ITema`s hosted and managed service instantly deploys, configures, and synchronizes applications in real-time.
New London, CT, 09/17/2007 ITema, Inc. today released the first of a new type of software store. Gone are the days when users buy or download packaged software, then install, configure, and maintain it themselves. ITema`s hosted and managed service instantly deploys, configures, and synchronizes Web/e-commerce, accounting, CRM, business intelligence, e-mail, and other applications in real-time.
ITema supports a rapidly growing list of market-leading products, including Intuit QuickBooks, Sage Peachtree and Act!, Microsoft Small Business Accounting, and many popular Open Source products including SugarCRM, vtiger, and Zimbra. For about the price of a cable bill, ITema offers immediate deployment, real-time synchronization, and centralized user management of a complete business solution.
The company`s ad-supported Community Edition provides free Web sites, blogs, forums, and wikis for individuals, families, clubs, municipalities, and associations. Paid subscriptions begin at $49 / month with the single user Professional Edition that includes a content managed e-commerce Web site, accounting connectivity, CRM, and Zimbra e-mail. Small Business and Enterprise Editions include additional user licenses and product selections at prices ranging from $129 to $299 / month. Wholesale pricing is available for VARs and affiliates.
“Many `Integration` products expect the user to be a developer, or to run manual imports,” said Chad Robinson, CEO. “ITema takes care of the hard work by providing live data synchronization across applications in minutes. This saves customers time and money, and eliminates complexity.”
With ITema, integration is universal when data is edited in any application, it will be synchronized with every other application in the customer`s account. User accounts are also centrally managed, simplifying password reset and account creation operations. Subscribers can even run more than one accounting product in parallel. This is ideal for home office use or during product migrations. ITema also provides backup services for customers` accounting data.
ITema lets small businesses look like big businesses to their customers. Orders placed on the web site are accessible in seconds. Content managed Web sites save calling (and paying) developers for minor text updates. Blogs, forums, or wikis can be added with a few clicks in the ITema account manager.
ITema Enterprise Edition users get reporting / business intelligence tools and a data warehouse that is kept up to date with information from the accounting, CRM, and other applications automatically. This provides one-stop shopping for all reporting needs, allowing creation of cross-application reports with ease.
ITema customers receive their first 30 days of service free, and may cancel at any time. Once business owners have experienced this complete, on-demand business software solution made up of the applications they want to use, ITema believes they`ll never want to run independent, unconnected applications again.
