Interprise Suite 5.6 Scheduled for release Early Dec' 10

We passed through another year of Cyber Monday with Online sales surpassing Billion dollar mark and as we head into X-Mas Holidays we will see the holiday season trend to continue.

Talking about trends, Interprise has been busy cooking newer versions with some newer features the latest to hit their download section is Ver 5.6 we got in-sight to couple of features that will roll out and one of the interesting feature from SEO point of it is "Item Image Enhancement".


The item image enhancement makes it easier for merchants to create items and associate a file name instead of auto serialized numbers and giving it a proper name makes it even better and stands out in Search engines as engines index images based on filename of the image itself.
So instead of 100.jpg it we could say Canon-powershot-S90.jpg then it would make more sense for engines to index that and most likely show up in image search results on Google, Bing and others.

Here is a sneak peek at the screenshot of IS 5.6 Item Image Enhancement and we will discuss more features as 5.6 gets ready to release in a week's time, so stay tuned...

Interprise Suite 5.5 is now available for Public

Interprise Solutions has announced availability of its new version for public release and it's now available for download for existing customers. 

• Enhanced Performance
• Designed for PA-DSS compliance
• Paypal Express Checkout service integration
• New, faster installer
• New, online store demo database
• Improved cache engine
• Improved SDK
• Improved customization synchronization
  We did download and upgraded our client and noticed few changes overall "With 5.5 we’ve taken the most fully integrated eCommerce / CRM / ERP solution and made it even better with the addition of a two entirely new modules – live chat and shipping"

New Chat module catches attention for business owners since you don't have to pay expensive fees to integrate this on your eCommerce website. It took few hrs to read through chat documentation and set it up but once hooked it really adds value to your website.


You can setup different chat rooms for Sales, Returns and other departments and have the client/agents installed on your sales rep workstation and be able to monitor your web traffic and answer any question that's asked or you can invoke a conversation with the shoppers and help them by pushing the URL for the right product they are looking for, it really helps in conversion 


We will update more as we learn about the new features in 5.5 so stay tuned ...

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.
