GLOBAL CRM VAR NETWORK SELECTS ACCPAC CRM

Consortium of CRM-focused Value Added Resellers Adds
Award-Winning ACCPAC CRM for On-Premises and Online Deployment

PLEASANTON, Calif., November 19, 2003 - ACCPAC International, Inc., a subsidiary of Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA), announced today that CRMworldclass LLC, a global consortium of CRM-focused value-added resellers (VARs) with more than twenty offices has selected ACCPAC CRM™ as the principal CRM offering for their business clients. CRMworldclass selected ACCPAC CRM because of its Web and wireless architecture, out-of-the-box integration with other business management applications, choice of hosted and on-premises deployment options, and comprehensive functionality that spans sales force, marketing, and customer care automation.

Computer Control Corporation, one of the founding members of CRMworldclass, helps clients establish and sustain business relationships powered by technology. With thousands of clients worldwide, the firm is one of the largest resellers, developers and installers of sales force automation (SFA) and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions in the United States. Founder Joel Scott, author of GoldMine for Dummies and co-author of Microsoft® CRM for Dummies is President of CRMworldclass, and is considered one of a handful of global experts on CRM for small and medium-size businesses.

“As part of a worldwide coalition of CRM dealers, we have spent the past three years searching for the CRM product and vendor that can become our new flagship offering,” said Joel Scott, President of CRMworldclass. “ACCPAC CRM brings us together with "next generation" software, and a vendor with the strength and commitment to support its software and its dealers. Already, ten CRMworldclass sites have begun actively implementing ACCPAC CRM.”

ACCPAC CRM provides businesses with Web and wireless based CRM functionality that offers freedom of choice in deployment, databases, and integration. It provides hosted and on-premise sales force, marketing and client care automation, and runs with IBM DB2®, MS SQL, Oracle®, and Sybase® databases.
Its bi-directional integration with ACCPAC Advantage Series™ and ACCPAC Pro Series™ accounting systems gives businesses real-time access to critical back office data from within the CRM system. Innovative integration with Microsoft® Outlook® allows full access to CRM information from within Outlook. Advanced customization is easily managed with built in customization wizards.

“ACCPAC CRM is built to provide businesses with full CRM functionality and the integration options they need to realize the full benefits of CRM in an organization,” said Kerry Lemos, Vice President, North American Channel Sales with ACCPAC. “A critical part of achieving those benefits is the expertise of CRM-focused organizations like CRMworldclass that can quickly tailor ACCPAC CRM to the particular needs of a business.
