Mamut launches initiative for SME resellers

Mamut and Brigantia have entered into an agreement in order to leverage on core competencies and the companies joint offering to the SME sector. The agreement consists of joint sales and marketing activities towards the SMEs, as well as a solution to further improve the business processes of Brigantias own members with Mamut Business Software. The cooperation is part of the value added services in the Small Business Concierge initiative from Mamut and Microsoft.

In June, Mamut and Microsoft Corporation jointly announced the Small Business Concierge initiative, a collaborative programme with the ambition to offer complete business software solutions for small businesses in Europe with up to 50 employees.

As part of Small Business Concierge initiative to integrate user-friendly business software, with added-value services at a price to meet the unique needs of the small businesses, Mamut and Brigantia Group members will promote each others solutions and products to partners, existing and potential customers.

Covering UK

In their joint approach, Mamut and Brigantia Group members will be able to support small businesses in the UK through the Brigantia network of more than 500 business units. The combination of Brigantias knowledge of the local small businesses and the mutual strong relationship with Microsoft in the UK give the combined offerings from Mamut and Brigantia a real edge on functionality, price and knowledge services to the small business community in the UK.

All inclusive business solution

Mamut Business Software (MBS) is an all inclusive business solution that helps small organisations to operate more effectively by focusing on sharing information, maximising efficiency, lowering costs and increasing revenue. Mamut is continuously developing the product portfolio with all inclusive solutions already consisting of CRM, sales force automation, accounting and e-commerce.

The strategic alliance with Brigantia and its group members will offer unique and exciting opportunities for both Mamut and our customers as we are exclusively focused on the SME sector. We believe that this agreement will give our potential and existing customers even more confidence in us to meet their daily needs and requirements today and into the future, says Alan Moody, Regional Director of Mamut Software Ltd.

A special version of Mamut Business Software for Brigantias members will also include a complete Helpdesk solution for improved customer sales and support processes in every organisation. Mamut and Brigantia will jointly invest to improve software tools, marketing material and support services for their mutual customers.

As Iain Shaw, Director of Brigantia says, Mamut Business Software fulfils an obvious gap in the market place for SME businesses in that when combined with Microsoft Office 2003 it provides the complete solution for all a businesss day to day software requirements. Our confidence in the product is reflected in that we are embracing the software ourselves across all business functions in the processes removing the need to keep multiple separate databases and separate bookkeeping software. The ability to share information seamlessly within the business is an absolute winner and I expect to see the product selling well to the SME customers of Brigantia Group members nationally.
