Also, be sure to check out our newest customers, our Eclipse tip on secondary buy lines, and the great news about phocas. Talk soon! This Year, How About Being Yourself? Halloween is upon us. It's the one time of year we get to be something we’re not. But, what if you’re pretending to be someone different all year long? For many of us, that rings true with shipping. It isn't a distributor's core competency; yet, few outsource it. Doing so with Eclipse (and Dynamex, if you so choose) is easier than you think; and, it could eliminate a lot of cost and risk. Here's something to consider: as much as 30% cost savings per year, in hard dollars. READ MORE … Bubbling Over BI One of Zerion's partners is "knocking it out of the park" these days. Phocas just received a huge honor for the second year in a row: Business Intelligence Vendor of the Year at the 2010 Software Satisfaction Awards.
