ISP Business, April, 2001

Mercantec recently introduced PowerCommerce, a suit of software products designed to give ISPs the ability to market e-commerce solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses. PowerCommerce is integrated with e-marketing tools developed by CommerceTone, recently acquired by Mercantec. The suite has a Web-building tool that resides on the server, allowing the user to create sites with an unlimited number of pages without having to download any programs. The suite also has a retail feature that provides a calendar tool, catalog maintenance, back-office management, and one-click modules that add increased functionality to a site.

The company believes that PowerCommerce will be attractive to ISPs for numerous reasons, including its modularity and flexibility. The suite also provides revenue-producing and churn-reducing opportunities, which are important to ISPs.
