Wayne Aiello
Vice President of e-Business
Corporate Express
"When we go out and present to new customer prospects and they see our catalog they know that it's really state of the art and top of the line, so it absolutely has given a strategic advantage."
"One of the challenges we have with e-commerce is we have upwards of 500,000 items. So being able to manage all that data has really been a key strategic priority for Corporate Express. We had invested a couple years ago into IBM Product Center to help us manage the data. And what Endeca's allowed us to do is bring that data forward, take all the information that we're able to store in this master database, and actually present it in a very, very usable way for the end user."
