ePages Provides the Platform for Pretec’s E-Business Initiatives

Taipei, Taiwan, March 13, 2007– Pretec Corp., a leading manufacturer and direct retailer of leading storage devices announces the launch of its new Website www.pretec.com. The site is intended for consumers and channel partners worldwide to view its newest products, register for informative newsletters, become a registered member, suggest interesting products to friends and business associates, and read about the latest news and events.

“The large banner on the homepage and focus on the interaction between people and our products give our Website the edge in a competitive market,” says Sally Hsuan, Marketing Manager at Pretec Corp.

“One of the special features of the site is the horizontal scroll bar allowing customers to visually select products without using the top or side navigation. The site is easy to use and easy to maintain. ePages is exactly what we are looking for to help us extend our Web presence to future B2C and B2B initiatives,” says Ms. Hsuan.

The site is based on ePages 5.03 Merchant Pro and is available in English and will cater to Pretec’s consumer customers in North America and Europe. New releases of the site in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and German are underway. Future plans to engage in direct B2C selling and possible channel management are under discussion. The site was implemented by ePages’ Taiwan distributor, D2C2 Taiwan Limited.

“Pretec is a forward-thinking company that understands that marketing consumer electronics should emphasize more on lifestyles rather than the manufacturing process. Setting up a multi-channel solution like ePages allows Pretec the extensibility and scalability to move forward with their long-term e-business objectives,” states Joseph Lee, Executive Vice President for D2C2.

“As a combined team, ePages and D2C2 helped our company go from a boring Web presence to a next generation dynamic Website that is easily manageable from the back-office. Customer, product, and content data can be revised easily and gives us the flexibility to move forward with our B2C initiative at any time,” says Ms. Hsuan.
