FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPS COMMERCE FORGES RESELLER
AGREEMENT WITH QUANTUM SOFTWARE CORPORATION
- Company will Resell SPS' File Integration
Service to Extensive Customer Base
Utilizing MANMAN Accounting System
--
St. Paul, Minn., February 18, 2004
- SPS Commerce, the leading Supply
Chain Integration Service provider,
today announced a reseller agreement
with Quantum Software Corporation.
Quantum will now offer their large
installed base of MANMAN ERP system
users SPS' File Integration service,
a hosted solution designed to help
small and mid-sized businesses fulfill
their customers' EDI/b2b requirements
in a cost-effective, user-friendly
manner.
"Ease-of-use and full integration
with the MANMAN accounting system
were essential elements in choosing
an e-commerce partner for our users,"
said Ali Saadat, CEO of Quantum Software
Corporation. "After our initial
evaluation, it is clear that SPS Commerce
has a proven, tested method to assist
small and mid-sized companies, like
our customers, in entering the realm
of e-commerce."
Quantum initially began searching
for an e-commerce partner to assist
Measurement Specialties, a customer
that faced an EDI compliance mandate
and was looking for a method that
would integrate with their MANMAN
accounting system. SPS Commerce's
track record of proven integration
with various leading accounting packages,
coupled with their cost-effective
hosted method, led Quantum to recommend
SPS to Measurement Specialties for
their EDI needs. Upon further review
of SPS' successful partner program,
Quantum became interested in reselling
SPS' File Integration service to their
installed base of MANMAN customers.
Under the new agreement, Quantum
will receive sales training and support
from SPS and will be paid a commission
on future sales of the File Integration
service to their customer base. The
relationship will extend SPS Commerce's
reach into a previously hard-to-infiltrate
customer base for the File Integration
service.
"Quantum's expertise in providing
technology for legacy systems will
allow manufacturing companies to quickly
adapt to e-commerce demands without
the burden of developing the connectivity
and mapping requirements for each
one of their customers or suppliers,"
said Archie Black, CEO of SPS Commerce.
"Quantum's recommendation and
desire to resell our File Integration
service is yet another signal that
SPS Commerce is being recognized as
the standard for hosted supply chain
solutions for the SME market. We look
forward to working with Quantum, and
other similar companies, to help their
customers acquire the e-commerce tools
necessary to reap the benefits of
streamlined transaction processes."
