USMCOC
TO OFFER NEW SERVICES FOR MEMBER
COMPANIES
We
are pleased to announce that the United
States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce has
entered into a Strategic Partnership
with two fine companies: PurchaseSoft
Inc. a leading provider of
results-oriented, eProcurement software
and Cornerstone Communications Group,
LLC, a highly experienced business
development organization.
Founded
in 1977, PurchaseSoft draws on its
historical expertise to help small to
mid-size businesses meet a comprehensive
range of purchasing requirements. For
its part, Cornerstone Communications
provides business development services
in areas including print/graphic arts,
information technology, financial
services, and government administration.
"This
Strategic Partnership allows the Chamber
to offer our members a cost effective
eProcurement solution, which lets you
gain better control over your business's
procurement process - from requisition
to receiving," said U.S.-Mexico
Chamber of Commerce President Al Zapanta.
Plans
call for the partnership's eProcurement
software to support Chamber programs and
provide real-time assistance for small
to medium-sized member companies to
better consolidate their orders,
negotiate prices, manage inventory, and
track assets. The partnership's combined
resources offer a competitive edge for
businesses, also leveraging their
Internet capabilities so as to engage
with larger numbers of suppliers and
buyers.
Within
the next few weeks, Chamber members can
expect to receive a Request for
Information (RFI) from Cornerstone
Communications. We ask that you respond
to this brief request so as to help us
provide you with the best possible
support for your cross-border business
activities. For further information,
please contact Mr. Gerardo Funes at the
