A graphical user interface for nontechnical users and an objectoriented software architecture that ran over the Internet. 25 years later and with 60,000 customers, we are the leading provider of cloud-based online shops. It's a success that we want to expand upon in the future", says Wilfried Beeck, CEO of ePages.
