MINNEAPOLIS - Oct. 18, 2007 - Four51 has partnered with Vision33, a full-service IT consulting firm and an SAP gold partner, to provide development, sales, implementation and customer support services for the new Four51 Edition for SAP Business One. The Four51 Edition, unveiled yesterday at the Print Solutions Conference in Las Vegas, is a single integrated application that joins the business-management functionality of SAP Business One with Four51's Web-based print procurement network.
 Vision 33 is working with Four51 to complete the integration of Four51's e-commerce platform with SAP Business One. Vision 33 works exclusively with the SAP Business One platform and has extensive experience in working with small and midsize businesses, the target market for SAP Business One and for the Four51 Edition.
"So many small and midsize businesses suffer from problems related to inefficiency and software systems that create more problems than they solve," said Tim Brown, product manager for Vision 33 who is leading that company's work with Four51. "The Four51 Edition for SAP Business One directly addresses those issues by consolidating the entire customer lifecycle into a single application. It makes people and companies more productive and helps them understand how the business can grow."
Four51 has also formed a group of nine beta partners for additional testing and development support for the Four51 Edition. Prograde, a print distributor in Cincinnati will serve as Four51's alpha partner to test the earliest version of the application. Once the Four51 Edition is ready for further use and testing, the beta partners will provide additional feedback and help tailor the application to fit the needs of print distributors.
"Our alpha and beta partners will be instrumental in steering the features and functionality of the Four51 Edition for SAP Business One," said Rich Landa, Co-founder & President, Solutions at Four51. "The depth and diversity of the group will help us meet the most specific requirements and demands of the print distribution business."
