PETALUMA, Calif. -- Cyan today announced the opening of CyStore, an online B2B marketplace, another addition to Cyan's software-enabled business service management portfolio. CyStore is an e-commerce portal that streamlines and simplifies the procurement process for Cyan's customers and network administrators, making it even easier to purchase equipment, software, and services from Cyan and third-party suppliers around the world.

CyStore lets customers search for and select from hundreds of products, allowing them to quickly find and order the solutions they require. CyStore integrates Cyan's cloud-based network planning resources and customer relationship management (CRM) systems, allowing customers to receive immediate price quotes that are consistent with their existing contracts. Depending on the customer's purchasing policy, CyStore users can either purchase products directly or generate a purchase request that is automatically routed for approval.

"CyStore is a perfect example of how Cyan focuses on total solutions and partnerships. It also illustrates the ease of doing business with Cyan," stated John Greene, chief network architect, Great Plains Communications. "Not only is Cyan improving the way we build and operate our networks, now they're helping us optimize our business processes in order to better serve our own customers. CyStore's automated routing and approval process accelerates our ability to select, purchase, and deploy equipment, improving the speed of our business, while reducing effort and back-office delays."
