Integration Adds Multichannel Order Management Features to Popular Shopping Cart Software

Mission Viejo, CA February 20, 2008 — Early Impact, developer of the ProductCart line of shopping cart software, and Stone Edge Technologies, developer of the Order Manager software for centralized order processing, today announced the integration of the two products, which will allow ProductCart users to license the Order Manager to streamline their order management, especially when handling multiple online storefronts and sales channels.

ProductCart e-commerce software is used by thousands of Internet stores to create and manage professional online storefronts. It combines hundreds of sophisticated features with remarkable ease of use and supports dozens of payment gateways, as well as shipping and marketing systems.

The integration between the two systems will allow Stone Edge customers to take advantage of ProductCart’s unique e-commerce features, such as its Build to Order system for selling complex, customizable products and services over the Internet.

The Stone Edge Order Manager provides a single interface for effective order processing in a multichannel environment, where a company’s Web, mail order, and retail businesses are managed in one shared system. The Order Manager is an ideal solution for managing orders and inventory across multiple, ProductCart-powered e-commerce storefronts, while retaining the branding of each individual store.

“Many ProductCart users take orders over the phone, have a retail location, or run multiple online stores with our shopping cart software. They were looking for a robust solution to consolidate order processing in one place.” said Massimo Arrigoni, CEO of Early Impact. “The integration with the Stone Edge Order Manager addresses this need, helping store managers save time and money while becoming more efficient.”

“With just a few clicks, merchants using ProductCart can now import new orders into the Order Manager, where they have easy access to all the features they need to effectively process and fulfill orders,” said Barney Stone, president of Stone Edge Technologies. “And there is real-time inventory synchronization too: if you sell the last unit of a product in your retail store, or re-stock a sold-out product, those inventory adjustments can be reflected immediately in your ProductCart-powered store.”

ProductCart is available starting at $695 per storefront. The Stone Edge Order Manager is available starting at $1500, which includes one shopping cart license, five workstation licenses, and an extended support contract for the first year.

Over 130 speakers share real-world applications and experiences on May 20-24 at the 3rd annual Semantic Technology Conference, May 20-24 in San Jose, California. This year’s event will be the largest event ever dedicated to the business of semantic technologies and the semantic web. Semantics is a hot industry sector – a $2 billion per year market and projected to grow to over $50 billion by the year 2010. Leading analysts have estimated that 35-65% of our System Integration costs are due to Semantic issues. Featuring over 24 case studies and more than 600 attendees, this gathering is attracting IT, research and business leaders alike.

San Jose, CA April 11, 2007 — Wilshire Conferences today announces the 3rd annual Semantic Technology Conference, May 20-24 in San Jose, California. This year’s event will be the largest event ever dedicated to the business of semantic technologies and the semantic web. Featuring over 130 expert speakers, 24 case studies, and more than 600 attendees, this gathering is attracting IT, research and business leaders alike.

With semantics and the semantic web at the center of the next phase of the Internet’s development, pioneers such as Oracle, Raytheon, MetLife, Time Inc., Cleveland Clinic, Sandia Labs, US Air Force, NASA and TopQuadrant, along with many others spanning numerous industries, are uniting to educate attendees. The conference will touch on the basics of how the semantic web is being built using metadata, XML microformats, the W3C standards RDF and OWL, and other existing components. Presentations will focus on the newest technologies and applications-including SOA, ontologies, semantic integration, semantic queries, natural language extraction and semantic wikis-but on how these developments are already being used by businesses to generate revenue as well as save time, improve knowledge management, and reduce costs.

Agenda highlights include two Keynote panels. The first explores the practical aspects of Delivering Business Value with Semantics and includes senior technical and business executives from Oracle, Yahoo!; Garlik; NASA and the Object Management Group.

The second Keynote features a candid conversation with Entrepreneurs and Investors who are Building the Semantic Technology Industry. Mills Davis of Project 10X moderates, with panelists John Giannandrea, of Metaweb, Nova Spivak of Radar Networks Mark Greaves of Vulcan Inc., Nicholas El Baze of Partech International, and Bradley Allen from Siderean.

Describing the conference agenda, Tony Shaw, President of Wilshire Conferences, said “We’re delighted with the caliber of industry leaders the conference has attracted, both on the speaker faculty as well as in the audience. SemTech is definitely the place to meet the people who are bringing semantic technologies to the world.” Additionally, he is optimistic about the commercial opportunities semantic technology is providing: “In a few years we’ll take all this embedded semantic meaning for granted – we’ll expect systems to be lot smarter. This is merely the beginning of a long-term build-out of semantic capability.”

In addition to the world-class educational sessions, the Semantic Technology Conference boasts a comprehensive presence of exhibitors unveiling the latest semantic innovations. Organizations including Oracle Corporation, TopQuadrant, Metatomix, JustSystems, FourthCodex, and Siderean Software demonstrate the advanced commercial capabilities of their latest products.
