Highlights of Touchtone's demonstration will include the introduction of several new features of Wintouch and hands-on, real-time demonstrations of Wintouch eCRM for booth attendees.
Touchtone will demonstrate Wintouch for WebSphere on a SmartPhone. The Wintouch for WebSphere Portlet Application gives mobile employees access to back end systems, data and enterprise applications from pervasive devices such as PDAs and SmartPhones. Taking Wintouch on the road will allow mobile employees to be more closely connected to the enterprise and the customer, while, at the same time, having access to critical data and information.
The theme of Touchtone's booth this Fall is, "Wintouch eCRM: Your System iTM focused CRM partner for today's stormy business climate.” Being a native iSeries system, Wintouch eCRM offers high quality for low operating costs. A Gartner study found that the iSeries is extremely reliable, with only 5.2 hours of unplanned outages per year, making it 43 times more reliable than a popular competitor. And, among the top three competitors, the iSeries, has the lowest Total Cost of Operation (TCO). Wintouch offers rich CRM functionality, as well as instant access for the user to business critical ERP or other System iTM information such as accounting, production, inventory, or shipping because of its ability to tightly integrate with these applications. Wintouch eCRM offers the reliability and low-operating cost of the iSeries, and, on top of that, they also offer outstanding customer support.
