Press Release Summary = Initial AppExchange products address sales quoting and
PayPal donation integration needs for salesforce.com customers

Press Release Body = Southborough, MA and SAN FRANCISCO, salesforce.com Dreamforce
Conference - October 9, 2006 - Theikos, Inc., an IT consultancy and leading
salesforce.com services partner, today announced the creation of a new product
division: AppFactor On-Demand Solutions (www.appfactor.com). This division is
focused on creating applications for distribution on salesforce.com's AppExchange
directory that enable companies to manage more and more of their processes on demand
with the Salesforce service. The AppFactor products are sold as on-demand
subscriptions, providing easy online access to necessary functionality without IT
infrastructure headaches.

In coordination with the introduction of the new division, AppFactor On-Demand
Solutions is launching a public beta program for its first two products - AppFactor
Quoting and AppFactor Payments for the AppExchange at the salesforce.com Dreamforce
2006 user and developer conference.

"The creation of our products division was a natural outgrowth of our consulting
business," says Jason Masciarelli, President of Theikos. "After working with
hundreds of clients and completing Salesforce implementation engagements of all
kinds, we have identified both specific and common needs in the marketplace. Some of
these needs can be addressed by repeatable, productized solutions."

"Our clients include small to mid-sized companies, divisions of large companies, and
non-profit organizations," says Andy Zimmerman, senior vice president of sales and
marketing, Theikos. "The AppFactor products are geared toward this market and
include repeatable, on-demand solutions that are functionally rich, easy to deploy,
and cost-effective to procure."

The AppFactor On-Demand Solutions division includes a team of engineering and
customer service resources devoted to developing and supporting products that
address the frequent needs of companies using Salesforce.

AppFactor Quoting
AppFactor Quoting for AppExchange is a wizard-like tool that allows Salesforce users
to create professional looking quotes with consistency and accuracy. It is easy to
use, has built-in product selection and discounting capabilities, and enables
seamless creation of PDF quotes. The 3-step wizard is launched via a Web-link within
a Salesforce Opportunity record. The AppFactor Quoting product is the result of
Theikos' years of experience building and implementing custom quoting solutions. For

AppFactor Payments PayPal Donation Integration
To meet the needs of a growing subset of non-profit clients, the AppFactor Payments
solution changes a once labor-intensive manual data entry task into an automated,
real-time process. With this subscription, non-profits will be able to have
electronic donation notifications from PayPal translated and mapped directly into
their instance of Salesforce. This eliminates the possibility of keying errors, and
allows them to have accurate, up-to-date donation information in Salesforce that can
be reported on at any time. Corporate clients will soon be able to use a version of
AppFactor Payments for processing online business-to-business and
business-to-consumer transactions. For more information visit

"Theikos' work is an example of excellence in development for AppExchange," said
Matt Holleran, vice president, AppExchange partners, salesforce.com. "Salesforce.com
is pleased to have our long-time partner expand its business with the addition of an
on-demand products division focused on the AppExchange."

More than 375 applications are now available on the salesforce.com AppExchange, the
world's first on-demand directory and sharing service, found at
http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange.
