WSI e-Fusion - Websites are dead!

Johan du Plooy - Tuesday, October 20, 2009
This amazing new product is a complete on-line business management system. Websites are dead!

It is a SaaS – “Software as a Service”.  What is SaaS?  In the software space, and particularly in the SMB market, the landscape is shifting quite rapidly where increasingly businesses are tapping into the hosted application service model.  In 5-10 years there will not be many small or small to medium sized businesses not running the majority of their software online.  The value proposition is compelling.  For our clients:

  • The service is monitored 24/7 with a 99.98% commitment to uptime
  • Improved and enhanced regularly at no additional cost to the Partner/end user
  • Shorter time to market for implementation (for the designer)
  • More affordable implementation - in terms of business function
  • API frameworks allow integration with other platforms/databases
  • Access your business toolset anywhere in the world (for Partner and end user)

So our service is really a set of business software tools, which happens to converge with hosting and pop email etc.  We empower web designers to implement these ‘Business-in-Box’ solutions, without you having to do any back end coding and without design limitation (including our Dreamweaver interface). This includes:-

  • CMS
  • Integrated CRM
  • Integrated Email Marketing
  • Integrated eCommerce
  • Forums, Blogs, RSS
  • Secure Zones
  • Searchable database tools (Web Apps)
  • Management reporting across all touch points!
  • and much more...
