www.furmanite.com - the Next-generation of Customer Service Furmanite Further Solidifies its Reputation as an Engineered Solutions Provider with the Globalization of its Website.
As part of Furmanite's ongoing mission to not just be a vendor, but a strategic partner, the Company strives to provide customers with solutions that utilize the latest and most effective technology. Furmanite is pleased to announce the extension of that commitment to excellence - from plant and pipeline operations to the World Wide Web.
"With these latest enhancements, www.furmanite.com becomes much more than just a marketing tool. It becomes an interactive and integrated portal to our customers," says Jeff Chick, Chairman and CEO of Furmanite. "This website will serve as the cornerstone of Furmanite's expansion and success around the world."
In addition to comprehensive information about the Company's engineered solutions, the website now reflects the globalization of its customer base by providing content and business applications in English, French and German. Additional language capabilities currently in development for deployment later in the year include Chinese, Dutch, and Norwegian.
For customers that use Pressurized Systems Integrity Management (PSI Management) Solution, the website now has the ability to serve as an extranet application - providing immediate access to data and reports anywhere in the world. Finally, the website will serve as a meaningful tool by providing informative case studies, industry news, and targeted access to Furmanite representatives based on the geographic or solution need of the customer.
"Customers will be pleased to know that not only will these enhancements improve their productivity, but that the technology behind this functionality is sound and secure," says Francisco Callegari, Vice President of Information Technology for Furmanite. "The capabilities available on www.furmanite.com will quickly become an integral and value-added tool for Furmanite and its customers."
