Blue Link's Hosted Solution & eCommerce Popularity on the Rise
Thursday, September 1, 2011
Concord, Ontario, Canada – Blue Link Associates has reported a spike in both interest and new clients for their cloud-based (SaaS) deployment method. Cloud-based deployment has certainly been the topic of the year and it appears that clients are now embracing the concept as a viable method of deployment. Although on-premises deployment remains a strong choice for those requiring their data to be stored in-house, many clients are choosing SaaS for its ease of deployment, lack of required infrastructure and affordable monthly billing. “It is clear in my daily interactions with clients that small business owners understand the benefits of a hosted ERP solution. Most will no longer consider on-premises as an option,” says David Silva, Marketing & Sales Coordinator for Blue Link.
Blue Link also notes a large increase in demand for eCommerce integration with their ERP system. “It is clear that it is becoming more important than ever for businesses to have a single integrated system across functions,” states Mark Canes, Blue Link President. “Whereas in the past it may have been acceptable to account for online sales activity manually in the back end, it has now become completely unsustainable and a limiting factor to the growth of online sales.”
Blue Link’s on-going partnership with Demac Media has allowed them to offer a powerful and flexible online eCommerce webstore that integrates seamlessly with their inventory and accounting software. Customers now have the ability to launch attractive, user-friendly websites to drive additional traffic – even when their primary strategy is business-to-business. Each website is search engine optimized and comes with a range of marketing services to help clients grow their business.
With eCommerce and their new hosted (SaaS) deployment, Blue Link looks forward to adding new value for their clients as well as their own continued business growth into the future.
