Going With The Flow
Rick Hancock, Reporter
Fox 61 News (Hartford, CT)


Del Merenda is president of i-MARK, Inc., a Hartford based Internet software company. When he started the company more than a decade ago, the Internet had not yet factored into his business.

"Before 1998, we were providing solutions on CD-ROMs, but we quickly realized that the world was moving to the Internet and we were determined to get there first. We really are one of the pioneers and I have the arrows to prove it." stated Merenda.

Despite a steady uptick in business the past several years, Merenda still considers himself a small businessman eager to grow his company. He said it wasn't a tough decision for him to move i-MARK's entire business to the web...considering that's where all of his manufacturing client's and their customers were soon heading.

"Today, engineers don't want to go to these print catalogs anymore (holding an old print catalog). They prefer to go online quickly to access product information; discover what they need; submit a request for a quote; get the company to quote a price and sell to them quickly."

Merenda says i-MARK’s Internet software applications help manufacturing companies market, sell and distribute products in a streamlined, automated fashion. He added, "with the United States manufacturing industry in flux…fewer jobs, companies heading overseas and shrinking profit margins, Internet eBusiness can dramatically boost bottom lines back here in the States."

He closed by saying, "once manufacturers put eBusiness software like ours to work on their web sites, they are in full control because we perform so many jobs…non-stop, 24/7. By providing their users the very best access to information that drives buying decisions and actions, manufacturers truly elevate themselves above their competition. Our customers are among the most profitable in their industries and have gained great respect in the marketplace because they do such a great job serving their customers."
