The difference between
a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of

My How Life Has
Changed!
This year, CoreTech is celebrating our 10-year
anniversary! Our business has changed so much over the
years as we have adapted to providing more services and
increased our knowledge of new technologies. In looking
back at our own business, we can’t help but wonder how
our clients’ processes and technology have changed over
the past 10 years as well. We caught up with CETAC
Technologies about changes they’ve experienced in the
past 10 years.
 Dan
Marchand, IT Director, CETAC Technologies
Founded in 1987, CETAC Technologies of Omaha has become
a worldwide leader in sample handling and sample
introduction equipment for elemental research analysis.
Laboratory technicians, chemists and lab managers use
CETAC products to quickly and accurately identify
elemental trace levels in substances. The industries
that purchase their products and services include
semiconductor manufacturing, environmental analyzers and
petrochemical manufacturing. In 1988 CETAC began to
expand worldwide and currently has offices in the United
Kingdom, Germany and Singapore.
How have
things changed?
Communications and the way CETAC does business has
changed significantly. It used to be that when email was
down 4-5 hours no one noticed. They worked on
non-computer related projects and paper work. Now, work
comes to a grinding halt. Through technology tools,
accomplishing training and reaching customers on the
other side of the globe occurs very quickly! The ease of
passing information on to clients has amplified the
speed of a sale as well. Placing a PDF brochure in the
hands of a potential client in Italy through a
Blackberry resulted in a much quicker sale than would
have occurred in the past.
“Video
saves us a significant amount of travel time and expense
as well,” said Dan. “Product devices can be configured
and training and education occurs through video
transmission and taped segments instead of sending a
staff person to a customer’s location.”
Online
email tools have also facilitated communication with
customers and potential customers. CETAC easily sends
out information on products, technical descriptions and
training via Constant Contact. Previously, faxes were
sent. Some communication is still sent by fax because a
few foreign governments require it, however most
communication is via email, video and social media.
CETAC researchers are now using Facebook and other
social media avenues to have discussions and answer
questions.
