Webridge`s advanced, pre-built ebusiness infrastructure suites now available through leading customer/partner relationship management specialist: solutions enable ultra-rapid deployment, lower costs.
Webridge, a leading provider of enterprise ebusiness solutions, has appointed specialist integrator iLAB CRM as reseller partner in South Africa. iLAB CRM will deliver and deploy Webridge`s range of pre-built software applications which address the complex, collaborative needs of companies doing business online.
Webridge`s key product, Private Exchange, is claimed to enable site deployment in just 30 to 90 days with minimal programming, and at significantly lower cost compared with custom application development. The winner of "Best Collaboration Solution" in the 2000 Industry Awards by Microsoft, Corp., Private Exchange helps businesses work more efficiently by enabling them to conduct and transact "real world" business processes online. This makes it easier to collaborate with, sell to, market to and service customers and strategic partners.
iLAB CRM will also handle Webridge`s entry-level, shrink-wrapped Knowledge Management solution. It gives rich communication and collaboration functionality straight out of the box, with minimal customer programming. This means rapid deployment - claimed to be within 6 weeks of order - and a fast return on investment.
Simon Cohen, Webridge Product Manger of iLAB CRM: "With Webridge, we will offer packaged e-business solutions which slash the deployment time of complex online business environments, but provide the scalability, enhanced security, data integrity and advanced personalisation techniques needed for collaborative online interactions. Together we can help companies transition their business to the web easily and quickly."
"Webridge`s ability to deliver sophisticated commerce solutions in 30-90 days is critical to moving more businesses to the Web. And their innovative, scalable architecture is key to providing customers with solutions that can change in real-time. Webridge customers can be sure of building their businesses on a reliable, flexible platform that ensures low cost of ownership and continued technology advancement," said David Marcus of Microsoft SA.
Gregory Darmohray, Webridge Director of Europe, said: "Companies need to quickly establish sophisticated online applications to manage their existing business processes - and waiting a year to build it themselves, or to integrate a patchwork solution from a range of vendors isn`t an option. Together with iLAB CRM, we will deliver advanced solutions with unprecedented speed and at a lower cost than has been previously possible."

Webridge Private Exchange
Webridge`s Private Exchange foundation site provides an end-user configurable web canvas that automatically and dynamically manages security, site search, personalisation and navigational access for each mini-exchange. It also includes a number of optional pre-built exchange applications that can be positioned on the web canvas. These applications include secure document exchange, productive collaboration, lead management, custom product catalogues, shared online calendars, online training, and discussion forums. In each mini-exchange, the components are fully integrated with the underlying security model, so users access only the content, products, transactions and services that they are authorised to see.
