased that SAP is adopting CubeTree and utilizing the potential
of social software within the enterprise," said Carlin Wiegner, chief executive
officer and co-founder of CubeTree. "Hierarchies often stifle innovation, and
lock out information and insights vital to good decision making and effective
execution. CubeTree`s social software has the power to change the way companies
work, helping companies overcome these challenges by giving everyone a voice and
enabling anyone to critique or improve on an idea. As a result, the best ideas
are identified quickly and easily, allowing for better innovation and
accelerated product delivery."
