MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/08/09 -- Cast Iron Systems, The #1 SaaS and Cloud Integration Company(TM), today announced that one of its leading customers, AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group (ABSG), a subsidiary of AmerisourceBergen Corporation, has won the InfoWorld 100 Award. Each year, the InfoWorld 100 Awards recognize IT projects that use technology in smart, innovative, creative ways to meet business and technical objectives.

"This year's recipients of InfoWorld's highest honor are shining examples of IT projects undertaken by tech leaders committed to pushing their organizations forward," stated Jason Snyder, Features Editor, InfoWorld. "This year, we named AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group to the list, with an impressive example of how the company overhauled its call center operations, replacing six legacy systems in eight business units with a new platform based on technology from salesforce.com and Cast Iron Systems."

ABSG provides specialty pharmaceutical distribution and related services. The company deployed Salesforce CRM in three of its distribution business units using the Cast Iron Integration Solution to connect the SaaS application with its corporate data warehouse. This has given ABSG's customer service associates immediate access to accurate, real-time data across three business units so it can rapidly resolve issues and respond to customer requests. The company is pushing tens of thousands of records a day through the Cast Iron integration solution into Salesforce CRM to service sales of pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products through the company's ecommerce-enabled call centers.

"AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group is a highly valued customer and we are pleased that the integration project we worked on together is being recognized by the InfoWorld 100 Awards," said Ken Comée, CEO of Cast Iron Systems. "While it's easy to say you're a market leader, real success is measured by the company you keep and this prestigious award won with yet another marquee brand is further proof of Cast Iron's dominance of the SaaS and Cloud integration market."
