Sterngold Expands Contract with Web Hosting Provider NaviSite

NaviSite, Inc. (www.navisite.com), a provider of IT Outsourcing and Software On Demand enablement services for middle-market organizations, announced today that Sterngold Dental, a world renowned leader in dental alloys, attachments, implants and restorative systems, has renewed and expanded its contract with NaviSite, extending Sterngold's four-year relationship with the company.

Sterngold first partnered with NaviSite in 2001 to create an eCommerce Web site to reach its widespread customer base.  That Web site required capabilities to handle a vast number of products, frequent order requests and demands for same-day shipping.

Stemming from the success of this project, Sterngold has recently tasked NaviSite with transitioning its existing eCommerce application, OneSoft, to Microsoft Commerce Server.

"We chose to extend our long-standing relationship with NaviSite based on its strong track record and its proven ability as a trusted partner and advisor to us. NaviSite understands our business requirements, and provides us with cost savings and quick deployment," said Gordon Craig, Vice President of Business Development, Sterngold.

"Four years ago, Sterngold found a partner in us that it could rely on, and we're proud to continue that relationship." said Stephen Pace, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, NaviSite.

NaviSite has expertise across Microsoft Business Solutions entire product suite and has tailored solutions for Microsoft CRM, Great Plains, Solomon and Navision as well as Microsoft Commerce Server and Microsoft Exchange.

"The partnership between NaviSite and Sterngold Dental demonstrates the immediate advantages for our customers throughout North America," says Brian Neirby, New England General Manager of Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners for Microsoft Corp.

In addition, NaviSite offers a full range of services including application deployment for applications such as PeopleSoft, Microsoft Business Solutions, Siebel, and Lotus Domino.

Sterngold Dental, LLC is the union of two strong companies with impressive dental histories: APM-Sterngold and ImplaMed. Sterngold was founded in 1897 as a fabricator of precious alloys, and is credited as among the first to produce consistently formulated and alloyed dental casting golds.

Today, Sterngold Dental, LLC continues to build upon a rewarding century-old relationship with restorative dentistry, and is a world renowned leader in alloys, attachments, implants, and restorative systems.
