FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ZCE Standardizes on Siebel eEnergy 7

Czech Republic's Leading Energy Provider Uses Industry-Tailored CRM Solution to Enhance Customer Care, Increase Customer Loyalty, Maximize Sales Effectiveness, and Streamline Partner Management

SAN MATEO, CA., June 19, 2002 - Siebel Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEBL), the world's leading provider of eBusiness applications, today announced that Západočeská Energetika A.S. (ZCE), one of the Czech Republic's leading energy companies, has standardized on Siebel eEnergy 7, a comprehensive suite of eBusiness applications that enables energy service providers to manage sales, marketing, and customer service across all communication channels and points of customer contact. ZCE is using the software's prebuilt, tailored functionality to develop a complete 360-degree understanding of its customers. It will use this enhanced customer and market insight to improve its quality of customer care, increase customer loyalty, maximize sales effectiveness, and streamline partner management.

ZCE is transforming its business operations in anticipation of the energy market liberalization in the Czech Republic. To strengthen its position in the electricity market, the company has introduced a new brand-NOVÁ ENERGIE-to provide customers with high-quality, price-competitive energy products and services. Through its Siebel eEnergy 7 implementation, the company united its customer, product, and billing information to effectively understand and satisfy customer needs. Prior to its Siebel Systems deployment, ZCE faced a major challenge in integrating numerous, fragmented customer information silos.

Working in collaboration with Siebel Consulting Partner and systems integration specialist Soluziona, ZCE is implementing Siebel eEnergy 7 Sales, Siebel eEnergy 7 Call Center, Siebel eEnergy 7 Service, Siebel eEnergy 7 PRM, and Siebel eEnergy 7 eCustomer. This powerful blend of Siebel eEnergy 7 modules enables the company to develop a single, unified view of its customers across multiple channels, including the Internet, face-to-face contact, the telephone, and its network of service delivery partners.

ZCE will use its comprehensive customer insight to effectively manage customer acquisition, retention, and churn management; streamline the management of complex sales contracts; and effectively capture, validate, and manage accurate service orders. The Siebel solution supports ZCE's complex service account and billing hierarchies, and it delivers efficient management of and collaboration with the company's national network of service partners. Siebel Systems' interactive, zero-footprint Web-based application also accelerates integration with ZCE's bespoke billing and back office systems to deliver competitive advantage through rapid service activation at a dramatically lower risk. Siebel eBusiness Applications will provide the flexible front office capabilities needed to expand ZCE's product offerings in the increasingly competitive market.

"To remain competitive in the new open market for energy solutions in the Czech Republic, ZCE must strive to deliver reliable, first-class service at a competitive price," says Miroslav Kucera, Director of Customer Care, ZCE. "Using the industry-tailored functionality of Siebel eEnergy 7, ZCE is rapidly emerging as an efficient, customer-centric organization, focused on effective customer acquisition, service, and retention."

ZCE is one of the Czech Republic's leading energy companies. It generates, distributes, and markets power supplies to 500,000 customers in the Plzeň and Karlovy Vary regions of the country and manages seven percent of the total market for electricity supplies in the Czech Republic.
