Intershop and Otto Group enter into comprehensive master agreement
- Order is worth several million euros over three years
- Otto Group to acquire flexible Enfinity Suite 6 license
- Intershop to provide wide range of services
Jena, March 27, 2008 – On March 27, 2008, the Otto Group and Intershop Communications AG signed an agreement on a Group license for Otto and its affiliated companies as well as services with a total value in the single-digit million range over three years.
Otto has successfully used Intershop software as the Group’s e-commerce platform for 8 years. The master agreement makes it easier for the Otto Group to expand its system that runs on Intershop Enfinity Suite 6 to other subsidiaries, as well as to smaller, innovative e-commerce concepts.
The agreement creates a new framework for the provision of Intershop’s consulting, support, online marketing, and training services. In particular, the long-term consulting services agreement means that a team of well-trained and experienced Intershop experts is now available to Otto at all times, and can be expanded at short notice if necessary.
At the same time, Otto will operate its own installation of Intershop’s Customer Information Center with the support of Intershop experts. Technical analyses, statistical evaluations of user behavior in online shops, and reports on online business will therefore be available to Otto’s responsible specialists at all times.
The new master agreement has demonstrated Intershop’s role as a strategic supplier and partner of the Otto Group in the area of e-commerce.
