SAMRENOVATION Chosen For High Accuracy and Speed
BILLERICA, Mass., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Peritus Software Services, Inc.
(Nasdaq: PTUS), a leading provider of solutions for software maintenance,
today announced that Whistler Auto-Mation Product Division of Whistler
Corporation selected the Software Asset Maintenance(SM) (SAM) Renovation
service from Peritus to renovate corporate-wide AS/400 RPG manufacturing
applications. SAMRENOVATION is one of a family of Software Asset Maintenance
solutions designed to increase efficiencies and stop the escalation of
software maintenance costs.
After evaluating other vendors, Whistler Auto-Mation Products, the
privately held maker of garage and home products, selected Peritus because of
the high accuracy and automation of the Peritus technology. In addition, the
SAMRENOVATION service demonstrated significant cost savings over the other
solutions.
"Peritus' superior Year 2000 identification and correction technology,
experienced personnel, and the company's impressive focus on client
satisfaction were the key reasons for selecting the SAMRENOVATION service over
the competition," said Cindy Morgan, Director of MIS at Whistler Auto-Mation
Products. "The SAMRENOVATION service is now a strategic part of our
information technology strategy that will enable us to maintain growth and
competitiveness beyond the Year 2000."
Conquering the Year 2000 problem is still one of the most difficult
software maintenance challenges facing companies today. The SAMRENOVATION
service uses a unique combination of people, processes, and technologies to
transform software maintenance from a labor-intensive chore into a dynamic,
leading-edge activity that boosts the precision and productivity of Year 2000
renovations.
The SAMRENOVATION people are experts in software maintenance and are
highly trained and skilled in best practices and exclusive Peritus tools.
They work as self-directed, high-performance teams that focus on meeting
client Year 2000 goals of high accuracy and tight deadlines. The
SAMRENOVATION process is based on scientific principles and the best practices
from software engineering.
The SAMRENOVATION technology uses special techniques proven to surpass
other methods of automated date-sensitive item identification and correction.
"Knowledge propagation," one of the methods used, tracks the movement of date-
sensitive items in applications. By following the movement of the date-
related information, the date-sensitive items are accurately identified and
then corrected from their use and format, rather than from their names. This
unique combination of people, processes, and technologies results in dramatic
increases in accuracy and efficiency in addressing the Year 2000 software
maintenance problem.
"Peritus is extremely pleased that Whistler, a company known for its
innovation and quality, has selected the SAMRENOVATION factory service," said
Gareth Taube, vice president of Marketing at Peritus. "Whistler industries
are very competitive and the SAMRENOVATION service has an excellent price to
performance ratio that will provide Whistler with a competitive IT advantage."
