PALO ALTO, CA - June 27, 2000 - Noosh, Inc., (www.noosh.com)
a leading provider of online supply chain communication and collaboration
solutions for managing enterprise communications such as print,
packaging, electronic media, creative services and direct mail,
today announced that it has added significant time and cost efficiency
enhancements to its noosh.com service. The new enhancements continue
to position Noosh as a leading collaborative commerce provider of
Internet-based solutions for businesses seeking to streamline workflow,
improve communications and enhance relationships among internal
team members and outside vendors.
By providing a centralized online workspace, noosh.com enables everyone
involved with a complex, multi-step project - including designers,
agencies, corporate buyers, printers and direct mail houses - to
work together by sharing essential information. Noosh.com enables
users to share project requirements, schedules, task lists and the
latest message and project updates, in real time. In turn, this
allows for informed decisions that eliminate duplicative efforts
and miscommunications which, if otherwise left unchecked, can lead
to significant cost over-runs and production delays.
Some of the nation's premier Fortune 500 corporations such as Bank
of America, GE and Aetna as well as many large, prominent print
providers have turned to noosh.com as their enterprise-wide online
solution for print procurement and production. Today, through noosh.com,
Noosh customers are achieving time and cost efficiencies that they
were unable to achieve previously.
"Noosh has always been very good about listening to Bank of America,
and their incorporation of our enhancement requests has enabled
us to further increase the benefits that we are receiving from the
noosh.com service," said Sue Ward, vice president of commercial
print, Bank of America. "I took the customer-only preview tour of
the latest enhancements and I love the new user interface. Noosh
has also prepared myself and my staff to take advantage of the new
features as they go live."
Key to leveraging noosh.com across the enterprise is the expanded
reporting capabilities. Any executive manager can now identify total
spending as well as trends across a variety of factors. Noosh.com
reporting enables organizations to improve spending practices, consolidate
around quality providers, monitor savings levels and improve accountability
in all aspects of the production and procurement process.
In addition, Noosh has also significantly ramped-up the speed of
access to noosh.com, making it even easier for all members of a
team to utilize the service, regardless of the existing bandwidth
capacity of their connections and remote networks. Furthermore,
a new user interface streamlines navigation for both power users,
with numerous activities, and new users, just starting up with noosh.com.
Other enhancements include functionality for managing envelope procurement,
necessary for all direct mail projects, and supply chain extensions
that link Noosh partner capabilities with noosh.com.
"As a result of close interaction and co-development with our customers,
the noosh.com service has now processed well over $1 million in
transactions on a weekly basis," said Ofer Ben-Shachar, Chairman
and CEO, Noosh, Inc. "With our increased usage, it has become more
important than ever to continue to provide our customers with user-friendly
functions to enhance better performance, usability and functionality."
"We listen carefully to our users and have incorporated more than
30 customer enhancement requests in this latest release," said Matt
Spolin, chief technology officer, Noosh, Inc. "For example, we've
added individual customization of the 'My Desk' main page so our
users can now create a robust personalized page that contains a
message center, job summary, task lists and a calendar. As a result,
noosh.com becomes their personal virtual workspace."
