Bizzingo Signs Agreement With Sun Enterprises Group Forming Joint Venture to Provide B2B Social Media in China
FLEMINGTON, NJ--(Marketwire - Feb 13, 2012) - Bizzingo, Inc. (
Bizzingo is developing a B2B social media network created specifically for businesses that will allow them to search and find each other easily, while encouraging collaboration through a validated and trusted network. According to the agreement, the two companies will jointly develop and exclusively co-market a Software as a Service (SaaS) delivered product under the "Livebook" brand, customized to Chinese companies. This service will provide Chinese companies a simple, yet rich, set of tools to leverage in their Internet portals, including access via executive mobile devices, extending the value proposition of Bizzingo's core social B2B platform functions. The end product will provide Chinese and U.S. companies a way to connect, market, and collaborate more efficiently.
The business potential for leveraging "Livebook" to build commercial avenues is virtually limitless, according to Bizzingo. In addition, Sun will introduce Bizzingo to potential strategic partners in China, according to terms of the agreement.
"We are thrilled to be working with Sun Enterprises to tailor the Bizzingo platform capabilities for easy adoption by Chinese companies in their global business development efforts, as expressed by the Livebook roadmap," said Douglas Toth, Bizzingo's chairman and chief executive officer. "One of Bizzingo's key goals is to level the playing field for small and midsize businesses. This JV enables us to extend our value proposition globally, by providing access to Chinese manufacturing and sourcing through a highly effective and targeted collaboration platform."
"We look forward to partnering with Bizzingo on the creation of the 'Livebook' application, especially for Chinese companies. Because it will be designed for business, we believe it holds great potential for companies to use social media to expand their opportunities," said Alex Cherepakhov, CEO of Sun Enterprise Group, Ltd.
