Big Picture Announces Official Launch of eMERCHANT pro CALGARY, Nov. 29 /CNW/ - Big Picture Technologies is pleased to announce the official release of eMERCHANT pro, the only complete e-commerce Web site in-a-box available. With a street price of less than US$100, this software is poised to capture significant market share. eMERCHANT pro includes Web site hosting and domain name registration at no additional charge and is marketed almost exclusively through the traditional software distribution channel. eMERCHANT pro also incorporates Telemarketing, a feature unique to the product that allows merchants to directly engage online customers in a two-way dialogue. ``The official launch of this product is a crucial watershed in Big Picture's transition to becoming a fully integrated vendor of Internet software,' stated the Company's President & CEO, Mike Anthony. ``This is the first of a series of products Big Picture is bringing to market over the next few months and we are ecstatic that our original partnership with Morgan Media to develop this product eventually led to the acquisition of that company.' The acquisition of Salasan and Morgan Media was announced by Big Picture on November 12th, 1999. Anthony added that ``Big Picture anticipates that eMERCHANT pro will sell approximately 3,500 units in the 4th quarter, despite unexpected delays related to packaging, and that sales will continue to ramp upwards in subsequent periods.' Big Picture Technologies Inc. (ASE:BPI) is a developer of award winning Internet software and content, dedicated to building solutions for business-to-business online communication.
