Chicago, IL - (December 12, 2006) - BigMachines, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand configuration and quoting software, announced today that AMICAS, a leader in radiology and medical image and information management solutions, has selected the BigMachines CPP (Configure, Price, Propose) solution through the salesforce.com AppExchange.

AMICAS (NASD: AMCS) provides medical image and information management products and renowned professional services to help healthcare organizations better manage the transition to emerging digital imaging technologies.
"Few competitors could provide an integrated inquiry-to-order solution that could manage our complex products, services, and pricing configurations - and allow us to respond to our customers with quick turnaround on high-quality quotes," said Rodney Hawkins, VP of Product Management at AMICAS. "By guiding our sales team through the quoting and proposal process using a series of questions and configuration options, BigMachines will greatly increase our sales efficiency and order accuracy.
