Enron NetWorks announces the launch of DealBench

DealBench

Enron Net Works' newest initiative is now online!

The Product
DealBenchTM is an online platform that enables licensing companies to arrange
and execute transactions efficiently and effectively. Companies that
license DealBenchTM are able to organize their transaction materials, upload
documents and other materials to a secure website, invite deal participants
to view deal materials, host various types of online auctions and manage,
track and close a transaction online.
DealBenchTM incorporates five specific business tools that streamline the
transaction process for licensees:
Document Sharing: deal-related materials in various formats (Word,
Powerpoint, Excel, CAD drawings, digital pictures, etc.) can be uploaded
for deal participants to view and/or edit.

Auctioning/Bidding: licensees can design and monitor (in real-time) forward
or reverse auctions and collect sealed tender bids.

Multi-media: customers can present high quality virtual road shows and
asset descriptions using streaming video.

Secure Communication: DealLineTM messaging system facilitates one-to-one,
one-to-many, and many-to-many communication.

Deal Management: DealNotesTM enables customers to monitor the progress of
their deals using statistics on user downloads, bidding/auction results
and user page views.

Applications
DealBenchTM has been used by Enron during bank product syndications, the sale
of a large portfolio of leases, and the procurement of certain materials for
the new headquarters building. Soon, DealBenchTM will also meet the
collaboration needs of Enron attorneys, facilitate online RFQs and provide
for the hosting of online datarooms.

platform is available to be licensed externally, please forward new business
development leads to members of the DealBenchTM team.
