Access Commerce partners with Business Connection to target packaging sector

ACCESS COMMERCE (EURONEXT: 7424), has announced a VAR agreement with Business Connection, an SAP certified vertical solution reseller based in Velizy, France. Business Connection has passed the SAP certification program and is authorized to sell industry-specific business solutions for the packaging and paper industry.

Under the agreement, Business Connection will integrate Access Commerce's Cameleon Configurator within Boost, Business Connection’s prepackaged SAP business solution for the packaging and paper industry. Access Commerce say that, when powered by Cameleon product configuration technology, the Boost solution will be perfectly adapted to the demanding requirements of the packaging and paper industry. Cameleon will enable Boost users to respond rapidly and precisely to each and every customer request through the SAP quotation and order entry modules.

"At the very early stages of SAP customization, we realized that the packaging industry had high level product configuration requirements. All packaging must correspond to a specific customer request, translating into unique dimensions, printing or technical criteria," said Elizabeth Serfaldi, Partner Relations Director at Business Connection. "After a detailed analysis of the configurator market players, including SAP, Cameleon was found to be the best choice. Cameleon’s friendliness, advanced configuration capabilities and fast implementation were the key decision factors."

"We are extremely pleased to add Business Connection to our growing list of certified resellers for Cameleon Advanced Selling Solutions," stated Jacques Soumeillan, CEO of Access Commerce. He went on to say that "Cameleon offers superior value through a combination of rich functionality and ease-of-use that can’t be matched by ERP providers. This new partnership confirms that our open, standards based approach to integration provides an excellent fit between our solutions and the leading ERP systems, including SAP."
