Excellis Business Consulting has announced the new release of its Web2i Commerce^™ solution platform.

The new Web2i Commerce^™ release, called Empowered, addresses the significant market gaps in the availability of relevant, affordable and effective business solutions for micro and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Web2i Commerce^™ is designed and developed in the UK and EU, and is financed entirely by private sector investors, with Excellis Business Consulting as a majority stakeholder.

The new Empowered release incorporates innovations across a whole spectrum of business, sales and marketing features and functionality. Many of the features are designed to radically simplify the processes and commercial models for successful execution of profitable e-Commerce and e-marketing strategies in organisations of all sizes and in multiple industry sectors.

Also, a Community version of the Web2i Empowered^™ platform is currently in soft-launch phase. It will provide businesses - in particular SMEs - easy and readily available access to cloud computing features. Hence, eliminating the need for upfront capital investments and/or annual recurring costs that often amount to five or six figures (in Euros).

The Web2i Empowered^™ Community version will have no initial capital investment costs. And most customers will only incur annual recurring costs in the three figures range (in Euros), on average.

Conversely, for service and solution providers, Web2i Commerce^™ also minimises the high cost of sales, customer support and service normally associated with technology based services and solutions. Hence, Web2i Commerce^™ offers a more commercially attractive value proposition for partners and collaborators in our ecosystem.

Since 2007, Excellis Business Consulting has been establishing synergistic business ecosystems for SMEs through an innovative triple-pronged approach that encompasses Service + Solution + Business Network dimensions.

Excellis Business Consulting's unique approach and innovative thinking in the 'social commerce' arena has already attracted a significant level of interest in the global technology and digital media sectors; with many high profile retailers and online start-ups embracing the approach.
