Channel Intelligence Announces BETA Release of New eCommerce Data Platform CI Exchange
Marketing technology company Channel Intelligence releases new eCommerce data platform for the seamless storage and exchange of manufacturer and retailer product data.
Orlando, FL, July 09, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Channel Intelligence, Inc. (CI), the leader in innovative marketing technology solutions for manufacturers and retailers, today announced the BETA release of its new eCommerce data platform. The platform, called CI Exchange (CiEX), enables high-fidelity data exchange between participants within CiEX communities. Unlike any other data platform in the eCommerce industry today, CiEX results in a more accurate and reliable database of eCommerce product information, as the data both describes and validates itself prior to exchange.
Participants in CiEX (pronounced “sci-ex”), ranging from manufacturers to retailers, data aggregators, service providers, content providers, publishers and more, will be able to store and exchange eCommerce data seamlessly. Those participants who share similar data and business needs and want to share product data will cluster together or form groups to create communities, much like in the social networking arena. Participants can join multiple communities without limitation, to enable sharing of eCommerce data free from many of today’s common data exchange issues.
Robert Sefick, Chief Technology Officer for Channel Intelligence, explains, “Today, most eCommerce data exchange occurs via FTP and data feeds. This method of exchange is slow, unreliable and prone to mistakes. CiEX solves these issues by implementing a service-oriented architecture for exchanging strongly typed items in near real time.”
“CiEX will play a key role in eCommerce for many months and years to come,” adds Rob Wight, Chief Executive Officer for Channel Intelligence. “We’re only in the beginning stages of running our own operations on this new eCommerce data platform and can already see the performance benefits to our product lines.”
The company is currently working with a select group of BETA partners and clients during this initial release and expects to open up CiEX to the eCommerce community later this year. For more information about CiEX, please visit http://www.channelintelligence.com/technology/index.html. Companies interested in becoming a CiEX integrator or participant should send an email to CiEXInfo@channelintelligence.com.
