FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OAK BROOK, IL – [May 27, 2009] – Configure One™ www.configureone.com, a leading provider of web-based product configurator and electronic catalog software, today announced that Emerson Network Power—a global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™—selected Configure One’s Concept Enterprise Product Configurator™ after a comprehensive evaluation process.
The company, which provides innovative solutions and expertise in areas including precision cooling, uninterruptible power systems, power distribution, racks and infrastructure management software, plans to aggressively target the SMB IT market using value-added resellers.
“As part of the SMB strategy, we needed a tool that would enable our resellers to easily and quickly configure critical infrastructure solutions,” said Jeff Sturgeon, vice president of marketing and solutions. “The goal is to ensure that our resellers have the tools to be more self-sufficient in developing quotations and supporting documents.”
Emerson Network Power thoroughly researched the configurator market to determine the leading vendors, and created a detailed requirements specification explaining the company’s five-year vision. “We sent the specification to eight vendors and we received six responses,” said Sturgeon. “We invited the six vendors to present their solution and product capabilities.”
According to Sturgeon, Configure One was the clear choice. “We chose Configure One because we felt that the Concept Enterprise Product Configurator™ was the most flexible product, and we could see how it fitted into our overall vision. We had a lot of confidence in the people we met from Configure One. They demonstrated their understanding of the market, and we felt that we were aligning ourselves with a partner that we could trust. We are confident that Configure One will continue to evolve its products to support our vision.”
“We are pleased to add yet another Emerson division to our growing customer base,” said Ron Mouw, vice president, business development for Configure One. “The fact that a market leader such as Emerson Network Power selected Configure One, after a stringent evaluation process, reinforces our claim as a leader in the product configurator market.”
