The rise was 4.4 percentage points higher than the industry's average growth rate during the 2006-2010 period, according to an MIIT report released at an ongoing forum held in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang.
Manufacturers drive online sales with where-to-buy
Once you know what "where-to-buy" is, you understand why so many people in the industry consider it to be an essential component for manufacturer websites.
If you work for a manufacturer that supports the retail channel, nothing makes more sense than taking ready-to-buy consumers directly from your product page to a retailer "buy page." And if you're a retailer, of course you are thrilled to participate in a program that sends you referrals from shoppers who already expressed a strong interest in a specific product.
You have to see a where-to-buy implementation in order to truly appreciate how it works. So let's look at a few examples of how manufacturers use the technology.
Tripp Lite is a leading manufacturer of products that power, connect and protect computers and other electronics. When you visit a Tripp Lite product page, click on the yellow "check prices" button and you will see CI Boost Where-to-Buy in action.
Visitors to the Black & Decker website are linked directly to retailer buy pages when they click the orange "buy now" button on product pages.
If you want to see additional examples or learn more about CI Boost Where-to-Buy, please feel free to e-mail me. I will put you in touch with one of my colleagues on either the CI manufacturer or retailer team, and we'll explain exactly how your business can benefit from deep-linking technology.

Procurian (former: ICGCommerce) in Europe 19 minutes ago

Peter, I think you have described “The New Procurement” quite well. While we don’t claim to have invented all of these principles, or that each are “new” in their own right, we believe they collectively represent a new standard of excellence that we and indeed all organizations must aspire to in order to meet the needs of businesses today.
With regard to effectively meeting these needs in Europe, we wholeheartedly agree that you can’t rely on experts 3,000 miles away. That’s why we’ve established two solution centers to support Europe – one in London and one in Prague. Across our European centers you would see more than 120 local supply market experts (who collectively speak 21 languages) including dedicated category sourcing, contracting and buying specialists. These experts utilize the same sophisticated tools, information and processes that you saw in the US. We would welcome the opportunity to have you to either office and show you our local capabilities!
Eigentlich waren sie schon einmal in Europa und vor allem in Deutschland positioniert, als sie den Zentraleinkauf von Hoechst übernommen hatten. Diese als HPI firmierende Unternehmung haben sie dann aber wieder abgestoßen - heute ist diese HPI Bestandteil eines neuen deutschen Unternehmens mit gleichem Namen, das aber weit mehr umfasst als die ehemalige HPI. Offensichtlich war Procurian diese HPI zu sehr ein Gemischtwarenladen (eine Meinung, die ich teile), während die beiden neuen europäischen Schaltstellen in London und Prag wohl mit der gleichen Fokussierung arbeiten wie die US-Zentrale. Offensichtlich war man der Meinung, dass die Gründung eigener Fililaen der bessere Weg sei, als die HPI umzuorganisieren.
Wie Ihr vielleicht bemerkt habt, war ich auch schon einmal bei HPI kurzzeitig engangiert, bin dann aber wieder raus, weil ich gemerkt habe, dass die Qualität der Strategie dieses Gemischtwarenladens trotz niedriger Bewertung von der Qualität der Unternehmensstrategie von Procurian (bzw. ICG Commerce) doch (vielleicht aber auch nur noch) weit entfernt ist. Beobachten werde ich da weiter, halte aber momentan Procurian noch für die bessere Alternative.

99.1 Press Release issued April 2, 2012 by ICG Group, Inc.
Acquisition Expands ICG’s Presence in the Government and Compliance Sector
Wayne, PA – April 2, 2012 – ICG Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICGE) today announced that it has acquired MSDSonline Inc. Based in Chicago, MSDSonline offers a suite of cost-effective, cloud-based solutions that help environmental, health and safety (EH&S) professionals more efficiently manage and reduce potential workplace and environmental hazards as part of their overall social responsibility and compliance programs.
ICG paid approximately $48 million for a 96% primary ownership stake, with MSDSonline management owning the residual. MSDSonline was breakeven on approximately $13 million of 2011 revenue and expects 2012 revenue of approximately $16 million, with increased profitability anticipated as it invests for growth.
“The continued growth of MSDSonline’s client base and its high client renewal rate is a testament to the real value that its cloud-based solutions bring to the EH&S market,” said Walter Buckley, CEO of ICG. “We believe this company is a clear leader in a rapidly growing market. It has a compelling value proposition, a solid track record of consistent growth and a very talented management team. The MSDSonline acquisition positions ICG to deliver stockholder value and augments our ability to address the vast market opportunity created by inefficiencies in the public sector and compliance-burdened organizations.”
According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), more than five million facilities in North America handle hazardous chemicals. With increasing regulatory requirements, many of these facilities are looking for ways to more efficiently manage their hazardous chemical compliance needs. Serving an estimated $650 million market, most of which is still paper-based, the MSDSonline solution integrates a robust suite of capabilities that automates material safety data sheet (MSDS) management on one platform. In addition to these core hazardous chemical management features, EH&S professionals can also add regulatory compliance capabilities, such as injury and illness recordkeeping, on-demand workplace training and compliance education tool kits.
OSHA recently announced its adoption of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), which changes the way chemical hazards are required to be classified and communicated to the workforce. As a result, businesses will be flooded with changes to current MSDS documents and labels that must be revised, rewritten and republished to comply with new GHS regulations and the revised hazard communication standard.
“MSDSonline is well positioned to continue to help EH&S professionals utilize technology to streamline their compliance responsibilities and mitigate the risks associated with workplace hazards,” said Glenn Trout, President and CEO of MSDSonline. “Now more than ever, with OSHA’s adoption of GHS serving as an important catalyst, safety professionals in virtually every industry are looking to technology solutions to help manage compliance and ensure the safety of their workforce.”
“We are excited to become an ICG company, as ICG provides extensive expertise in the cloud-based arena and is closely aligned with our vision for continued growth,” added Trout. “Together, we will continue to fuel our mission to provide our customers with innovative EH&S compliance management solutions and the highest quality service to help them operate more cost-effectively.”
ICG’s Government and Compliance Group, which includes GovDelivery and MSDSonline, is comprised of technology companies that serve the government or automate adherence to government compliance regulations. Governments are increasingly seeking more cost-effective solutions to operate and deliver services to their constituents, while government compliance has become increasingly burdensome and costly across industries. Companies that provide cloud-based solutions to automate these complex business processes are delivering compelling savings and efficiencies to enormous markets.
Building out ICG’s Government and Compliance Group will allow ICG to serve a large untapped market and positions the company to leverage its industry expertise and economies of shared resources. Cost synergies between ICG and this group will begin in 2012 and include savings in accounting, insurance, marketing communications, treasury, legal and M&A services. ICG will provide an update to its core consolidated revenue and EBITDA guidance on its first quarter earnings call.
About MSDSonline
Founded in 1996 and based in Chicago, MSDSonline is a leading provider of on-demand EH&S compliance solutions, offering products and services for managing and authoring material safety data sheets (MSDSs), managing hazardous chemical inventories, reporting workplace incidents, training employees and administering other critical EH&S information.
