Touch targets SME

Open source solutions provider Touch Solutions is ready to provide Oracle Enterprise Linux solutions even to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with 50 computers and a server or two, reports BusinessMirror.

These software offerings allow enough flexibility so users can blend proprietary software such as the Microsoft Windows operating systems and programs that run on Windows, with open source Oracle applications and software based on the free Linux operating system software.

In addition to current open source, users such as those in the telecommunications, banking and finance and government sectors, Touch Solution is positioning its products for the SME market.

To assist SMEs implementing unified communications (UC) plans in 2009, Cypress Communications reportedly has introduced a so-called “UC Bailout Plan”, according to TMCnet.

In most parts of the US, companies are looking to replace old key systems and upgrade data capacity. But the current economic situation is not allowing them to spend a fortune on this.

Even though new IP phones are preferred in place of old phones, many companies are thinking of postponing their UC plans to a later date.

IntelliTrack, a North American provider of SME solutions for inventory and asset management, continues to expand localised sales and implementation services for IntelliTrack Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) by partnering with Quest Integrated Solutions, reports MoreRFID.

"Quest can do what IntelliTrack cannot and that is to provide face-to-face service for IntelliTrack customers," says Will Daniel, COO of IntelliTrack.

"They can be there before, during and after the WMS implementation and this high level of customer service is a real value to our SME end-users."
