Columbus, OH (PRWeb) February 22, 2007 -- TDCI, Inc. (TDCI), a leading enterprise software solution provider, announced today that TDCI and Infor, one of the largest global providers of enterprise software, have finalized an OEM agreement whereby Infor will provide TDCI's BuyDesign® Configurator as an integrated component of Infor ERP SyteLine, Infor ERP Sxe and Infor eStorefront. The integrated solution will provide Infor customers with an advanced product configurator, enabling them to increase revenue while improving efficiencies by reducing order processing time, cost, and errors.
BuyDesign Configurator is a powerful product configuration engine which can be deployed via the web, or as part of either server or desktop-based software applications. Developed on the Microsoft technology platform, it is a component of TDCI's BuyDesign Guided Selling and Configuration solution suite.
"Our customers need robust configuration tools which will enable them to improve profit margins and drive efficiency throughout their organizations," said Jeff Ralyea, Infor Vice President of Product Management. "We selected BuyDesign Configurator as our next-generation configuration engine because of its flexibility, ease of use, and ease of integration."
"We are very pleased to have Infor as a partner," said Dan DeMuth, TDCI President. "In addition to giving TDCI greater market reach, the fact that Infor will be selling BuyDesign Configurator to both manufacturers and distributors aligns with our vision of helping all levels of the supply chain share common product information and configuration processes."
