Introduction to the Solutions Catalog

This on-line Solutions catalog is a self-service feature for VARs that wish to publish their wares to the world. It enables them to create web pages about their companies and solutions that can be searched by visitors to our web site.

Each page of the Solutions catalog contains a search engine which selects specific solution categories.

The search options are:

• a market segment (Retail, Telco, Banking, Entertainment, Government...) 
• a region (Europe Middle East Africa, Latin America, USA & Canada...)
• a country (England, France, Germany, México, USA...)
• a company name
• a keyword (ERP, Web, HP UX, Spanish...)

A company may create separate entries for multiple solutions.
The content is created and managed by the VAR and validated by the local Four J's office before being published.
