Millstar Creates Unified Product Database for Intermountain Scientific Corporation's Print and Internet Publishing Goals.

LANGHORNE, Pa., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermountain Scientific Corporation (Kaysville, UT) plans to transform their current product line into an electronic database for the purpose of creating catalogs-on-demand as well as incorporating e-commerce and catalog sales to their corporate Web site (www.bioexpress.com). Intermountain Scientific Corporation (ISC) sought the skills of electronic publisher, Millstar Electronic Publishing Group to complete their project goals.

"ISC sees the value of catalog-on-demand for their company. By converting the current product data to electronic format, the information can be produced with a variety of media, which will save them both time and money for future publishing endeavors," said Mark Schulz, Millstar C.O.O. "Everyone at Millstar is excited to be working with ISC on this important project."

Millstar will convert the ISC's product information into a format suitable for generating print catalog-on-demand and a full on-line catalog with e-commerce. By extracting information from the Quark catalog documents, the original format for producing the catalog, Millstar will create a custom- designed relational electronic database.

This versatile database will allow ISC to produce a full-line print catalog as well as the Bioexpress supplement print catalogs-on-demand. ISC will also post the product data to their existing Web site as well as incorporate e-commerce capabilities, with backend integration on the Internet, to increase Internet sales. Ultimately, the ISC Web site will post the full- line product catalog. The Internet Catalog System will provide custom price, real-time product availability, a variety of search options and many more features.

According to Gary Anderson, Vice President of Marketing for ISC, "The new Internet services for lab buying will add another level of cost to the end user. Ultimately prices will be increased at some point in the chain, as someone has to pay for this added level of supply. ISC will be providing a leading edge e-commerce alternative which will allow the customer to enjoy a competitive price while maintaining extremely high levels of service. Internet purchasing will be the standard for the future and ISC will be in a position to provide a customers with thousands of products without the added cost of added levels of distribution."

Millstar is working closely with ISC's enterprise wide provider to integrate and backfill the database into ISC's enterprise system. The centralized database will then be maintained used for order processing, customer service, accounting and inventory control, as well as for catalog management.
