WAKEFIELD, MA & EL SEGUNDO, CA – June 10, 2009 – Dextrys, a premier U.S.-based China outsourcing firm delivering product engineering and application services, and iRise, the world’s leading visualization solutions company, today announced that they have partnered to incorporate iRise’s visualization software into Dextrys’ global delivery processes between the U.S. and China.

By leveraging visualization during the project definition and implementation phases, Dextrys is enabling clients to bring software products to market more quickly and with greater efficiency.

“We are continually seeking ways to increase productivity and improve the quality of the software we build,” stated Brian Keane, CEO for Dextrys.  “The iRise visualization software significantly enhances communication with our China-based development teams.  Our clients benefit from faster time-to-market and lower overall software development costs”
 
China is a top destination for offshore software development due to its high-quality labor force, established infrastructure, attractive pricing, low turnover, controlled inflation and incredible market potential. Dextrys will be leveraging visualizations of proposed business software solutions as part of its global delivery model and overall software development approach. The visualizations facilitated by iRise further tie the onshore and offshore client teams together with a common understanding of the software to be built.

“We believe visualization will serve as a strategic advantage and will help us deliver greater value to our clients,” Mr. Keane added.

“iRise is changing the business software landscape in fundamental ways,” stated Emmet B. Keeffe III, CEO and co-founder of iRise.  “Our partners and customers are getting complex business systems to market faster, with less cost and risk than ever before.  Visualization is the driving force behind this change and it is becoming the standard of excellence for how software is defined and delivered.  We’re delighted to have Dextrys on board as a partner.”

About iRise
iRise is the world’s leading provider of visualization software for business applications.  Visualization has become a critical competitive advantage for businesses to more effectively communicate their needs to technology teams and give everyone involved the ability to interact with and fully experience applications before they are built.  Companies of all sizes like General Motors, UPS, Wachovia, Manpower, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and many others use iRise to “test drive” their applications before building, which accelerates time to revenue, improves customer experience, and drives costs down.  At iRise, our vision is that by 2020, all business software will be visualized before being built, the same way that every car, airplane, and building is visualized today.  Headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., iRise is backed by Morgan Stanley Venture Partners, and Deutsche Bank, and has sales offices across North America.
