Eggrock Launches eCo-Share Service with Onyx Software, Digex and Microsoft
CONCORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 1999--
Introduces Web-Based Timesharing of Business Applications for
Emerging Enterprises Eggrock Partners, a systems integration firm specializing in customer-centered web solutions for emerging enterprises, today announced Eggrock eCo-Share, a suite of integrated web-based business applications that emerging enterprises can lease with minimal up-front investment. eCo-Share is the result of Eggrock's partnerships with Onyx(r) Software Corporation (Nasdaq:ONXS), provider of Enterprise Relationship Management (ERM) solutions; Digex, Incorporated, an Intermedia Communications company (Nasdaq:ICIX); provider and manager of Web-based hosting services; and Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT), provider of leading technology solutions for enterprise computing.
Eggrock's eCo-Share web-based solutions enable companies to leverage powerful technology solutions that support their growth strategies and manage their success. The customer-centered applications that are at the core of eCo-Share include electronic commerce, customer relationship management, financial accounting, procurement, human resource management, group productivity and enterprise reporting. These business applications, based on Microsoft BackOffice which includes Windows NT(r) 4.0, Site Server, SQL Server and Exchange Server, can be leased individually or as complete integrated solutions.
The math for eCo-Share is compelling. Forrester Research Inc. estimates that application services can cut monthly recurring costs by 30 to 50 percent, and that the market for hosting complex projects is projected to reach $8 billion by 2002, in contrast to simple Web site hosting, which is projected to reach $1 billion in 2002. Most of the growth is expected to come from hosting applications such as electronic commerce software.
"Eggrock's eCo-Share offers a high-growth company like Halcyon Software, developer and marketer of Java-based server engine tools, access to the latest technology while not having to invest in costly IT resources," remarks David Harrington, Vice President of Customer Service and Chief Information Officer, Halcyon Software. "Our business is growing and changing so fast that staying focused on our core business is critical. Eggrock affords us the experience, solutions and growth path that helps us manage our success at a cost-effective price."
"The Eggrock eCo-Share service lets emerging enterprises focus on what they do best--grow their businesses--while Eggrock solves their technology infrastructure issues using world-class solutions with a low cost of entry," said Michael Mordas, Chief Relationship Officer and Managing Director, Eggrock Partners. "Eggrock's expertise is delivering integrated business solutions to solve emerging enterprise challenges, and Eggrock eCo-Share service is a way for us to offer this marketplace what was previously reserved for billion-dollar blue-chip companies."
"Eggrock's eCo-Share leasing model opens the door for many emerging enterprise organizations to access and leverage the power of Onyx's ERM solutions today, and in the coming months the Onyx Enterprise Portal(TM)," said Brent Frei, President and CEO, Onyx Software. "It provides the emerging enterprise with a best-of-breed solution that helps organizations manage information across marketing, sales, service and support so that all team members can sell to and serve the customer. This offering combines extensive Onyx, internet and E-commerce expertise, making Eggrock an ideal partner to bring this kind of offering to the emerging enterprise market."
"Eggrock has invested the time to understand the challenges of delivering integrated web-based application solutions which are at the heart of helping emerging enterprises succeed," said Bobby Patrick, VP, Marketing and Product Development, Digex, Inc. "Such solutions offered at an affordable price-point will enable accelerated growth for companies across the products and services spectrum."
"As a Microsoft Solution Provider Partner, Eggrock understands our product strategy and offerings, intimately," states Mike Kelly, Microsoft Organizational Customer Unit Manager.
