Siemon Launches New Best-in-Class eCatalog

 Siemon, a global network infrastructure specialist, announced that it has expanded its mobile-friendly website with a new global eCatalog that provides live access to updated product information through an advanced consumer-style interface with feature selection filters, document downloads, and easy project bill of material (BOM) generation and sharing.

From the new best-in-class eCatalog, customers can drill down into Siemon's main product categories, including copper and fiber cable and connectivity, work area solutions, racks and cable management, MapIT automated infrastructure management (AIM), ruggedized connectivity, high-speed cable assemblies, tools and testers, and connecting blocks. Within each product family, users can choose from a variety of attributes to further narrow down their product selection through a hierarchical user-friendly graphical interface.

Within each product window, users can access product images and related documentation like detailed spec sheets and installation instructions, as well as links to additional product information and marketing resources. Detailed attributes specific to each product can be selected to further filter results and view and select from available part numbers. Because the new eCatalog is linked with Siemon's internal databases, filtered results are updated with the very latest product information. Selected part numbers and quantities can be added to a cart to create a specific project BOM that may be emailed or exported into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet—without the need to create an account or login.

"To remain competitive in today's marketplace, our customers need to easily obtain specific product information and quickly generate bills of material for distributor pricing and project bids," says Tony Veatch, Director of Product Management for Siemon. "With tens of thousands of available product numbers in our arsenal based on specific attributes like performance, construction, color, size, length and a variety of other features, linking the new Siemon eCatalog to our existing internal system ensures real-time product information for our customers—as new products are launched and added to our system, they will be immediately accessible to our customers through the eCatalog."
