IT Group Develops Online Presence for Country’s Top Luxury/Lifestyle Brands Retailer

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES, February 26, 2009. IT Group, Inc., an enabler and partner of businesses for service innovation, is proud to announce the completion and launch of a new website for SSI Group, Inc.

SSI Group, Inc. or SSI, is the leading retailer of luxury/upmarket fashion and lifestyle brands in the Philippines. It has the largest and choicest brand portfolio and the largest network of retail outlets all over the country—numbering over 50 brands, over 250 free standing and shop-in boutiques, totaling over 250,000 square feet of prime retail space. Early last year, the company decided to set up and develop its own presence on the Internet. It turned to IT Group for help.

Within a few weeks the website was developed. The site was designed to showcase the breadth of SSI’s considerable brand portfolio—and also provide partners and customers a window into the latest acquisitions, marketing initiatives and news from the company. Recently the website was chosen as a Finalist for the 11th Philippine Web Awards, in the SME category. The Philippine Web Awards celebrate the best of Filipino-designed websites on the Internet.

“It is truly an honor for us for our work to be chosen as being among the best on the web” according to Mr. Jorge Dollisen, Division Manager of IT Group’s CRM practice. “But more than awards, our goal for the website is really to enhance SSI’s brand by helping them extend their presence online and reach new partners and customers for the company.”
