Hong Kong, September 10, 2004 – Linmark, a Hong Kong headquartered global sourcing and supply chain management provider for leading retailers in US, Europe, and Asia, has integrated EDISPHERE with it's own distributed Order Management System, "LOGON", which is used to connect Linmark offices across 25 countries.

Linmark selected EDISPHERE after evaluating other EDI software products and also considering EDI outsourcing option to EDI VANs. “EDISPHERE is a very robust and feature rich product in the EDI arena", says Sidney Hui, IT Director of Linmark. "It enables a fast and economical way of implementing EDI solutions with our customers and vendors."

"We in Linmark were looking for any to any converter and compared EDISPHERE with other products in terms of cost, functionality and time for deployment.  We found EDISPHERE to be better in all the areas. Moreover its EDI capabilities are far better then other EDI products for Semi Complex and Complex transformations. We were able to complete the first delivery within 1 month which would have taken more time and money with any other EDI product ", says Vikrant Rathore, Senior Systems Administrator of Linmark.

"Integrating LOGON with EDISPHERE at only their central server in Hong Kong and then using their own distributed OMS to spread the benefits of EDI across all its offices in 25 countries, I think is a very smart IT architecture of Linmark", says Ajay Sanghi, CEO of EDISPHERE Software. "In spite of it's vastness, implementing EDISPHERE at Linmark was very smooth because of their very pro-active IT team, enjoying very strong backing of their management"
