Element Computer and CentraVew, LLC Partner to Deliver CRM Appliance for Small and Medium Businesses
Element Computer will offer Centraview's open-source CRM and Contact Management pre-installed on the Fusion Universal Appliance Server in Q1 05 for small and medium businesses.
Staten Island, NY (PRWEB) December 2, 2004 -- Element Computer, Inc., the
developer of the popular linux-based Fusion Univeral Business Appliance for the
small and medium enterprise (SME), announced a partnership with CentraView, LLC,
a leading provider of browser-based Contact Management, Sales Force Automation
(SFA) and Customer Relationship management (CRM) software. Element Computer will
deliver CentraView's open-source software pre-installed on the new Fusion CRM
Appliance which is targeted for shipment by Q1 2005.
The Fusion-CRM line
leverages the power of an all-in-one appliance server supporting up to 100 users
and combines the CentraView solution in configurations of 10, 25, or 50 users.
Additional users may be purchased as needed. “We have customers and channel
partners in the US and over seas who are requesting a browser based CRM/SFA
solution that runs on our server appliance,” said Ray Jolly, CEO of Element
Computer. “CentraView offers the most feature-complete and scalable solution we
could find. We expect that the Fusion-CRM appliance will be very well received,
and will provide significant value to our product mix,” says Jolly. “This is yet
another way for Element to deliver high customer value, and its a key
differentiator for our channel partners, based on our proven reliable and easy
to use Linux based business appliance.”
“Certain customers and resellers
want a version of CentraView that runs their data, but without the added
complexities of buying a separate server and having to configure and maintain
3rd party hardware and software,” said Alan Rihm, CEO of CentraView.
“Pre-installing CentraView software on a dense, powerful, yet cost effective
Fusion server eliminates the complexities of server setup and 3rd party software
configurations, and reduces the total cost of ownership of our software. The
Fusion CRM server is pre-configured with the latest version of the CentraView
software, so administrators and users can become productive almost immediately.
The partnership with Element Computer makes it even easier for our customers to
focus on using our software to improve their business and processes, and
provides a single source for all service and support.”
