ANN ARBOR – Techstreet has upgraded its web site to make it easier for its customers to find the technical documents the company offers much faster. The enhancements include new vertical industry stores, more options for browsing industry standards and an upgraded graphical interface.
Future site enhancements will include new purchasing options for corporate customers that want to share documents among their employees. Techstreet offers a Web-based subscription service for custom sets of industry standards.
Our re-designed Website gives customers two new ways to browse for standards, said
Gregg Hammerman, Director of Operations and Technology at Techstreet. Six new industry stores are listed in an easy-to-use tab format across the top of the page and a new Browse Catalogs drop-down box is conveniently located on the left. Industry stores contain the most important standards for any given industry, including regularly updated standards, new releases, newly revised documents, pre-published versions, and related industry content. The new drop-down box provides super-fast browsing of over 70 different catalogs from standards developing organizations around the world. Weve also updated to a new graphical interface that uses space more efficiently and better matches the common look and feel of other Thomson Corporation businesses Websites.
Last August, Hammerman and his business partner, Andrew Banks, sold Techstreet to Thomson for an undisclosed sum. The company was on a 2003 run rate of about $4 million at the time of the sale. The entire Techstreet staff remained in place to manage the business, as did Hammerman and Banks.
Thomson, with 2003 revenues of $7.6 billion, provides integrated information solutions to business and professional customers.
