With e-commerce, looks are important, but functionality is everything especially for a company like Office Relief that has long-standing and complex business-to -business relationships. Prior to working with b2b2dot0, Office Relief had an ecommerce site that was dif ficult and expensive to maintain. The site also lacked any distinction between c asual consumers and corporate clients. And, it was completely disconnected from SAP. "In many ways, we felt like our old site was holding us hostage," said Paul Blau bach, President and CEO of Office Relief. It was expensive to maintain because up dates had to go through an external vendor, and it was impossible to get new pro ducts on the site quickly. On top of that, new orders placed on our site trigger ed a long list of internal manual processes." "But, we feared that replacing our old site would be even more expensive and pai nful. Then, b2b2dot0 showed us how we could quickly move forward with a redesign ed e-commerce site that was integrated with SAP and offered sophisticated b2b fu nctionality." The new site, which launched in Oct 2011, was built using a combination of b2b2d ot0s configurable web platform and Magento, an open source ecommerce content mana gement tool. The new site features: * * * r * * Real-time SAP data-integration Public b2c product catalogs Private, b2b product catalogs with customized price lists and complex b2b orde management rules Centralized, easy-to-use content management for multiple microsites Powerful and flexible marketing tools

"Just a few years ago, if an organization used SAP and wanted to build a web-bas ed sales channel, there were only two choices: build a custom web site from scra tch or heavily customize existing software products.
