East Greenbush, NY – (Business Wire) – 8/3/2011 – GlobalSpec (www.globalspec.com), the leading provider of online marketing programs for companies targeting the engineering, technical and manufacturing communities, today announced its partnership with Configure One (www.configureone.com), a provider of web-based configurator, quotation and electronic catalog software.

As a result of this relationship, GlobalSpec clients can benefit from a product configurator solution for their sales people, dealers, and/or company web site, making it simple for users to efficiently sell and process orders for configurable multi-option and customizable products and services.

"We are pleased to be working with Configure One to offer added value to our clients," said Brian Heller, senior vice president of business development for GlobalSpec. "By utilizing Configure One's product configurator tools, GlobalSpec clients will benefit from even more robust functionality for their web sites as a complement to their representation on GlobalSpec. The addition of Configure One’s part configurators to web sites allows parts to be considered in the design stage – providing value to engineers, purchasing professionals and manufacturers alike."

"Through our relationship with GlobalSpec, not only are we providing additional value to engineers and related professionals, but to manufacturers and suppliers as well," said Ron Mouw, vice president of Business Development at Configure One. "Our configurator solutions are ideal for manufacturing companies and contain several optional configurator components, making the functionality customizable based on the manufacturer's needs. We look forward to assisting GlobalSpec clients in taking their industrial web sites to the next level, helping them provide an even more valuable user experience."
