BURLINGTON, ONTARIO: eBRIDGE Software has launched a new website with more interactive features for its customers and visitors. Leveraging its 16 years of experience and knowledge in the Integration as a Service marketplace, eBRIDGE hopes its new 'eBridge Online' site will bring its software as a service (SaaS) offering to a wider audience.

eBridge Online allows prospects to browse through the thousands of existing EDI, CRM, Webstore and Supply Chain Management (SCM) connections that the company has built over the past 16 years.

Features of the new site include a 'snapshot' window called eBridge Statistics that shows prospects which eBRIDGE connections are being used by companies similar to theirs. In addition, the new eBridge Online website allows visitors and prospects to:

* search across thousands of pre-built EDI, CRM, Webstore and Supply Chain Management connections to find the ones they need;

* Preview real-time connection details, such as how many businesses are using a particular connection, how many businesses documents have been transacted through a connection, and what different document types are supported for each connection;

* Quickly and easily create a connection diagram that meets their requirements; and

* Access a FREE eBridge Online account and become part of the growing community.

"Using various Web 2.0 tools, our new site allows us to build and support a solid community of users," said Dave Malda, eBRIDGE Marketing Coordinator. "We wanted to demonstrate our commitment to our customers, and our 16 plus years of experience to the small and medium-sized business (SMB) owners who are our prospects. We invite all prospective clients to join our online community so they can freely review and explore what other customers have done. It's the best way to show them that we understand their business, and that our connections can help them to grow."

By offering visitors a 'behind the scenes' glimpse of the thousands of connections that eBRIDGE's ePortal handles every day, the company hopes to reassure prospective customers that they will not be the first to use a particular connection that they need to do business. The site's new level of transparency makes it easy for anyone to see the number of documents transacted by any specific connection, whether it's to Home Depot for EDI, eBay for webstore connections, or FedEx for supply chain management connections.

"Being in the Integration as a Service marketplace is no easy task -- you need both knowledge and experience in order to succeed," said Colin Brown, CEO of eBRIDGE Software. "We do have both, and being able to share and expose that with our eBridge Online community is very valuable. Together we can collaborate online and share our experiences in a community that will enable SMBs to cost-effectively compete in their marketplaces."
