Auros has the e-Commerce - X Factor!
Exradia chooses Auros to support major global product
launch!
Exradia is bringing to market an exclusive and
unique solution to neutralise, at source, the potential harming
biological effects of radiation. 
The solution is to be applied to mobile phones, wireless
networks and other electronic devices and has taken 15 years of
independent Research and Development into the increasingly talked
about topic of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF).
With this innovative product, Exradia can offer users of
technological devices peace of mind that they are protected from
the risks of EMF.
The partnership with Auros will enable Exradia to boost their
online presence, which has a critical role to play in this major
21st century product launch. Namely Auros
will:
- Redevelop Exradia's web presence specifically to deliver
enhanced content, including interactive elements and video
- Launch an online shop, using the Auros developed Immediacy
eCommerce module, initially to market the Exradia product
line in the UK, but later worldwide
- Provide long-term website support and hosting, and ongoing
development of Exradia's internet presence.

Medical Group acknowledges Auros is No. 1
Transform Medical, the latest addition to Auros'
prestigious client list, have chosen Auros to deliver their new
public facing internet presence, including flash rich navigation
and Clickstream driven content personalisation.
Auros is ecstatic about this win and the opportunity to work
with Britain's largest and most popular cosmetic surgery group.
Transform have treated more than 150,000 patients during the
group's 30 year history.
Simon Booth, Transform Medical's Online Marketing Manager, was
particularly taken by Auros' responsiveness towards Transforms'
needs:
"When we found ourselves in the unenviable
position of having a key supplier in liquidation, we needed to
quickly find a capable new partner who could be highly responsive
to our business needs. Having already made a commitment to the
Immediacy
CMS
, we
assessed the 50 strong Immediacy partner list and identified one
that stood 'head and shoulders' above the rest.
This assessment was further reinforced by both a
strong recommendation from Immediacy themselves and Auros' highly
responsive approach. These factors, coupled with Auros'
comprehensive Immediacy track record, resulted in the realisation
that there really was only one choice - Auros."

Control Techniques favour Auros to implement their global web
presence
Auros can today announce they have been contracted
to deliver a new global web presence for Control Techniques.
Control Techniques is a subsidiary of the Emerson Group which
operates in 150 countries globally, and is one of the world's
leading suppliers of drives, servos, controls, drive systems and
motors. After a lengthy procurement process, the long-listed
suppliers were vigorously whittled down to a deciding duo, with
Auros finally clinching the deal.
Not only will Auros be supplying a new public facing website
based on the Immediacy Content Management System, but also a
cutting-edge document-download facility, for the benefit of
customers and supplier alike. Auros will design and build a system
to allow registered members to easily locate and download detailed
product and support information, whilst retaining a detailed record
of their requirements and activities. The incorporation of a
workflow system into the tool will aid the ongoing sales and
marketing process, alerting staff to potential customer needs.
Auros’ Business Development Manager, Robin Smith, commented:
"Creating a new product that has the scope to improve a range
of business performance areas within a major firm such as Control
Techniques reaffirms Auros’ position as a leader in the arena of
implementing value adding web solutions".
