The increasing competitiveness of the global business environment creates a need for companies to strengthen communications with customers, suppliers and other business partners, ecVision's chief executive officer, Thomas Ng, said.

ecVisions develops and integrates Internet-based business-to-business electronic commerce products. Its target client base is major US companies conducting business with Asian supplies, such as clothing manufacturers.

It is based in Kowloon Tong and employs 30.

In this year's awards, the company won a Hong Kong Industrial Technology Centre Corporation, Technological Achievement Award for its XpressCommerce electronic commerce product.

The suite of software tools and framework facilitates secure business document exchange among companies. Put simply, the product helps buyers to implement applications that can be used by their suppliers to satisfy their supply chain management requirements.

Effective supply chain management and the exchange of accurate information in a secure, timely manner are prerequisites for any successful business partnership, Mr Ng said.

'Basically, what we are trying to do is to enable our US clients create a paperless business environment, where contact with their Asian suppliers is conducted entirely electronically. That streamlines operations and ensures efficiency.' Mr Ng has more than 15 years of IT experience gained in the United States, Britain and Asia.
