FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KorTerra, Inc. Introduces New Web Based Product: KorWebMinneapolis, MN – June 27th, 2005 – KorTerra introduced today a new product to their line-up, KorTerra® KorWeb. KorWeb is an internet application built utilizing KorTerra’s 14 years of damage prevention experience and the most current technology to process One Call Locate requests. KorWeb is a web based internet product which was developed in response to changes in the One Call industry and locating organizational needs.
KorWeb is a solution for organizations needing to automate their locating operations without large upfront fees or requiring any costly hardware or software configuration. The KorWeb product is offered on a “pay as you go” basis. Using a per ticket pricing model allows KorWeb customers to pay only for the locates they receive from their One Call Center(s). All support and maintenance fees are included in the per ticket pricing/pay as you go model for users of KorWeb.
KorWeb will allow organizations without large IT staff to still benefit from a technologically advanced solution. KorWeb differs from traditional software products in that there is no initial installation of any software at the client site, as all software is hosted securely at KorTerra’s tier-1 data center. KorWeb customers do not have to manage or support onsite servers or internal hardware. All that is needed to run KorWeb is PC with a web browser and internet access. The software being hosted by KorTerra ensures that users always have access to the most current software version without scheduling and performing on-site upgrades.
“KorTerra is excited about our new product offering,” said Chris Stendal, President, “We feel this type of product will really benefit organizations that have not had the financial or technical resources to automate their business before. KorWeb will enable these organizations to streamline organizational processes, remain in compliance with Positive Response laws and save money.”
KorWeb’s functionality includes robust functionality and features that any size locating organization can take advantage of. Some of these features include:
- Mobile capabilities bringing full product functionality to the field
- Automated positive response to the One Call Center
- Emergency notifications emailed out to the field for immediate response
- Tickets routed automatically to locators (even in an multi-locator environment)
- Tickets automatically marked as ‘no locate required’ (NLR)
Under the KorWeb application, KorTerra manages and maintains servers, performs necessary backups and monitors all computers that are located at their Tier-1 data center located in Minneapolis, MN. KorTerra will also manage all communication lines needed to receive One Call locate requests from the One Call Centers. KorTerra customers utilizing KorWeb have “peace of mind” that their data and computing environment is secure. The KorWeb data center is located in a bunker building, protected to prevent and withstand a multitude of disasters.
