PWI is selected by Aberdeen Group as Exemplifying Best Practices in Offshore Software Outsourcing.

Red Bank, N.J. -- September 17, 2002. PWI, Inc., a U.S.-based software services provider with development facilities in the U.S. and Moscow, Russia, today announced that it has been cited in Aberdeen Group’s special report on “Best Practices in Offshore Outsourcing” as one of the most compelling examples of successful offshore service delivery.  The report was published on September 4, 2002.

Aberdeen Group, a leading market analysis and positioning services firm, has named PWI, along with 14 other service providers, as exemplifying “best practices” in offshore software outsourcing for its contribution to a dedicated development relationship with Xpedite, the industry leader in helping businesses manage information distribution to and from their customers through multimedia messaging solutions.

According to Stephen Lane, the report’s author: “There are technology companies that, for a variety of reasons, elect not to do direct offshore development.  Nevertheless, they are able to extend their product development and support capabilities through relationships with local service suppliers with offshore resources and pushing beyond application enhancement and maintenance.   Xpedite’s experience shows it is possible to find such suppliers and by applying established engineering processes and methodologies and by having experienced project managers, achieve time-to-market and cost benefits through offshore development”. 

 “We are proud to be selected by Aberdeen Group and identified as being one of the best providers of offshore IT services,” said Gregory J. Salvato, PWI’s CEO.  “This is a significant recognition, and it validates our business model, which is focused on providing our clients with access to specialized skills and competencies that enhance their product development capabilities.  Our relationship with Xpedite demonstrates how the outsourcing model can work, and more importantly, generate tangible business results.  PWI is committed to providing the same level of expertise and engineering talents to help our clients innovate and generate measurable business value.”
