Welcome to the Plimus e-Business Blog.   Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your valuable day to read about what we have to say.  Hopefully, it will provoke some thoughts and new ideas about how you think about e-Business and e-Commerce.  Perhaps what we write will stir you to respond. That is, after all, the purpose of a blog – to stir discussion and put some thought-provoking ideas out there for you to ponder.  Maybe if we are creative enough, we just might make you smile or laugh.  After all, we like to think of ourselves as a serious but fun-loving group here at Plimus.  In any case, why this blog?   I read somewhere recently that there are over 60 million blogs in existence, and that gave us pause here at Plimus on being clear about why to launch yet another.

In my early Internet days, I used to think that people wrote blogs, articles, newsletters, etc, out of the goodness of their hearts in order to share their wonderful experiences with the rest of us.  While some actually do this, I find the vast majority have some ulterior motive.  I suppose we have one too.  In the spirit of transparency – our motive is fairly simple.  We believe we have some unique perspectives on e-Business and e-Commence that have come from partnering with our customers.  And we want to share them, talk about them, get your thoughts, and learn and grow together.

Founded in 2001, Plimus grew up in the Internet age, and as our customers grew so have we.  The number is continually growing but currently 5,000 e-Commerce vendors and over 50,000 affiliates rely on Plimus as their e-Business platform.  That gives us a unique view of e-Commerce including Financial Management, Copy Protection, Entitlement Management, Traffic Generation, Tracking, Customer Management, Marketing, Promotions, Catalog, and Pricing Management.  We are many voices here at Plimus, so there will be many contributors, and we think this will only add to the richness of the views and content.

So, welcome!  We hope you stay connected.  Blog on and take charge of your e-Business destiny.
