PRESS RELEASE COHERENT CITES COMPREHENSIVE FUNCTIONALITY AND EASE OF USE AS FACTORS FOR CHOOSING eCUSTOMS' EXPORT COMPLIANCE SOLUTION Buffalo, N.Y. — "The old system was like pulling teeth," said Serena Lam, International Trade Services Manager at Coherent Inc. So painful was it that in 2001, the company decided to switch to eCustoms to fulfill its export compliance needs. It has never looked back since. Coherent - headquartered in Santa Clara, California - is a global leader in the manufacture of lasers and photonics for commercial and scientific research applications and works with many Fortune 500 companies. "What we had before wasn't very user friendly and it was limited in its functionality," Lam said. "Especially in generating audit reports, which is very important nowadays if you need to prove that you have an effective compliance system in place." In sharp contrast, she described eCustoms' export compliance solution as extremely user-friendly, efficient and streamlined. "With the eCustoms system, you have the results you want quickly. It's the same when generating audit reports." "We design all of our solutions to be extremely user friendly," said Marc Roy, Vice-President of Global Business and Solution Development at eCustoms. "And with a high level of usability comes increased efficiency, helping businesses of all sizes recognize a real return on investment." Lam said that strong and effective capabilities combined with a user-friendly platform were important features of any compliance solution today because regulatory requirements in the foreseeable future would remain extremely tight. "That means we must remain vigilant. In turn, that means we need a system that is both watertight and user-friendly as well as being able to meet internal and external reporting requirements." eCustoms provides powerful automated solutions that help companies involved in global trade achieve compliance rapidly in the short term and continuously over the long term.
