EL SEGUNDO, Calif. & NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
iRise®, the world`s leading enterprise visualization company, and Capgemini U.S.
LLC,one of the world's foremost providers of consulting, technology and
outsourcing services, today announced that Capgemini is standardizing on
visualization solutions from iRise in North America to engage with clients from
initial discovery through solutions delivery.Visualization technology allows
users of IT applications to actually see and experience how IT systems work even
before these systems are developed.

Capgemini will use iRise to assemble fully functional, high-fidelity
visualizations of business solutions early in the client engagement process. By
leveraging a collaborative innovation and requirements process built on
visualization, Capgemini will remove ambiguity, clearly articulate requirements,
enable virtual reviews and easily gather feedback from diverse and
geographically-dispersed users and stakeholders.

Visualization is being adopted as a capability that aligns with Capgemini`s
strategic framework for services delivery, as well as Capgemini`s Center of
Excellence (COE) network which offers Capgemini`s Rapid Design and
VisualizationTM (RDVTM) services.

The Capgemini RDVTM services offered in the COE network provide a systematic
approach to designing applications and envisioning their use through end-user
observations, deep collaboration amongst stakeholders and the presentation of
multiple alternative prototypes.

"In today`s fluctuating markets and economic climate, companies are looking at
new ways to have technology services implemented, and how the success of the
project is quantified and measured," said Lanny Cohen, chief executive officer,
Capgemini U.S. LLC. "Capgemini is leading the way in working with clients to
find new ways of delivering sustainable results and value.Visualization is a
clear competitive advantage because it is a proven strategy that is aimed
atimproving our clients` ROI, reducing risk and cutting rework costs by
potentially up to 70 percent, enabling us to deliver projects faster."

iRise is the world`s only visualization platform that supports enterprise grade
collaboration, security capabilities and content solutions that enable global
systems integration companies like Capgemini to achieve transformation on this
scale. Real time collaboration from iRise is essential for geographically
dispersed teams to work seamlessly with clients throughout the engagement life
cycle, optimize resource allocation and deliver with confidence.

Since 2004, Capgemini and iRise have worked together to deliver business
technologies solutions. These solutions have resulted in increased adoption by
end users, reduction in rework for development teams and increased collaboration
in distributed development strategies.

"Visualization is changing the face of the software industry," said Emmet B.
Keeffe III, chief executive officer and co-founder of iRise. "Global IT
companies like Capgemini are standardizing on visualization to win more business
and to deliver unprecedented results for their clients."

About iRise

iRise is the world`s leading provider of enterprise 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.
