Press Release 

Seattle, Wash. — March 17, 2008 — Daptiv, the on-demand leader in collaborative business software, today announced that it has launched its Global Partner Program to deliver on-demand collaborative project portfolio management solutions to enterprises around the world. As part of the Daptiv Solution Partner Program, partners help customers manage team-based, collaborative work.

International Daptiv partners such as Bluenova of Australia, Performance Advantage and Innovations in Business of Canada, IMR of Mexico, The PMO Company of the Netherlands, SilverLake Professionals of South Africa and BlackApple and PI Consulting of the United Kingdom, in addition to U.S. partners such as Triple I and Effective IT, have identified Daptiv as a leader in project management and collaboration software and are committed to incorporating Daptiv technology into their product and service offerings. Daptiv offers three types of solution partnerships to fit the needs of systems integrators, resellers and consulting firms, and provides access to training, sales leads, revenue sharing, as well as the Daptiv platform itself, to bring substantial value to partner offerings. With the recent introduction of Daptiv Connect, resellers and partners benefit from the added value of a being able to easily integrate Daptiv technology with other on-premise or Web-based enterprise solutions, such as Salesforce.com.

Virgin Blue Airlines of Australia recently chose Bluenova to implement Daptiv PPM across Virgin Blue's commercial, corporate, operations and special project portfolios. "Virgin Blue Airlines is a highly innovative organization that has been growing at a steady rate," said Charl Morkel, director, Bluenova. "They were looking for a program that was highly flexible to meet the expanding needs as well as being able to adapt to the differing project management maturity levels across the organization. Daptiv PPM was the obvious choice."

"Daptiv is an ideal partner for IMR’s results-based methodology, which requires quick, demonstrable return-on-investment for customers in markets such as retail and management," said Raul Cardenas, director of operations, IMR. "Other solutions require time-consuming installations for on-site software, but Daptiv’s SaaS-based platform makes it easy to get our customers up and running quickly without worrying about software upgrades or hardware requirements. Best of all, our customers immediately see value as they gain visibility into the work they are doing across staff roles, from executives to team members."

IMR has already implemented Daptiv PPM with roughly twenty clients and works with companies ranging in size from less than $10 million to more than $300 million in revenue. Daptiv’s on-demand solution has provided IMR customers with greater visibility into work processes and collaboration, reduction of project costs and time, and overall improved project success.

"Daptiv has radically increased the volume of project work that we can take on and has enhanced the quality of service that we provide to our clients," said Ian Brown, managing director of BlackApple. "After conducting thorough research on various project management and collaboration solutions, we concluded that Daptiv is the only tool that allows us and our clients to quickly focus in on business critical needs and projects across an organization. Daptiv is invaluable in providing a single version of the truth, one centralized repository that allows for visibility into all aspects of the project and ensures that all data is taken into account for a holistic view of work."

BlackApple is a project management and consulting company and is one the longest serving partners anywhere, having been both a customer and partner of Daptiv since 2001. Initially, BlackApple used Daptiv in a professional services capacity, relying on Daptiv’s solution when managing or rescuing a project for a client. Their clients gained exposure to Daptiv PPM through BlackApple, and soon turned to BlackApple for assistance in implementing the product internally in order to better manage all facets of project work. Today, BlackApple continues to use Daptiv for their professional services offering, and also serves as a direct sales partner and a key training and implementation partner, providing European facing support and configuration expertise. BlackApple has over 50 clients worldwide, with roughly 40 clients in the UK and several more in countries like India, Pakistan, Switzerland and Germany, ranging from small design agencies to one of the largest food retailers in the world.

"These partnerships are a testament to Daptiv’s tremendous growth, both internationally and within the U.S.," said Jeff Pancottine, CEO of Daptiv. "As we continue to grow and expand the reach of our solution to new verticals and markets, we’re enabling enterprises to gain insight into all work across projects and teams and to tap into the robust reporting of Work Intelligence. As companies across the globe continue to embrace and adopt emerging enterprise 2.0 technologies, Daptiv is committed to partnering with well-established, customer-centric firms to best serve these new markets."
