E-Business Breakfast: Fusive Rolls Out Royce

At www.roycefunds.com, current and potential clients of the investment fund will be able to get investment news and fund prices and compare daily, monthly and quarterly performance.

Executives at Fusive, a Deerfield Beach, Fla.-based solution provider, say one of the Royce Funds' goals was to be able to incorporate data from a variety of sources to create a daily go-to point for Royce Funds clientele. The folks at Royce Funds, executives said, also appreciated Fusive's focus on solutions for the financial services industry.

Good morning! It's Wednesday, May 16th, and this is Amy Rogers with CRN's E-Business Breakfast.

Kurant, Sabre In Deal

San Francisco-based Kurant, whose StoreSense bundle includes e-commerce software and services, said it recently inked a deal with Sabre Pacific Systems.

Sabre, which provides electronic billing and payment services in Asia, will offer the StoreSense package to customers in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

Still Hiring

Another private e-business integrator says it's still hiring, despite the current economy.

Houston-based Iconixx this week said it will hire at least 16 staffers in roles ranging from network engineer to senior sales executive.

The company won't disclose revenue but said it surpassed its first quarter revenue goals.

Just a sampling of the technical folks who have signed on with Iconnix: James Clemenko was hired as an interface developer, Meg Cole as an information architect, and Robert Brown as supervising consultant. Keith Ashworth, Mack Miller and Gwen Mitchell are the latest members of Iconixx's sales team. And things must be looking up when you take on another recruiter; Iconnix's newest is Liz Martin.

That's your E-Business Breakfast for Wednesday. Are there other signs that the economy is turning around? I'm eager to hear them; e-mail me at arogers@cmp.com.
