iEnterprises, Inc. (http://www.ienterprises.com) has been named winner of the award for "Outstanding Cross-Industry Solution by an ISV" in the annual IBM Beacon Awards competition, honoring IBM Business Partners for their ingenuity, innovation, customer satisfaction and outstanding achievements in providing business solutions.

iEnterprises is one of the global desktop and wireless customer relationship management (CRM) experts, bringing companies desktop and wireless CRM solutions that achieve their CRM vision and drive success. iExtensions CRM is a robust customer relationship management solution that helps companies across multiple industries more easily, effectively and efficiently manage contacts, leads, projects, products, services, documents, marketing campaigns and other events, sales pipeline, relationships and customer service interactions.

iExtensions CRM uses a broad range of IBM middleware, including DB2, Lotus, WebSphere, and Rational, and can be deployed on IBM System i, System p, System z and System x servers. Implementation of iExtensions CRM typically involves working closely with IBM Global Services.

For publishers of one of the largest-selling magazines in the world, iExtensions CRM now gives them a single, consolidated contact management database with a flexible design that allows them to easily customize data and views. The publisher experienced a more than 100% increase in collaborative information sharing after implementing iExtensions CRM. Organizations across a broad range of industries and geographic locations report similar benefits, including ease of integration, lower total cost of ownership and decreased implementation time.

Judges commented that, "iEnterprises clearly demonstrated value to customers using measureable benefits, and illustrated the customer gains achieved from this multi-industry solution's extensive use of IBM software, hardware, and services." Judges also praised the innovative use of underlying IBM technologies to build a composite application for information integration.
