e-Quantum: Life After Linkage Dear Colleagues, Let's clarify two things right off. This is not about social networking and it's not about golf. Hopefully, that admission won't lose half the readership right here. But we need to discuss the tremendous bottom-line benefits e-Quantum's position as our Industry's "Linkage Leader" can deliver to YOU! As you are aware, the business cycle has become a world of NOW! Clients use e-commerce to research products, request quotes and place orders NOW! They want their order acknowledgements, shipping information and invoices NOW! NOW! is the new standard for satisfactory e-service in today's electronic world. The good news is that NOW e-Quantum assures that our Industry distributors and manufacturers can provide that level of e-service to every customer. NOW! e-service requires going beyond business as usual. It requires "Linkage." You can call it interoperability, interfacing, XML, or whatever you wish. But the point is our Industry members will only survive and prosper if we provide a seamless transmission of electronic information from the customer to the distributor to the manufacturer and back again. Anything less will render us uncompetitive in the NOW! world. That's why e-Quantum has made it a highest priority to "link" with leading industry manufacturers via e-commerce punchouts and XML back office integration. The result is NOW! e-service that allows PO's, acknowledgements, shipping notices, and invoices to be sent and received electronically without re-keying. Punchouts to vendor e-commerce systems allow end users to place orders that flow seamlessly into your Quantum Net shopping carts. NOW! that's e-service! Next week our new Ennis integration will go live. All Ennis specialized product catalogs will be accessible via Quantum Net e-commerce, or orders can be sent via the XML order cycle. That's available NOW! Recently, 50 distributors recently joined our XML webinar showing our new integration with CE Printed Products. That's available NOW! Acculink, Colorcentric, General Financial, Hodgins Engraving, Printegra, SP Richards, Wright Enterprises and United Stationers are also e-Quantum NOW! e-service vendors ... and others are in process. Many manufacturers approached us at the recent Chicago Print Solutions EXPO. They know they need e-service NOW! And, they know e-Quantum is their "link" to more than 500 leading distributors. e-Service integration will be a major e-Quantum focus leading up to our May, 2010 International Client Conference in Reno. That conference will feature a greatly expanded "TECHNO EXPO" at which we expect 30-40 leading industry vendors to exhibit. For a complete list of our fine e-Quantum e-service vendors email sales@e-quantum.com for more information. You simply can't afford to miss the bottom line benefits NOW! e-service vendors can bring to you and your customers. e-Service from e-Quantum ... NOW! the missing "link" isn’t missing anymore. Sincerely, ![]() Ross Barker |
