If the terms ERP (enterprise resource planning), CRM (customer relationship management) and CMS (content management systems) are new or unknown to you, you won’t want to miss our meeting this month. Mr. Hennings’ firm, one that began in 1996, has jumped feet first into the e-commerce fray and developed a philosophy and the tools to help small and mid-sized businesses compete with the big guys—on-line! By being able to help suppliers and buyers through the sales process by providing accurate and consistent information via a Unified Data Model, a company can benefit from the first complete B2B sell-side eCommerce platform. Named– Orders of Magnitude, a comprehensive, modular “eCommerce-in-a-box” platform that firms can use to get to any new market in 30 days or less. In addition a company could bring any part of the sales process to the Web within 90 days. Virtually every aspect of the selling process is provided for with nine modules available on an as needed/individual basis, from the presentation of product information, to sales, order management, support and sales analysis. Those modules are: eXchange Connect; eProducts; eMarketing; eQuotes; eAuctions; eBilling/Payments; eOrder Management; eFulfillment Tracking and eAnalytics. Forrester Research predicts business to business eCommerce to amount to $6.3 trillion by 2004, which in turn is increasing the demand for B2B eCommerce software. Dataquest predicts that demand to amount to $28 billion by next year. Of that 60% will be for sell-side platforms. Picture the way the world will look 15 years from now. A world where the buying experience is a low-stress, satisfying experience where the seller can engage the buyer by any means, human or electronic, while the actual fulfillment meets or exceeds any promises the seller made, implicitly or explicitly. We invite you to learn more about this burgeoning aspect of what we will all need to contend with now and in the immediate future as eCommerce becomes an increasingly larger factor in our lives. |
