TAISTech and dcVAST announced a partnership to provide midmarket retailers affordable access to the Oracle Commerce ATG and Endeca Suite, to now include hosting and managed services, while also reducing the overall implementation effort, time to launch and total cost of ownership.

TAISTech's solution provides retailers faster speed to market because much of the functionality is already built into a pre-packaged framework, reducing the average development time from an average of eight to 10 months to between four and six months. dcVAST provides clients an Oracle-hosted-on-Oracle environment with a preconfigured hosting environment that reduces implementation efforts, increases site up-time to a guaranteed 99.999 percent and decreases hosting and maintenance support costs by as much as 30 percent.

"When implementing new ecommerce platforms or upgrading existing ones, retailers are faced with a complex undertaking. By using the Oracle-approved TAISTech Oracle Commerce ATG and Endeca Accelerator for Midmarket and the dcVAST Oracle-based hosting environment, we deliver Oracle-hosted-on-Oracle, providing companies significant cost savings and lower total cost of ownership," said Mike Graziano, vice president of sales and client service, TAISTech.

David Cintron, vice president, managed services at dcVAST, agrees, "Customers want speed to market and cost savings, but they are not willing to sacrifice any reliability or scalability. In addition, the TAISTech/dcVAST solution delivers high performance and peace of mind so customers can focus on their core business."

One of the biggest challenges for midmarket retailers is finding the right solution that not only fits their long-term business growth objectives, but is also affordable and includes the functionalities needed to compete with much larger retailers. This partnership delivers the quality of Oracle's software and hardware through partners who are both Gold members in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. The streamlined processes the two organizations have developed promise a more efficient, affordable and reliable ecommerce solution for midmarket retailers.
