The Sant Corporation Releases Sant Suite 7.2

New Version Includes Enhancements to PresentationBuilder and a New ProSearch Toolbar

CINCINNATI; November 15, 2005... The Sant Corporation, a world leader in proposal and sales document automation software, today announces the release of Sant Suite^TM 7.2. The new version contains powerful improvements to the PresentationBuilder^TM application enabling customers to quickly and easily create sophisticated PowerPoint presentations and pitchbooks. Sant Suite 7.2 also includes a new ProSearch^TM Toolbar for customers who choose to search their Sant Suite database directly within Microsoft^® Office Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, or any other application.

Sant Suite consists of four applications seamlessly integrated into one product: ProposalMaster^TM, RFPMaster^TM, PresentationBuilder^TM, and ProSearch^TM. The majority of new features in Sant Suite 7.2 apply to PresentationBuilder and ProSearch.

PresentationBuilder stores PowerPoint slides in a central database globally accessible to users. Major enhancements to PresentationBuilder include the following abilities:

• Guide the user through a series of intuitive screens, automatically select the appropriate slides, and assemble them in a correct order for a complete presentation.
• Users can select information (customer needs, industry, products, etc.) that is automatically merged as content into a slide. This ultimately leads to highly customized presentations for each opportunity.
• Rapidly search the database for individual slides or sets of slides.

PresentationBuilder ensures all presentations contain accurate, approved content with a consistent look and feel.

The new ProSearch Toolbar is an application that connects to Word, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer, or any other program. It’s a fast way to search the Sant Suite database for answers to common questions. Users simply highlight the question in their document, choose from four search options, and insert the answer into the connected document or file. Customers typically use ProSearch when responding to Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Information (RFIs), questions received via email, and much more.

Sant conducted a series of customer focus groups to capture requirements and validate designs for Sant Suite 7.2. “Our customers are the most important part of our product development process,” said Brian Vass, Vice President, Marketing, The Sant Corporation. “We engage our customers throughout the development process through focus groups, surveys, phone interviews, and interaction with our technical support team. Our products and services are focused on customer needs and deliver quantifiable business value.”

Vass also believes Sant Suite 7.2 provides the company a significant competitive advantage. “This new version widens the gap between Sant Suite and other products in the sales effectiveness marketplace. Businesses want a product suite that is highly integrated, shares a common user interface and database, doesn’t require software on the desktop, highly configurable using built-in tools, facilitates collaboration, and scalable to thousands of users. Sant Suite 7.2 is the only application that can meet these essential requirements.”
