UPPSALA, Sweden, June 7, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Nocom AB (publ) has signed a contract with SEB pertaining to Verity's solution for advanced search services on the bank's intranet and its approximately 50 Web sites. Besides licenses, support services are also included in the contract. The contract encompasses the entire SEB group, with 630 offices and approximately 20,000 employees in 16 countries.
The choice of Verity is a step in SEB's program for Customer satisfaction, Cross servicing & Cost efficiency. With group-wide search functions, immediate cost savings are achieved at the same time as customers and employees receive substantially improved service. Nocom is delivering a technical solution that enables SEB's customers to easily find the right information in their own languages - Swedish, English, German, Polish, Danish, Norwegian or Finnish. For SEB's employees, the solution entails that the contents of all of the group's file servers become searchable. Verity's technology makes it possible to manage over 200 document types (PDF, Word, etc.).
"This type of investment is increasing on the market. Companies want to gain maximum benefit from their existing systems and all of the information that they contain," said Stefan Skarin, CEO at Nocom.
