Comments from our staff

Uwe Zurth, head of customer benefits

"Besides the move to optimize the search functions in Online Support, which we've initiated in parallel, focusing on tailor-made content is another important lever for speeding up and simplifying the customer's search for essential information."

Udo Marmann, market management, Eurodrive Germany

"With our new, uniform document structure, we are presenting information to users in a very focused way. When combined with digital networking and visualization, the number of documents that are supplied with products can also be reduced. Less printed documentation means less paper waste, which saves resources and is better for the environment. Thanks to the ongoing improvements being made to Online Support, customers can always access the latest versions of product information and other documents."
