GE Fanuc elects AssurX's CATSWeb OnDemand Solutions for Corrective Action Request (CAR) System

MORGAN HILL, CA (October 28, 2003) -- AssurX, Inc., today announced that SBS Technologies, Inc., has selected AssurX's CATSWeb Hosted Solutions for their Corrective Action Request (CAR) system initially to be used by three facilities including St. Paul, MN, Mansfield, MA and Newark, CA. SBS Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, manufactures components and systems that meet the computing needs of a wide range of industries, from telecommunications to medical electronics, industrial automation to defense.

According to Philip Frawley, Quality Coordinator for SBS Technologies, "We selected CATSWeb because we needed a system to streamline our corrective action request process. We decided the hosted solution was our best option because we didn't need to dedicate internal IT resources to this project. With AssurX's hosted solutions, we don't have to worry about software upgrades or any maintenance. Plus, their service and support have been exceptional."

"Many companies already have strained IT resources, and that's why we decided several years ago to offer our customers the option of either purchasing a CATSWeb system or hosting it for them. With our flexible delivery options, we can provide companies such as SBS Technologies with quality tracking solutions that can be deployed very quickly with minimal effort." said Tamar June, Director of Marketing for AssurX, Inc. SBS Technologies currently has over 150 employees in three facilities accessing the system.
