AptSoft Puts Money Where Its Technology is by Inviting Companies to Take the AptSoft Challenge.

BURLINGTON, Mass. -- [R][sup.3]AptSoft will align a company's IT infrastructure to a key business process in five days or pay the salaries of IT staff assigned to the project

[R][sup.3]A growing list of successful implementations across multiple industries and an increase in strategic partnerships both underscore AptSoft Corporation's ability to help clients align their IT infrastructures with key business goals. But the company today upped the ante by issuing the AptSoft Challenge to companies that need to become more agile: AptSoft will align a company's IT infrastructure to a key business process in five days or pay the salaries of IT staff assigned to the project. [R][sup.3]AptSoft's Event-Driven Application Collaboration(TM) (EDAC(TM)) software topples the longstanding industry paradigm of hard wiring previously siloed applications in an attempt to coordinate business processes. These approaches were inflexible, slow, expensive and ultimately failed to provide the agility to help companies respond in real time to key business events. AptSoft's software allows such systems as customer relationship management (CRM), sales and supply chain to collaborate and respond in real time to key events that affect a company's business. AptSoft's technology has gained momentum by providing the flexibility to customize how companies want to coordinate their vital systems, the speed to do it quickly, the ease of use to enable non-technical and technical staff to work together toward business goals, and the affordability to deploy and support the system under budget. [R][sup.3]During the challenge, AptSoft will work with a participating company to identify a strategic business process to align to the company's infrastructure. "We are so confident that we can deliver a working prototype in five person-days, that if we don't achieve this goal, we'll pay the salaries of the IT resources assigned to this project," said AptSoft's founder and CEO, Frank Chisholm. "We encourage companies to take us up on the challenge so we can demonstrate the hidden revenue potential that exists in their infrastructures." [R][sup.3]AptSoft's customer list includes loyalty management solutions provider Circles Company Associates as well as one of the country's largest property/casualty insurers. Its growing list of strategic partners includes CGI, Salesnet, Emergenuity and Broadbeam.
