| | IBM, Siebel Step Up UAN Effort |
 | | UAN is a standards-based approach to the design and development of business process applications. |
 | | It's comprised of three basic components: A library of pre-built business processes, common object models and transformation maps; a business process design tool for modeling and configuring the business process flows, common object models and transformation maps; and an integration server that coordinates inter-application communication. |
 | | As the first end user of UAN, Siebel will use IBM WebSphere Business Integration to optimize the execution of its own sales, marketing, and service business processes, replacing its current homegrown point-to-point integration software. |
