- Worldwide Energy Company Tech Refresh Selects the Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard

Goldtouch proudly announces it has been awarded its 2nd global technology refresh with a major Fortune 10 Energy Company.

In today's economy, organizations are facing daunting challenges to reduce costs and increase productivity, said Peter Gilbert, Goldtouch CEO. We have seen sales grow exponentially due to the exceptional quality of our products and the well established studies that show companies who take a proactive approach and design their employee programs to work ahead of the injury have experienced fewer numbers of claims, lower average claim costs, reduced absenteeism, and improved productivity. We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Hewlett Packard and Compucom on this opportunity.

A proactive use of Goldtouch products quickly leads to cost savings related to injuries as high as 40-50% which is a very compelling and dramatic ROI. More importantly, it keeps the workforce safe and productive, while reducing the employer's exposure to unsafe keying on input devices outside the workplace.

It is a great testament to the validity of our ROI and the quality of our product line that we are seeing this global refresh in 140 countries, and 14 languages, some 6 years after initial deployment, stated Christopher Lowe, VP of Sales and Marketing at Goldtouch, and a Certified Associate Ergonomist (CAE).

Goldtouch's customer, the Fortune 10 Energy Company, conducted a formal study, the results of which may be found at the following link: http://www.goldtouch.com/Resources/Studies/GoldtouchCostSavings.pdf

The Goldtouch line of ergonomic keyboards and computer accessories target workplace productivity improvements and the prevention of work-related injuries.
