Online Wine Auction Site Grows Revenue by 10% With Comprehensive Portal Solution

Overview

To improve customer service and employee productivity WineBid.com needed to replace its outdated IT infrastructure, including a UNIX-based auction engine. Determining that Linux was too risky, the company chose to standardize on the Microsoft Enterprise Portal Framework to create, customize, and maintain two portals - an employee portal and a Web auction portal. It also deployed Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains to integrate with a new wine database and the auction engine. Using their portal to collaborate and access data, employees are saving 100 hours a month, providing better customer service, and making better business decisions.
