NEWS: SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug 14, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IDT (Nasdaq:IDTI), a leading communications IC provider, today launched its completely renovated Web site. In a market where time-to-information is critically important to designers, www.idt.com makes use of best-of-class parametric search technology and one-stop access to information, cutting search time to a minimum. "We believe engineers will find our site second to none in quickly accessing the pertinent technical information they need to support their system designs," explained Dan Brumm, IDT's director of e-business. "We're taking advantage of many new insights and technologies to reshape idt.com to meet our customers' needs and our business priorities of faster access to the right information and the right solutions." IDT's new parametric search feature provides users the capability to search for the exact features and attributes of products that are necessary to their systems' design. Using parametric searching bolstered by pull downs and check boxes, a designer can navigate to a smaller, more appropriate set of product choices without having to wade through all parts. In addition to the new parametric search, users have several other search methods at their disposal, and a simple tool that explains when and how to use each. The new site also provides the design engineer with fast and easy navigation to all related documents available in one viewing area. Other sites make users navigate to special sections for data sheets or applications notes. With IDT's new one-stop library of information, designers can access all information for a specific product in one location. Market-Driven Undertaking Much of the new Web site's functionality is in direct response to IDT customer needs. For example, in a recent electronics industry survey (1999 Internet Usage Study, CMP Publications), design engineers identified parametric searching as a key "must have" for industry business-to-business sites. "IDT's intuitive and powerful parametric search capability delivers increased value for our customers," Brumm said. "Other capabilities sought after by those surveyed include better partial-name searching and more thorough cross-referencing. We've addressed all of these customer needs, as well." More to Come IDT plans to continue enhancing the site with additional features and capabilities that reflect the company's role in the evolving IDT e-business environment. "The ultimate goal, of course, is to provide superior service to our customers through our Web site. We are focused on providing electronic capabilities to shorten designers' selection time, and support their fast time-to-market requirements," Brumm said. "These companies and their engineers are under increasing pressure to leap-frog each other's performance and introduce new products in ever-shortening cycles. We believe our products and IDT's Web site will help them do that."
