MONCTON, NB and MINNEAPOLIS, MN – February 4, 2008 – Integrated enterprise business system provider Data.com International, Inc. (“Datacom”), today announced that Hansen Signs of Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, has contracted with Datacom to implement its dataSIGN Product Suite to manage and streamline its operational and financial resources. Hansen Signs (“Hansen”), a growing custom sign manufacturer, chose dataSIGN to replace their stand-alone accounting software and other paper-based systems because of dataSIGN’s Sign Industry specialization, including complete and fully integrated estimation/quotation functionality and their ability to work with the intricacies of the Canadian Tax Codes. Nick Hansen, VP. of Operations, and his team had been searching for a software solution for almost 2 years.
Hansen signs performed careful due diligence and chose dataSIGN after a few live demonstrations and meetings at The United States Sign Council trade show. Hansen initially thought dataSIGN’s complete and broad solution might be “too much” for his 14 employee company, but realized that dataSIGN could help Hansen Signs grow more effectively and efficiently as they expanded their facility and target market.
“We chose dataSIGN because of it’s online capabilities, it was the most up to date software available for the sign industry” said Hansen, “but equally important to Hansen is that the implementation of dataSIGN represents our commitment to process improvement and the use of best industry practices as we grow our business.”
“Datacom is pleased to add Hansen to its rapidly growing user group that includes sign manufacturers across the U.S. and Canada. dataSIGN continues to prove that a complete solution, properly implemented offers a rapid Return on Investment for Sign Manufactures from a only few employees to over 100 ,” noted Chris Brooks, Datacom’s VP of Business Development. dataSIGN’s Contact Resource Management solution (CRM), fully integrated with all of dataSIGN’s back office modules, provides sign manufacturers with the necessary tools and solutions to achieve world-class performance in sales force efficiencies and in customer and supplier relationships. dataSIGN’s e-mail reminder and task management tools facilitate excellent customer service. dataSIGN’s Quoting and Estimating tools allow for accurate, timely quotations and real-time accountability for comparison of actual performance to estimate. The production calendar and work order inquiry functions are fundamental to any modern sign manufacturer.
