PDG SHOPPING CART 2002 RELEASED—AGGRESSIVELY POSITIONING PDG SOFTWARE IN THE E-COMMERCE MARKET
ATLANTA - August 29, 2001 - PDG Software, Inc. a leader in Internet commerce for small to medium sized businesses, today announced the release of PDG Shopping Cart 2002-the latest version of its popular e-commerce shopping cart.
An aggressive reduction in price-from $750 to $399 per URL-based license-complements a wide range of new features in PDG Shopping Cart 2002. The new pricing is part of PDG Software`s initiatives to gain marketshare from competitors.
Since its inception in 1997, PDG Software has continuously refined PDG Shopping Cart. This latest edition of PDG Shopping Cart represents the result of five years of real world application and user feedback.
Designed with the needs of small and medium sized business owners in mind, PDG Shopping Cart 2002 is a complete e-commerce solution-rather than an e-commerce add-on or development tool that requires custom coding. Just as before, all of PDG Software`s great features are still built into the price of the shopping cart, which makes PDG Shopping Cart 2002 a unique value among other products on the market.
PDG Shopping Cart 2002 offers a number of security features including SSL compatibility that allows for 128-bit order processing encryption, as well as password encryption, automatic encryption of sensitive data in configuration files and the option to exclude payment data from the order log and email notifications. As is the case with all PDG Software products, PDG Shopping Cart 2002 is also compatible with GPG encryption software-which can be unencrypted using commercial PGP applications.
"Given our history of producing industry leading e-commerce solutions since 1997, we are very excited about the release of PDG Shopping Cart 2002," said David Snyder, President of PDG Software, Inc. "Now, combined with our aggressive new pricing structure, we plan to capture a new portion of the e-commerce market that was previously forced to settle for the lesser shopping cart solutions offered by our competitors."
PDG Shopping Cart 2002 is the latest version of PDG Shopping Cart. Just a few of its new features include store builder templates, user defined product data fields, support for Boolean searches, virtually unlimited pricing categories (tiered pricing), product upselling, IP tracking, on-screen help, and an import/export database tool. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 also includes the core PDG Shopping Cart features-including easy installation and set up; a web-browser administrator interface; affiliate tracking; inventory tracking; Microsoft FrontPage®, Macromedia Dreamweaver®, Macromedia Dreamweaver Ultradev®, and NetObjects Fusion® web development components; and compatibility with the UPS OnLine® Tools. PDG Shopping Cart operates on multiple server platforms including Microsoft Windows NT®, Microsoft Windows® 2000 as well as multiple versions of UNIX. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 can be downloaded for a free 30-day evaluation from the company`s web site at www.pdgsoft.com-or through technology partners including global Internet Service Providers (IPPs) and web designers.
