SAN JOSE, CA, Nov 21, 2007 - Catalog Data Solutions (CDS), a leading provider of online product selection tools for industrial suppliers and distributors, today announced the public release of its new CDS Spare Parts Catalog product, available in an on demand business model.

The first customer to go live is Alstom Signaling Inc., a division of Alstom which has implemented the new CDS Spare Parts Catalog, now available online for spare part selection and ordering at www.alstomsignalingsolutions.com. “We wanted an easy to use online spare parts catalog with both graphical and attribute search for our customers that provides an advanced user experience online 24X7.

“In complex products, being able to see a drawing of the spare part as well as any and all attributes largely eliminates the opportunity for human error,” said John Major, CEO of Catalog Data Solutions. “We are delighted that Alstom Signaling selected Catalog Data Solutions as this further endorses both our software and the momentum towards Software as a Service/on-demand delivery of mission critical applications.
