[ClickPress, Wed Jan 24 2007] First B2B, the leading electronic trading integration specialist has had enough of being the industry's best kept secret and has appointed a marketing agency to help raise its profile. First B2B has particular strengths in electronic trading integration with accounting and ERP systems and has many customers in the construction and paper & packaging sectors.

Chairman Richard Ward explains, "We established First B2B in 2001 and since then have developed steadily by organic growth, particularly working with suppliers of back office systems to help their customers meet EDI requirements. We are aware that our offering significantly exceeds that of some of the best known names in electronic trading and with over 400 companies relying on First B2B to link them with their trading partners, involving more than a million transactions per year, we certainly aren't minnows in the sector. Knowing this we felt it was time to shout a little louder about what we do and how well we do it."

First B2B believes that their service outperforms their competitors in many ways, including:
• no software or hardware is required on client premises
• tight service level agreements commit First B2B to short project implementation timescales
• no ongoing AS2 charges
• No charges for changing the message formats or transport method during the contract period
• facility for continuous online visibility of project progress using a dedicated portal for each customer

Richard Ward continues, "We operate in an industry where vendors claim to be able to do everything and unfortunately don't always deliver. A marketing agency will enable our customers to tell the story of how we have supplied their needs, whilst illustrating, along the way, how we operate and the ways in which we make positive improvements to the usual EDI experience."
