Compulink expands customer base into eastern Europe

New Delhi (India), September 19, 2006: IP Devel, a leader in the Romanian software outsourcing market today announced that it has selected Compulink's Whizible SEM (Service Execution Management) suite.

The Whizible suite is an enterprise wide Services Execution Management (SEM) solution. SEM is a way of automating business processes and is tailored precisely to the requirements of the IT Services sector. For Compulink, this marks the first customer win for Whizible in the growing Eastern European market.

The deployment will take 2 months and will be done in a phased manner beginning with requirements gathering, prototyping, training, rollout and handholding. Compulink will also be providing training and consulting services as a part of the project.

IP Devel, a leading solution provider specialized in embedded systems development and advanced testing services, is part of Adecco Engineering & Technical, one of six global business lines of Adecco, a Fortune Global 500 company and the global leader in HR services, with total turnover of more than 18 billion EUR in 2005.

"We evaluated the capabilities of Whizible and Compulink and came to a conclusion that Whizible will serve our requirements the best. To implement a product like Whizible, is very crucial to our CMM program apart from the 'visibility' it gives to the stakeholders of projects," said Bogdan Putinica, CEO, IP Devel.

"At the technical level we are impressed by the way Whizible solves simple activities like creating a Project, allocating the team to the project, flexibility in attaching tasks to projects, reporting efforts per task, aggregating efforts at project level, making timesheets and 2-way integration with Microsoft Project. We are sure that deploying Whizible will definitely improve the effectiveness of the efforts of our project management teams," commented Daniel Bogdan, CTO, IP Devel.

Vishwas Mahajan, Managing Director & CEO, Compulink Systems Ltd, said "We are very pleased to partner with IP Devel. Whizible will play an important role by adding value to the excellence of the IP Devel CMM program and also in enhancing visibility of project progress and resource availability. It will empower the teams with an ability to respond to the changing demands of customers, collaboration of live project information, all with ease of use and minimal learning time."

"Since Whizible is a web-based platform with no components at client end, rolling out and updating is very quick. Also, Eastern European is an important IT Services outsourcing destination for West Europe and USA. Whizible SEM is an excellent fit in such an environment, as it helps companies to manage the execution of outsourced services, projects and product development. We have already had considerable success in the Indian market, and the East European IT industry has a lot of commonalities with the Indian one," he further added.
