Visualization to streamline communication with offshore development teams

WAKEFIELD, Mass. and EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- 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

businesses to more effectively communicate their needs to technology teams and

down.  At iRise, our vision is that by 2020, all business software will be

building is visualized today.  Headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., iRise is

offices across North America.
