Trends in e-Commerce Solutions

e-Commerce is also evolving as the market tightens in tough economy, shopping cart vendors need to evolve with newer technologies or integrate with 3rd party vendors or simply enough have to create interfaces for smart phone such as iPhone and Android, add social networking features and keep its ever growing customer base engaged in the market.

There has been 2 new developments in the field of e-Commerce:

Firstly Interprise Suite or Interprise Solutions are engaging themselves as pioneer integrated e-Commerce solution provider and will be launching the new e-Commerce plus edition of their ERP software which will allow customers to use the software and be able to scale their online business  with much easy and then eventually upgrade to licensed versions.

Secondly Aspdotnet Storefront one of the best .Net framework with 10000 customers was recently acquired by Vortx, for those who have not heard Vortx they use to be Dev Net partners with Aspdotnet Storefront and they liked the software so much they ended up acquiring them, it makes all the sense as they have developed the next generation mobile shopping solution using Aspdotnet storefront for smart phones.

Interestingly InterpriseSolutions e-Commerce (ISE) is also built on same .Net source code and Vortx wld be targeting Interprise customers to provide their cutting edge solution.

Customer Satisfaction, Interprise Suite's New Mantra

Having heard lots of negative comments over forums and discussion boards by few customers who are un-happy with Interprise Suite, either a) their expectation was too high or b) they were not able to use the product correctly...There is no product out there which is bug-free.

It's good to hear positive comments from customers, customers usually don't comment but very few do and we appreciate it, here is one such email that hit our inbox appreciating the IS team and thought of sharing...

"Thanks for your time and as I said to Curt yesterday that I like the new Interprise team. Proactive, responsive and can actually talk, understand and resolve. Hope you guys keep it that way.

Regards
Alok - Australia"

We like the positive energy from the new Interprise team, they are proactive and willing to hear your problems and fix them, trying to create a community of ERP users.
