"SpaceWorks
Web BusinessManager Suite
provides the enterprise with a
comprehensive self-service e-Commerce application infrastructure
and the functionality to evolve the business process underlying
the selling proposition."
"As
America's businesses look to the future of electronic commerce,
they need to be assured of a solution that can move with them
into the next millennium and beyond. SpaceWorks OrderManager
fully meets this demand and serves as a prime example of a truly
forward-marching electronic commerce application."
"SpaceWorks
has taken on a sound strategy of concentrating on developing
core functionality in-house and partnering with specialized vendors
for value-added products. Maintaining this strategy and building
out the Web BusinessManager Suite provides an attractive, comprehensive
product offering."
"SpaceWorks
continues to round out a strong offering through partnerships and
developments."
"SpaceWorks'
aggressive adoption of J2EE will further enhance the long-term viability
and flexibility of its product."
"SpaceWorks
Web BusinessManager Suite reinforces the trend toward offering pre-integrated
suites that perform most of the back-end functions of an e-commerce
site."

"While
many companies recognize the need for supply chain automation via
the Web, they are faced with build-or-buy decisions in establishing
such a Web presence. SpaceWorks provides a viable out-of-the-box
solution for building and maintaining a Web-based relationship with
trading partners."
"There
are business-to-business (B2B) specialists - including SpaceWorks
- that specialize in the commercial applications demanded in B2B
transactions, such as collaborative engineering, back-end and e-marketplace
integration."
"Enterprises
whose sole perspective on e-commerce is that of selling products
to businesses instead of consumers should invest in a sell-side
platform that is optimized for such sales. [...] Substantial differences
in selling perspectives - such as the ability to support automated
B2B commerce, to shift massive volumes of goods, and to deal in
multiple parameter negotiations - may require specialized technology
to execute."
"By
far, the most critical element of Internet commerce is the sell-side
platform. To develop a robust, future resistant commerce strategy,
enterprises must invest in one of them. [...] Marketplaces need
sellers to survive, and we are seeing the first signs of sell-side
commerce platforms connecting directly to marketplaces. [...] Enterprises
must establish a route to a single e-commerce sell-side platform
for direct, marketplace, and indirect sales by 2003."
"Vendors
must be able to execute today as well as possess a vision for B2B
customer segments ... Catalogs need to provide custom views of catalog
based on access control and parametric search for the serious business
buyer
Back-end access and full support of EDI formats are
required as well."

"The
SpaceWorks application is designed to automate all aspects of ordering
as a strategic business process, including marketing and selling,
order tracking and fulfillment, and supporting a community of trading
partners."
"SpaceWorks
has all the right stuff for many mainstream customers right now
those companies that are looking for an industrial strength
solution and that are attracted to a turnkey application."
"SpaceWorks
was B2B before anyone even knew what the term stood for. With the
Web BusinessManager Suite, SpaceWorks offers one of the most flexible,
comprehensive and fail-safe B2B Web commerce products on the market."
"SpaceWorks
is well-positioned to transfer its ability to rapidly implement
successful B2B e-Commerce sites within the Global 2000 to
the emerging e-marketplace sector."
"Solutions
from vendors such as SpaceWorks enable a Web storefront to present,
configure, and price according to customer history or specifications."
Fulfillment the Key to B2B Supply Chain Success.
