AMR Selects Global eBusiness Integrator for Ability to Bring Fresh Perspective

To Both Strategy and Implementation

HAYWARD, Calif., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ --

eFORCE, Inc., a global eBusiness integrator serving both major corporations and digital start-ups, was named a Leading Exchange Builder Specialist by the respected analyst and research firm AMR Research.

In a September research report on eCommerce applications titled "The Exchange Builders: Architects Of The New Economy," eFORCE was recognized for its "excellent business process and integration competency."

The report focused on independent, consortium, or private exchange companies looking to partner with an eBusiness integration firm to build out their site. The AMR Research report went on to cite the genuine competency that exchange builder specialists such as eFORCE bring to the endeavor.

In only six quarters of existence, Silicon Valley-based eFORCE has captured a dominant position in the business-to-business (B2B) exchange marketplace. Leveraging its robust project deployment methodology, eBRIDGE(TM) (eBusiness Rapid Implementation and Deployment for Global Enterprises), eFORCE has built successful B2B exchanges for clients in the publishing, steel, personnel services, transportation, industrial equipment, property maintenance, and insurance industries.

Utilizing state-of-the-art eBusiness infrastructure in its Centers of Excellence (high-performance laboratories) located in major cities across North America and in Europe, eFORCE has been able to help its clients rapidly launch industrial strength, production-ready exchanges.

EqualFooting, an early eFORCE exchange client launched in less than four months, operates a B2B marketplace for industrial supplies and equipment in which small businesses gain the purchasing power of larger corporations. The online site provides buyers and suppliers with a true multi-channel customer interaction mechanism -- including web, email, phone, and fax -- that delivers commerce, communication, and customer service enabling small businesses to compete on a global scale.

Nat Natraj, Chief Executive Officer of eFORCE, commented: "It is gratifying that the respected analyst and research firm AMR has recognized eFORCE for its efforts on behalf of our clients. Our B2B Exchange Practice(TM), like our other vertical practices, including Multi-Channel Retail, Financial Services, and Telecommunications, were created to deliver to the critical business needs of our clients."
