CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic technology consultancy
Inforte Corp. (Nasdaq: INFT) today announced George Sisak has joined the
company as director of its Marketplace Transaction Management (MTM) practice.
Sisak was formerly a director at iXL, an Atlanta-based technology consultancy,
where he was in charge of the eProcurement offering in iXL's eValueChain
Group. He has managed various global IT projects during his career and most
recently directed the launch of a global construction industry marketplace
using Ariba's B2B Commerce Platform.
As director of Inforte's MTM Practice, Sisak leads a team of experts that
implements B2B-focused commerce and community solutions to execute
transactions between buyers and sellers, such as Ariba Buyer for eProcurement
and Ariba Marketplace for digital marketplaces. In his role, Sisak is also
responsible for working in conjunction with Inforte's other practice areas to
deliver digital value chain solutions integrated with other systems.
"Inforte has established a strong reputation in the digital marketplace
industry from its significant knowledge base, recognition as best specialist
by AMR Research(1), and proven integration methodologies and strategic
partnerships with leading companies such as Ariba, i2, Siebel Systems and
Vignette," said Sisak. "I am glad to be working with Inforte to help clients
take full advantage of integrated B2B commerce solutions so that they can
better interact with customers, suppliers and partners."
As a gold-level Certified Ariba Systems Integration (CASI) partner,
Inforte's MTM practice implements and integrates Ariba B2B Commerce Platform
solutions for its clients. One of the first initiatives Sisak has driven is
the development of Inforte's B2B Value Assessment (BVA) for clients needing to
develop strategic ROI-driven B2B roadmaps to both increase revenues and reduce
costs through integrated collaborative commerce solutions. By delivering
value-based phased plans tied to a rigorous economic analysis, Inforte assists
clients in clearly defining their business cases quantifying the benefits of
implementing B2B solutions along their value chains.
"Inforte is focused on creating value for global companies by enabling the
convergence of strategy and advanced technology to help clients sustain
competitive advantage," said Dave Sutton, executive vice president of
Inforte's eBusiness Practices. "George brings to Inforte a wealth of
experience and a keen understanding of how to drive maximum value from B2B
commerce solutions that enables us to develop solid Internet-based B2B,
digital markets and eProcurement solutions that speed up the entire value
chain management cycle and help to deliver strategy, process, design and
technology solutions to our clients quickly and effectively."
