DENVER — As expected, Sterling Commerce today unveiled a suite of integrated electronic commerce and supply chain fulfillment applications that is aimed at helping manufacturers automate the bulk of the inquiry-to-cash selling and fulfillment lifecycle. The product, called the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Suite, represents a repackaging and expansion of e-commerce and supply chain applications that Sterling has acquired over the past 18 months. The suite, unveiled today at Sterling's annual Customer Connection conference here, includes supply chain management applications obtained early last year in its acquisition of Yantra; transportation management applications from its 2006 purchase of Nistevo; and electronic commerce selling and marketing applications, the spoils of Sterling's $155 million acquisition of Comergent Technologies Inc. last year. The Selling and Fulfillment Suite combines those applications on top of a common service-oriented architecture, linking them through a set of pre-defined workflows, said Cory Wiegert, Sterling's vice president for applications product management.
