LI-COR and EDL Consulting make global orders of biotechnology and
environmental research solutions available 'in the Cloud'




CHICAGO and LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- EDL Consulting, a leading
technology services firm today announced that LI-COR Bioscience's biotech
reagents and consumables and environmental products are now available online
in the Cloud via EDL's CloudCraze eCommerce application. 

Using the Force.com cloud computing development platform, CloudCraze offers an
efficient way to manage the LI-COR eCommerce site for academic, commercial,
and pharmaceutical research teams looking for novel ways to advance the
discovery process. CloudCraze is the first eCommerce application to be listed
on the Salesforce.com AppExchange.

"We simply could not accomplish our business goals with our old site, and it
would have taken years to scale up. We launched two new storefronts, in about
nine weeks, each custom-tailored to different target markets," said Sean
Harrison, LI-COR eCommerce project manager. "Because we have an existing
Salesforce.com CRM system, the integration of our eCommerce data was seamless.
We can now use real-time metrics to guide our future business planning,"
Harrison noted.

"CloudCraze is the culmination of 10 years of our experience building
eCommerce solutions for enterprise clients. We've now extended that experience
into the Cloud," says EDL Consulting CEO, Bill Loumpouridis. "With CloudCraze,
Cloud-based business transactions are now a natural extension of core
enterprise applications," said Loumpouridis.

"In addition, LI-COR's use of CloudCraze in the biotech vertical further
legitimizes the use of the Force.com platform for enterprises in other
industries with complex, sophisticated product portfolios," said Loumpouridis.
