E-Commerce Times: Linux Provider Unleashes E-Commerce Magic [eMerchant]

“Magic Software… has become a player in the field of
Linux-based e-commerce solutions, debuting its eMerchant product
for the increasingly popular open-source operating system (OS) at
the LinuxWorld Expo in San Jose last week.”

” ‘Magic eMerchant for Linux has the ability to store past
customer orders, as well as present detailed and summarized
versions of a customer’s purchase folders,’ commented [Magic CEO
Jack] Dunietz. “It also can make suggestions based upon a
customer’s past history and a product’s current availability.’

…supports database technologies by Informix and Oracle, and
features transaction processing, order entry and profiling
capabilities along with advanced security features. ‘eMerchant
adheres to all Web Authorization and Control standards (WAC) by
uniquely identifying each customer who logs in, and limiting
application access based upon specific sets of user
criteria’…”

“…integrates with back office systems to reduce the amount of
time required for companies to create an online presence. The
most significant draw… will probably be the fact that it has
tapped into the power and cost-effectiveness of open-source
software. According to industry analysts, an increasing amount
of businesses are choosing Linux over the proprietary code of
Windows NT.”

“Business-to-business and business-to-consumer e-commerce
operations have implemented Magic e-commerce solutions.”
