The cover of this
month's issue of Apparel magazine features Mervyns,
a regional retailer based
in California and an ecVision customer. Mervyns,
which operates 173 department stores in 8 states
and produces private label fashion and home décor
products, implemented XpressCommerce to support its
global buying and sourcing process and to improve
its brand management. |
|
Last
year Mervyns selected ecVision
XpressCommerce to improve product development cycle
times, eliminate redundant efforts, improve visibility
into the product
lifecycle,
and put a platform in place that facilitates collaboration
between its internal teams, overseas buying offices
and factories. ecVision was their choice
because of its ability to integrate with external
systems
and
extend
Mervyns' capabilities
from the product lifecycle into the supply chain.

In
this article, you can read about Mervyns split from
Target and its success implementing all new software
systems within an 18-month period following the spin-off.

| In a 2007 report
from AMR Research, corporate initiatives become imperatives
that differentiate best-in-class organizations. These
organizational imperatives are a great way to illustrate
return on investment (ROI). The reality is that these
imperatives are driving global sourcing strategies and
initiatives. The companies that have the most successful
global sourcing programs have tied these imperatives
to the success of their initiatives. |
|
|
In a free whitepaper, we match these corporate goals
with the features and functionality that set ecVision
XpressCommerce apart from other providers. In each of
these subject areas, we identify a corporate goal, and
then show how value is derived by using a set of sophisticated
technology features found in XpressCommerce.

Studies
show online help functionality can reduce training
costs by up to 200% by connecting system documentation
and user’s manuals with users who need to quickly
locate the information they need to operate proficiently.
As Web-based applications become richer in functionality
users will inevitably need assistance, making quick access
to help even more important. |
| |
| In the
May 2008 update release of XpressCommerce™, ecVision
customers will have the option to add an Online Help feature
to the
application
during implementation. This end-user usability feature
improves retail software productivity and proficiency by
providing users with the knowledge they need at their fingertips. |
