FARMINGTON, CT — July 6, 2010 — Recognizing the need to better serve their rapidly growing global online market, Gems Sensors, after an exhaustive search, chose i-MARK Inc. to implement its’ SaaS-based and self-service product selection, quotation and order management systems that will seamlessly tie-in to their backend ERP system, provided by J.D. Edwards, an Oracle® company. After more than three months of intensive vendor evaluations and comparisons, Gems selected i-MARK and the 24/7 BUSINESS solution based on several key factors for them: exclusive focus on eBusiness solutions for the B2B manufacturer’ market; extensive experience operating over one-hundred (100) manufacturers’ eBusiness systems (a number of which, are ERP-systems’ integrated); and a history among our delighted customers of i-MARK’s highly reliable and effective SaaS-based service and performance.
