Short Take: Siebel, IBM bundle apps, DB2

Front office software maker Siebel Systems and IBM are working together to deliver out-of-the-box integration between IBM's DB2 Universal Database and Siebel's customer relationship management applications. Siebel will prepackage and ship DB2 with its sales, marketing, and customer service applications. Siebel applications and DB2 purchased together will cost less than if bought separately.
