Visma launches e-commerce solution



Visma has launched a new product for electronic commerce. Visma e-Business™ is fully integrated with Visma Business™, and provides for cost-effective purchases and sales via the Internet. All information is stored in one location in the financial system, and administration of the system is extremely simple. Like Visma's other systems, Visma e-Business™ is a standard product, but can be adapted to the individual business without expensive consultant resources.
Visma e-Business™ has been developed in cooperation with Unison Systems AS, a Norwegian software company, which focuses on developing niche products to be linked with larger systems. Visma holds exclusive rights for the marketing and distribution of the solution worldwide.
Visma's Business division will work together with a number of third-party suppliers to supply exciting total solutions of high quality for our customers, dealers and distributors.

The managing director of Visma Norge AS, Bjørn A. Ingier, says:
Our key concern is to improve the efficiency of our customers' business processes at an affordable price. Through our e-commerce solution, we create opportunities for our customers to improve revenues through a higher level of service and increased availability to their business partners. At the same time, there is great potential for cutting costs in areas such as administration as well as distribution of information and materials.

The managing director of Unison Systems AS, Nils-Jakob Kringlebotten, says:
Business development - whatever the sector - calls for a financial management system that takes care of the change process every company needs because of the increasing trade across geographical and industry boundaries. Effective use of Internet technology will be one of the most important tools for managing these processes. The key to success is smart Web / e-commerce solutions integrated with the company's financial management system, often instead of industry-specific solutions. We have chosen Visma Business as our partner because of their focus on quality, their long-term approach, and above all their capacity for innovation.
