“We are pleased to partner with Eurostep Limited for the development of this DEX system that can potentially revolutionize maintenance and repair for businesses and consumers,” said Bill Black, Founder and President of Black & Rossi. “The goal of the effort is to capture technical data and format it so maintenance and repair professionals can analyze it using a common methodology and respond faster, more effectively and at lower costs.”
