Rotterdam, NL, December 6, 2010 – Sana Software, manufacturer of e-commerce software, is pleased to announce the new release of its flagship product Sana Commerce. This new release, which is available today, sets new standards when it comes to a seamlessly integrated web store, which is easy to use, quick to install, flexible to extend and most of all genuine. About the new version, Tjebbe van der Vin, Commercial Manager at GAC Business Solutions says: “GAC Business Solutions is always looking for partners that can offer our customers solutions with added value. With Sana’s new e-commerce solution we can offer our customers a professional e-commerce environment, which has been developed based on both our own and customers’ feedback. This shows us that Sana is serious on the partnership they have with us.” Genuine Right from the start, Sana Commerce was built for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This means that the web store’s business logic and business information is real-time processed by Dynamics NAV, providing the huge advantages of simply reusing the effort which was put into the financial system. Therefore operating the Sana web shop does not result in redundant maintenance of e.g. product information and orders, whereas (customer specific) prices and inventory are directly retrieved from Dynamics NAV. Quick Sana Commerce 7.5 delivers a complete, pre-deployed Starter Site which can be deployed in virtually no time. It carries all standard functionality, and is highly configurable when it comes to styling. This way, a turnkey solution can be used while allowing the merchant to apply his corporate identity without the need of a designer or developer. Styles can be stored in themes, using Sana’s new content management capabilities. Flexible Setting up navigation also sets new standards. From Sana’s back-office, multiple navigation ‘trees’ can be defined, using the new ‘dynamic product sets’ defined in Dynamics NAV to define departments within the web shop. Add the multiple page templates which seamlessly cooperate with the category structure and product sets, and you will understand the power of this new release. Easy “It goes without saying that marketers, category managers and content managers will not have to learn Dynamics NAV to be able to manage their store”, says Arno Ham, Sana Product Manager. “They are served by the new, intuitive and web based Sana Commerce back office which was designed to optimally support non-financial roles. The latest rich text (html) editors, our new file browser to upload and maintain images, and the couponing system all adds to the ease of operating this new web store of Sana Commerce 7.5.” Redesign Another major new feature is the complete redesign of the Starter Site. Thanks to this redesign, the out of the box site is very professional and looks great. Using CSS3, the latest graphical possibilities are used to make an astonishing first impression, whilst it is very easy to maintain and define using the new Sana Commerce back office. Certified Sana has put a lot of effort in its quality and completeness. The online help section is improved and extended with a filtering system. This allows users to quickly find their way to the topics they are interested in. The code was revised and improved, allowing our partners to easily extend and customize. Sana Commerce was thoroughly tested by LionBridge, resulting in granting Sana Software the ‘Certified for Microsoft Dynamics’ (CfMD) certificate, Microsoft’s highest standard for partner developed software.
