Latest Version of Supplier Portal Solution Developed by ICG Consulting Streamlines Implementation and Accelerates Supplier Adoption
By allowing their customers to take full advantage of a more streamlined technology footprint along with advanced functionality like Dynamic Discounting, the new supplier portal will reap significant bottom-line savings and improved cash flow.
Scottsdale, Ariz. (PRWEB) November 16, 2008 -- Financial back office solutions provider ICG Consulting announced today that it has developed a new version of its popular Supplier Portal solution. This latest version is built on Adobe® Flex® and offers clients the ability to implement a Supplier Portal solution in less time and with a smaller technology footprint without sacrificing the flexibility or robust security features offered in early versions.
According to ICG's Director of Technical Operations, Jason Douglas, this new platform will allow ICG and their customers to design and implement supplier facing portals that will integrate with and emulate existing customer facing portal applications. "We have seen a lot of excitement about the ability to quickly enable suppliers, distributors and customers' who can collaborate in a web-based self-service environment. By utilizing existing infrastructure and adding on new functionality using a building block approach, both IT staff and business users are embracing this approach". Mr. Douglas also noted "this new platform allows us to go outside the normal supplier portal box by allowing our customers to implement value added features like setting up micro-sites for training and on-boarding activities and communicating valuable, real-time supply chain information across multiple constituencies".
Jim O'Rourke, ICG Consulting's Director of Business Development, thinks this improved Supplier Portal solution will gain significant traction given the difficult economic conditions. "We make it our business to save our clients significant amounts of money with quick and compelling returns on their supplier portal investments" said O'Rourke. "We do this by streamlining the high volume of transactions between companies and their thousands of suppliers. Some of the functionality that drives down costs and improves cash flow includes on-line payment inquiry, supplier self-service, web-based invoice submission, collaborative dispute management, as well as dynamic discounting / accelerated payments. Taken together, these features are enabling our customers and their suppliers to save significant transaction and supply chain costs." Given the rough times ahead for many companies ICG anticipates higher demand for their Supplier Portal and Dynamic Discounting solutions due to the immediate bottom-line impact these solutions deliver.
ICG has delivered their solutions to leading companies in a variety of industries including foodservice, distribution, manufacturing, utilities, healthcare, and hospitality & gaming.
