E-com Media Group Announces It Has Been Named a Microsoft Business Solutions ISV Industry Partner

E-com Media Group announced today that it has been named a Microsoft® Business Solutions ISV Industry partner. Microsoft Business Solutions ISV Industry partners provide vertical or cross-industry application or customization services or enhancements to the Microsoft Business Solutions platform and receive targeted training, support and superior business opportunities from Microsoft. E-com will provide solutions that complement the Great Plains and Navision suite of business applications developed by Microsoft Business Solutions, a leading provider of business applications designed to help small and mid-market businesses become more connected to customers, employees, partners and suppliers.

E-com's e-business platform, Précis, provides complimentary functionality for Microsoft Business Solutions users by extending a seamless link from its commerce application to these back office accounting solutions. This gives organizations a system that allows for instant access to the most current information, complete control over managing inventory levels, the elimination of redundant data entry and an increased level of accuracy.

The Précis e-business platform goes beyond the many point solutions being offered in the market today. Précis was designed to leverage the latest in web technology and to provide clients with a suite of hosted applications that will drive their entire business. The product boasts a feature set that assists in managing commerce, content, projects, sales, marketing and resources. A unique proposition... one company, one platform, providing a complete solution that has proven results.

"This new relationship with Microsoft allows us to extend the reach and power of our hosted e-business applications into the customer's back office, creating more seamless e-commerce transactions," stated Chris Leebelt, E-com's CEO. "Our clients will benefit by reducing the amount of effort needed to maintain their online storefront."

"Customers are looking for increased functionality and to maximize the return on their investment. Today, Microsoft is pleased to recognize E-com Media Group for providing solutions to meet those customers needs."
