Alsbridge, Inc. Expands Benchmarking Business With Strategic Investment in
ProBenchmark(TM)
Company to Redefine Market for Benchmarking with New E-Commerce Initiative,
Disruptive Pricing, and Self Service Approach

DALLAS, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Alsbridge, Inc., a market leading global
outsourcing advisory firm, announced today that it acquired Nautilus Advisors
LLC, creators of the patented ProBenchmark(TM); a unique and market defining
benchmark toolset. This consistent and predictive tool provides a definitive
source for price data required by IT, F&A and HR benchmarking. One of its
distinctive features allows online access to their benchmarking database
providing current market information. Additional services include
project-based analysis designed to provide custom benchmarks or satisfy
third-party benchmark clauses.
The addition of ProBenchmark gives Alsbridge an entirely new R&D group
focused on providing unbiased benchmarking services and competitive pricing
intelligence. The ProBenchmark team will continue to work from their offices
in the Washington, D.C. area further expanding Alsbridge's North American
presence.
Alsbridge Plans to Reinvent Benchmark Offerings
Alsbridge also announced plans to dramatically expand the market for
benchmarking via an e-commerce initiative that will enable decision makers who
currently cannot afford benchmarking services to get faster access to
specialized pricing expertise and data. "We believe the secure online delivery
of pricing benchmarks at a radically different cost structure will disrupt the
accepted norms in a market starved for new service offerings," stated Ben
Trowbridge, CEO of Alsbridge.
Forrester Research estimates global purchases of IT goods, services and
salaries will reach $2.4 trillion in 2008. Trowbridge estimates that 60% of
this cumulative spend, or about $1.4 trillion, will be in the Small to Medium
Business (SMB) market for which no benchmarking tools or services exist today.
By redefining access and price through its new benchmark offerings Alsbridge
will enable the SMB executive to gain access to more robust data, speed up
decision making and better compete.
