Prodrive Selects Visiprise to Support Customers in Electronics Industry

Deal nets Visiprise another high-growth client

ATLANTA, GA - May 2, 2006 Visiprise, Inc., a leader in integrated manufacturing operations solutions, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Prodrive to provide support functions for the company’s major customers in the electronics industry.

Prodrive delivers competitive solutions in electronics design, manufacturing and added value services for industrial, professional and consumer markets. Visiprise will supply Prodrive with Visiprise Manufacturing to support its electronics manufacturing and service operations.

“The product support and efficient service that Prodrive offers its customers is why they have done so well in their markets,” said Sean McCloskey, president and CEO of Visiprise. “We are excited for the opportunity for our solution to help Prodrive bring its offering to the next level.”

The swift sales cycle, completed in late December, was due in large part to an on-site visit to a Visiprise customer’s facility, allowing Visiprise to showcase its powerful integrated manufacturing solution in action.

“We were looking for both an NPI and MES solution when we first met with Visiprise,” said Arno van der Heijden, Operations Manager of Prodrive. “Visiprise Manufacturing’s shop floor capability and flexibility were impressive, as was seeing the solution in action. The solid customer references, proven solution and depth of expertise in driving value from manufacturing operations for global customers convinced us that Visiprise was the right partner for us.”
