FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KorTerra Added to Panasonic’s Toughbook Vendor Program
Minneapolis, MN – June 10th, 2003 – KorTerra, Inc. is pleased to announce they are now a member of the Panasonic Toughbook Vendor Partner (TVP) Program. As a TVP member, KorTerra and Panasonic will work together to provide a total solution for the mobile utility locating industry.
The KorTerra software product is a workforce management and damage prevention software solution designed for the One Call industry. When a utility locator receives notification from the one-call center, the KorTerra software provides the electronic means to deliver that information to the field worker immediately. The software also collects information on what the worker performed on-site and sends the information back to the dispatch center to ensure that customer notifications are being completed on time.
“The synergy created between KorTerra and Panasonic is very positive. We at KorTerra see the long term value of rugged devices and have always been advocates of the rugged solution for mobile workers in the field. By partnering with Panasonic, KorTerra will be able to pass along the benefits of a total mobile solution onto our clients,” said Chris Stendal, President, “We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Panasonic.”
Panasonic Toughbooks are wireless ready, fully rugged notebook PCs that holds up under the most extreme of conditions. Panasonic’s Toughbook solutions are the perfect partners to KorTerra’s Mobile Software Suite. The Panasonic/KorTerra solution will provide locators with a reliable, solid solution for using mobile technology in the field.
KorTerra looks forward to working with Panasonic on joint activities such as upcoming tradeshows, joint training, and website initiatives. Panasonic has committed to participate in this year’s Annual KorTerra User Conference to educate attendees about the benefits of rugged and mobile computing in the utility industry.
