overview:
bg2go is the only directory management platform that can take data and graphics directly from your customers and prepare it for display both on the Internet and in your print directory. bg2bo can also be fully-customized by your Web team, giving you a truly custom solution at a shrink-wrapped price.

bg2go is completely self-service. Companies can sign up to be listed in your directory, update their listings, change categories, and even purchase enhancements in both the print and online editions of your directory using bg2go's integrated credit card processing software. You maintain control over what gets listed in your directory, all the while making it easier for companies to do business with you.

You can even create custom questions, such as product-specific features or category-specific variables, using a simple, web-based interface. You can change the look and feel to match your Web site, change the category structure, change pricing options, even add complex parametric data points, all without without any programming.

bg2go's unique configuration capabilities–using Web-based interfaces and text-only configuration files means anyone involved in the directory creation process can change the look and feel or function of the application with no additional programming required.

Our unique output engine supports both QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign, so no matter what platform you choose in the future, your investment in bg2go will be protected. No other directory software package gives you this level of sophistication at any price!

case study:
New Hampshire-based Helmers Publishing, Inc. launched two online directories using bg2go. Their outside Web consultant selected bg2go from a number of possible platforms, then implemented the directories online with little more than basic telephone support from GCN. Helmers produced their first printed directory using bg2go. The company’s production department used bg2go’s extensive style sheet capabilities to format and export data from their online directory into QuarkXPress.
