Seco Tools Provides Customers with New Online Web Shop with the Help of Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
Engineering company Seco Tools AB, improves its services towards the increasing number of online store users by collaborating with management and IT consulting firm Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Sverige AB to develop a new and modernized web shop.
6 March 2002
Seco Tools, one of the world’s leading producers of cemented-carbide tools for chipforming machining operations, today offers 15 000 products in a global customer web shop named Seco Online Store. The web shop is available in nine different languages and is used by a growing group of clients. In Sweden and the Nordic area, the store is used by about 30 percent of the Seco Tools’ customers. At the request of many of the company’s clients, Seco Tools has now decided to improve its eCommerce activities and has chosen to close down the now existing programme version of the web shop, to extend services towards customers. It is Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Sverige AB (CGE&Y) that has been assigned to migrate the present store to a new technical platform - WebSphere - developed by IBM. CGE&Y will also be involved in the enhancement of the web shop.
“We can clearly state that a growing number of our clients wishes to use eCommerce solutions. To be able to offer this growing group of clients a continuous first-class online service, we have decided to create a more efficient and attractive web shop and to improve support and the current operational environment. The new technical platform will be an important part of the on-going IT development at Seco Tools. The breadth, security and delivery ability that Cap Gemini Ernst & Young offers was decisive in our choice of partner”, said Johan Eriksson, Project Manager at Seco Tools”.
“Our primary goal is to create double customer value, in other words value for both Seco Tools and its clients. This is happily also one of the first Swedish results of our new and global alliance with IBM”, said CGE&Y Business Executive Percy Johnsson
The new web shop is planned to be up-and-running in May 2002. Enhancement will follow gradually, when need arises.
