Computech Resources And Tacton Systems Team Up To Provide Solutions Based On The Tacton Configurator To Manufacturers In The Midwest
Computech Resources, Inc., a Midwestern IBM® Premier Business Partner, has teamed up with Tacton to deliver a combined solution based on the Tacton Configurator and the WebSphere family of products. Manufacturers gain from an affordable solution that enables them to more effectively sell their customized or build-to-order products and services.
Manufacturing companies often sell products that are configured and built-to-order. In addition to a product catalog, these companies require an interactive sales configurator to enable the sales of custom configured products. Typically, the task of purchasing a separate best-of-breed configurator in addition to WebSphere or WebSphere Commerce would have an imposing price tag for manufacturers in the mid-market space. In addition to high license costs, the integration of the separate systems can also require significant time and resources.
Based on Tacton's standard integration to IBM's WebSphere family of products, Computech and Tacton address this barrier to mid-market manufacturers by offering a range of fully integrated and affordable solutions. Whether a company is looking to get started with the Configurator running on WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Commerce Express, or any other version of WebSphere Commerce, Computech and Tacton can deliver a solution which enables businesses to more effectively sell a wide range of customized products and services across all sales and partner channels. Benefits include an enhanced ability to sell complex products and services; higher quality quotes and orders; quicker time-to- market; and vastly reduced selling costs.
"Tacton looks forward to a very effective partnership with Computech" said Christer Wallberg, CEO, Tacton Systems. Not only does Computech have the technical expertise to deliver Tacton Configurator Solutions, they also understand their customers' needs and are active in the marketplace. Tacton's "best-of-breed" configuration technology together with Computech's implementation capabilities and customer focus ensure successful customer deployments."
