Thermo Electron Corporation adopts Pindar's Agility for e-publishing

Pindar, a total solutions provider for publishing and print from ink to internet, announced today that Thermo Electron Corporation, leading the world in high-tech instruments, is adopting its Agility catalogue platform for e-Publishing.

Specialized content management solutions are critical for businesses that depend on the effective and timely delivery of their product information. Pindar's Agility was selected by Thermo to enable the capture, management and output of catalogue content.

Keith Bisogno, Director Marketing Services at Thermo said, "ePublishing will enable us to more effectively manage data and rich content, and more efficiently produce multi-lingual and multi-product-line catalogues versus traditional approaches. Whether for print and/or electronic output, Agility will help us deliver better and more targeted catalogues to our sales teams and to our customers."

Andrew Dalton, Pindar's Chief Executive commented, "We have a lot of experience and a proven implementation model which appealed to Thermo. We believe that Agility will present significant cost savings and greater opportunities in print production and product information management for Thermo as part of their e-Publishing strategy". He added, "As experienced by other users, Agility offers a shortened time to market for new products or new product applications, an opportunity for increased cross selling of product lines within Thermo's diverse businesses and the means to rapidly assimilate new acquisitions and product lines".

Agility has the flexibility to expertly operate within different networking platforms prevalent across multiple business facilities and superior pagination tools to provide added-functionality.
