Albany, NY, (PRWEB) September 17, 2003 ---- The Wercs, Ltd., the global leader in Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) software, today announced that D.A. Stuart, a leader in the production of superbly engineered lubricants, additives, in-process and production cleaners, has chosen to implement The WERCS® as their global solution for authoring, managing and distributing MSDSs.

D.A. Stuart operates manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the United States. With sales in these and many other countries, D.A. Stuart generates nearly 4,000 MSDSs, all of which are currently authored, managed and distributed by each facilitys unique solution. To streamline and standardize this process, D.A. Stuart decided to replace its disparate MSDS solutions with a single solution. After an exhaustive review process of major vendors, the company chose The WERCS® as its global MSDS solution.

Compared to its peers, The WERCS® is very technologically advanced and user friendly," said Dennis Mahoney, Global Systems Manager for D.A. Stuart. In addition, this system came highly recommended from our industry counterparts, so we are confident that this software will create global efficiencies in health and safety and lead to cost savings."

By implementing The WERCS®, D.A. Stuart will consolidate all health and safety functions at a North American and a European location. This will lead to advanced data integrity as well as increased efficiency in authoring, managing and distributing MSDSs. Furthermore, centralizing all data will help D.A. Stuart to more effectively meet global regulatory requirements. Additionally, The WERCS® WebViewer Module will allow for global access to all of D.A. Stuarts MSDSs via the companys intranet, which will dramatically improve their customer response time.

D.A. Stuart is perfect example of how The WERCS® creates value at all levels of an organization," said Lou DeSorbo, founder and president of The Wercs, Ltd. By implementing The WERCS®, we are helping to further global regulatory compliance and improve customer service, using a single solution. We are certain D.A.
