Enfinity Chosen by UK-based Williams Lea For E-Procurement

Jena, Germany - January 10, 2006 - Intershop Communications (Prime Standard: ISH2), has been selected by UK-based Williams Lea, a leading business process outsourcing company specialising in Corporate Information Solutions, to utilize Intershop's Enfinity as its e-procurement solution.

The new solution is designed to integrate client-facing activities with back-office finance and management information systems, thereby creating a supply chain system that supports buying, sending orders to suppliers, recording the financial transactions for supplier payments and client billing and providing all the management information around this activity.

Intershop partner Crimsonwing developed an e-procurement solution which Williams Lea branded Immedia. This is built on the Intershop Enfinity platform and Procurement Channel to deliver all forms of procurement practised by Williams Lea in a single solution. Besides the sophisticated standard catalogue-based purchasing which features priced and 'to be priced' items, the solution also allows for the sourcing and commissioning of bespoke marketing print projects.

With its new e-procurement solution up and running, Williams Lea has been able to deliver all of its purchasing activity on a single platform, now integrated to their back-office finance and management information systems. All of the functionality is in live daily use on over 60 of Williams Lea's client sites.
