"We simply could not accomplish our business goals with our old site, and it would have taken years to scale up. We launched two new storefronts, in about nine weeks, each custom-tailored to different target markets," said Sean Harrison, LI-COR eCommerce project manager. "Because we have an existing Salesforce.com CRM system, the integration of our eCommerce data was seamless. We can now use real-time metrics to guide our future business planning," Harrison noted.
"CloudCraze is the culmination of 10 years of our experience building eCommerce solutions for enterprise clients. We've now extended that experience into the Cloud," says EDL Consulting CEO, Bill Loumpouridis. "With CloudCraze, Cloud-based business transactions are now a natural extension of core enterprise applications," said Loumpouridis.
"In addition, LI-COR's use of CloudCraze in the biotech vertical further legitimizes the use of the Force.com platform for enterprises in other industries with complex, sophisticated product portfolios," said Loumpouridis.
