ExpandIT Internet Shop Standard contains the basic tools necessary to integrate web-applications with administrative systems. This includes a basic Internet Shop web-application, a user-friendly maintenance tool designed for non-technical staff, and connectors to a number of administrative systems. Connectors are delivered out of the box for synchronized integration but are also available in online and online-on-demand versions. The business information presented in the ExpandIT Internet Shop Standard is maintained in the administrative system and is therefore identical with the business information used by the rest of the organization. The business transactions performed in the web-applications are entered into the existing business processes, which enable you to benefit from the existing control and audit mechanisms.

ExpandIT Internet Shop comes with ready-made integration code-examples for:

Most businesses are reluctant to expose their entire administrative system to an e-commerce solution. With ExpandIT Internet Shop only the necessary sub-set of business information from the administrative system is used in the web-application and most confidential information never leaves the administrative system.

In the Catalog Manager you can select which items you want to make available for sale on the Internet. This information comes from your existing systems and,  in the ExpandIT Internet Shop Professional, you can add to this information to make the items more attractive to the customers. Only the relevant sub-set of business information is synchronized and made accessible to the customers in your Internet Shop.

There is no way hackers can gain access to confidential information in the ExpandIT Internet Shop Professional because it is simply not there.

The interface of Catalog Manager is designed for non-technical staff based on common known Windows functionality.

E-commerce customers will generally stop using a web-shop if it is slow, unavailable, or if the order confirmation from the administrative system is late/not sent.

ExpandIT Internet Shop Standard can have high availability and excellent response times at the lowest possible cost because it can be hosted at an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A good ISP will offer different service levels with regards to both response times and availability.
