Collabridge Technologies, Inc. Announces $3 Million in Additional Funding
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., August 24, 2001 - Collabridge Technologies, Inc., a
leader in optimizing E-Business system performance to improve ROI for global
vendors, announced its $3 million second-round financing, led by Draper
Fisher Jurvetson. This round brings total funding for Collabridge
Technologies to $8 million.
Collabridge Technologies optimizes E-Business system performance by
extending a vendor`s existing E-commerce, eCRM, Business Analytics and Sales
Automation functionality directly into the systems of Demand Chain partners
such as resellers and distributors.
"Vendors who have been struggling to make E-Business systems pay off can now
link those systems through their partners to optimize their interactions
with a much larger customer base and generate a better return on their
investments," said Bill Brown, CEO, Collabridge Technologies, Inc.
"Customer-centric vendors will take this approach to managing the Demand
Chain - where often more than 85% of their revenues are generated."
The CollabridgeTM Platform is an E-Business integration hub that connects
vendors to multiple demand chain partners. It can be integrated in a matter
of days, with minimal IT involvement and training. Consequently, vendors
can quickly realize a return on investment from the Platform. The
Collabridge Platform has been successfully deployed for leading
manufacturers including IBM, Iomega, Sharp, NEC Mitsubishi and Seagate.
"By using the Collabridge Platform to deliver better selling and CRM
applications, our customers have increased sales, improved customer
satisfaction and retention, and reduced the costs associated with managing
programs through the channel," CEO Brown concluded. "These are significant
goals of every vendor, especially in today`s tough economic market."
The company is using the funds to continue its market penetration and
technology development efforts, and expects to reach profitability by Q3
2002.
