Sell-side e-business solutions company Intershop has released details of Intershop Enfinity 2, the next generation of its sell-side application for global enterprises. Intershop Enfinity 2 is designed to enable companies to sell through multiple, complex sales channels and capitalise on Internet selling opportunities. "Intershop Enfinity 2 can be quickly implemented and easily integrated into other systems, both internal and external, including other businesses, hubs, marketplaces and exchanges," says Jacqui van Zyl, marketing manager of Intershop in South Africa. "Intershop Enfinity 2 supports multiple commerce solutions, enabling companies to sell direct, through distributors and marketplaces, and integrate with brick and mortar operations."
Van Zyl claims that Intershop Enfinity 2 is the only packaged sell-side application for global enterprises, enabling companies to operate in multiple international formats. "With Enfinity 2, Intershop offers the only sell-side application that can be quickly deployed and easily customised, for fast time to market and fast time to profit," she says. "Most companies sell through multi-tiered channels, with complex processes. Intershop Enfinity 2 is designed to help companies manage this complexity, adapt to unexpected market shifts, keep pace with growing business needs, and address new business opportunities and emerging channels."
The new version ramps up support of high volumes of traffic, transactions and users. It will provide pre-packaged integrations that connect Intershop Enfinity 2 with Commerce One MarketSite and SAP R/3. Pre-packaged integrations with Oracle, PeopleSoft and Siebel products are currently under development. Template-based sell-side models are included for rapid development. Catalogue syndication and management, single-point reporting and analysis and a user-friendly graphical interface have all been boosted.
Intershop Enfinity 2 is available on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Sun Solaris 2.6, and HP-UX.
