"Scribe takes the pain and ambiguity out of data integration, allowing our clients to focus on creating a relevant ecommerce experience for their customers."

Scribe continues to experience more than a 10 fold public sector revenue growth year to date 2012 versus 2011, fueled by new data integration deployments across several large federal government agencies, both civilian and non-civilian. Also contributing to this growth is the further adoption of Scribe technologies in not only single departments of state agencies, but entire agencies within a state, and in some cases, entire state adoption of Scribe for data integration needs.

"Government agencies must replace costly legacy systems, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides a faster, more cost effective approach than custom development," said Timothy McCaffrey, vice president of operations for InfoStrat. "Data migrations and systems integrations are often fraught with peril and Scribe makes data migration and integration go more smoothly, resulting in an average cost savings of 20-30 percent -- and an ease of use that will help agencies maintain these new systems in the future."

Additionally, Scribe announced the Scribe Accelerate CRM Integration program for small to medium-size businesses. An exclusive group of Scribe Online partners will help SMBs realize the full value of their CRM implementations through rapid data integration with other business applications, including accounting, compensation and email.
