PacificEast (www.pacificeast.com), a Washington State based leader in the data management industry, announced on October 13 the launch of DesktopSELECT (www.pacificcorp.com/Services/real_time_services/DesktopSELECT.aspx), an Internet-based search engine allowing individuals or organizations to look up phone number information from the same direct source used by Directory Assistance operators nationwide.
DesktopSELECT's easy to use interface requires only an Internet browser to allow instant access to the most accurate and reliable directory listing information available. DesktopSELECT allows organizations of any size and budget to obtain the highest quality phone number and address data using the most cost effective methods.
DesktopSELECT is easy to use from any Internet connected desktop computer. Searches are conducted by first and last names, parts of names or addresses, or by a reverse search using a phone number or address. Affordability is enhanced by search results that return up to 30 listings at once and are calculated as one charge, not 30 charges like when using 411 Operator Assistance.
Richard Shatto, PacificEast Director of Strategic Planning, said that DesktopSELECT challenges organizations to rethink the value of using 411 Directory Assistance or free telephone number search engine sites to source data, and that individuals or organizations will benefit from searching for data that is accessible in less than a second, updated 24/7, costs 70 to 90% less than using 411 Directory Assistance operators and includes residential, business and government listings.
