-ePages integrated with SAP® Business One now available on-demand-

ePages, a leading provider of on-demand online shops and company Web sites, is now partnering with coresystems, a SAP gold level solution partner, to deliver seamless integration between ePages online shops and SAP® Business One. A comprehensive application tailored to small businesses, ‘ePages for SAP Business One’ helps entrepreneurs to tap new sales channels and increase sales while reducing costs associated with sales, marketing and order processing. This new solution has been certified by SAP and recognised as an ‘Advantage Solution’.

Thanks to the new on-demand packages – ‘ePages Base, ready for SAP Business One’, ‘ePages Base for SAP Business One’ and ‘ePages Flex for SAP Business One’ – customers with an existing SAP Business One application can quickly and easily enter the world of e-business, on their own and without costly fees for consulting and implementation. A single monthly rental fee covers the ePages application and the interface to SAP Business One, as well as hosting, regular updates, support services and system management.

Small and medium-sized enterprises in particular must manage money cost-consciously. The automation of processes and tapping of the Internet as a sales channel can be complicated and resource-hungry, making it a genuine challenge. “Thanks to our new offer, it couldn’t be easier for SMEs to professionally establish themselves as an online business, with SAP Business One integration – at very reasonable costs on the one hand, and negligible technological investment on the other hand”, explains Wilfried Beeck, CEO of ePages.

“We had already successfully integrated SAP Business One and ePages online shops in other projects. This new, on-demand complete solution builds on that expertise and leverages the synergies of Enterprise Resource Planning and e-business to minimise costs for businesses”, adds Manuel Grenacher, CEO of coresystems ag.

Developed by coresystems and certified by SAP, the ‘coresuite eCommerce go’ interface enables the exchange of data between SAP Business One and ePages online shops. In addition to preconfigured online shops with a standard interface to SAP Business One, coresystems offers a service package for customising the interface. ePages helps customers by means of Design & Consult packages for designing and creating online shops.

“E-commerce now plays a pivotal role in most industries. A professional e-commerce solution is an important aspect in the portfolio of our channel partners for SAP Business One”, explains Stephen Read, director SME at SAP UK and Ireland. “’ePages for SAP Business One’ gives even comparatively small customers an opportunity to simply and professionally establish a business presence online.”
