For Release: January 15, 2010
Cleo Communications and Stonebranch Enter into a Strategic Partnership Focused on B2B Gateway Solutions in VLTrader and Complete Advantage Suite
Helping customers get up and running with new technology solutions quickly, securely, efficiently to realize ROI faster than ever before.
ROCKFORD, IL (Jan. 15, 2010) – Cleo and Stonebranch established a partnership agreement that will result in the creation of a high performance infrastructure solution that saves large enterprises money, helps build lean processes and delivers information faster, more reliably, accurately, securely and quickly. Cleo software is the power behind Stonebranch’s new InfitranB2B solutions set. The Cleo Solutions provided in VLTrader are go-to-market ready and support, enhance and wrap-around Stonebranch’s current offerings seamlessly.
"The Cleo partnership represents a strategic relationship for Stonebranch and provides the key capabilities for our customers - easy to use, rapid implementation, flexible integration options and rich protocol support not available from other organizations. Cleo's focus on the needs of the end user and their trading partners set them apart from other B2B Gateway vendors in the marketplace." -Jon Gatrell, VP, Product Management, Stonebranch
There is growing pressure to quickly solve challenges related to data privacy and protection, collaboration among distributed work forces, simplification of workflows, increased audit trails and integration of data into a variety of systems. The costs to the bottom line, worker productivity and brand reputations are often extensive and distracting. The risk of security breaches, incomplete, inaccurate or unauthorized and unnecessary data transfers can mean costly fines, added storage and processing expenses – not to mention the loss of customers, suppliers and partners.
At the end of the day, getting the right information to the right user at the right time creates positive experiences that keep customers and partners. Whether the “customer” is the end user, a bank branch, medical center, insurance provider or agent, Cleo’s VLTrader and Complete Advantage Suite solutions help send and receive data and information to the right people, at the right time - all in the right format.
“Our partnership with Stonebranch is exciting in that we are able to put the power of our solutions behind the already successful Stonebranch offerings. Both existing and new customers will be able to reap the benefits of a best-in-class B2B Gateway solution that will reduce costs and improve efficiencies allowing them to focus on what they do best.”- Todd Enneking, VP Business Development, Cleo
