SAN FRANCISCO - salesforce.com Dreamforce Conference, October 9, 2006-Municipal Software (TSX-V:MSZ) a provider of business process automation solutions for local government and salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced the availability of Local Government Manager for salesforce.com's AppExchange.

Local Government Manager for AppExchange is a native salesforce.com application that automates and manages the traditionally time-consuming permitting and inspections process. It is both configurable and customizable, comes with a number of standard reports and relies heavily on standard Salesforce objects such as contacts and activities. Cloudbench Applications's Local Government Manager also uses the Salesforce dashboard to easily identify status or problems within the permitting function.

By partnering with the on-demand industry leader salesforce.com on the AppExchange, we can now offer new options to municipalities who are looking for easy to implement solutions to automate their core processes in a way that makes sense for them," said Iain McLean, chief executive officer for Municipal Software.
