The cloud-based on-demand Sage SalesLogix software will be available in North America the first half of 2010, with worldwide availability to follow.

According to the
press release, SalesLogix provides “a complete view of customer interactions across sales, marketing, customer service and support so teams can collaborate and respond promptly and knowledgeably to customer inquiries and sales opportunities”.

All current and future Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) customer accounts are enabled to use Amazon VPC, but customers will not be charged for Amazon VPC until they begin using it.

Via VPN, EC2 users can now extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their AWS resources, Amazon says.

“Like all services offered by AWS, Amazon EC2 running Windows Server or SQL Server offers a low-cost, pay-as-you-go model with no long-term commitments and no minimum fees,” Amazon Web Services (AWS) says.
