Logic tells us that the best way to please a customer is to wait on them, not make them wait for us. At Ultramarine, Inc. we figured the best way to accommodate is to be there at the time when you need us. Since this is often difficult to do halfway across the world, we have opened a new office in France. Now there will be help provided at the hours most convenient to you. Our contact person in France is Mr. Yvan Leipold. Yvan and Ray Nachlinger have worked together for many years; however, Yvan only recently became an employee of Ultramarine, Inc.

The goals we have for Ultramarine Europe are simple. We want to be able to provide a better service to our clients by having a liaison in their area of the world. The seven hour time difference may not seem like much, but it can impede the progress of a client by one whole day. In the standards of our fast paced world and in Ultramarine's standards, this is not acceptable. By establishing an office in France, our business hours have effectively doubled from eight hours to sixteen. Therefore, we can provide longer hours of technical support for our clients.

Our expectations for the success of Ultramarine Europe are quite high. Our success in Europe is largely dependent on Yvan's capabilities as a consultant. He has specialized in oceanography, hydrodynamics and structural design and was responsible for internal training on MOSES code at Bouygues. He has proven his capabilities to us by the extensive working knowledge he has of our software. We are quite confident that he will not only meet but also surpass the expectations of our European clientele.
