SaaS Showplace®

Wellesley, MA - March 16, 2009 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Daptiv has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 as the latest initiative by THINKstrategies to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies which are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations, and greater profitability.

Daptiv is a leading provider on-demand, collaborative business solutions, including Project Portfolio Management (PPM) capabilities. A case example of the measurable business benefits of Daptiv's on-demand PPM capabilities is Chase Paymentech Solutions, LLC.

Chase Paymentech is a global payments firm and the world's largest merchant acquirer with a customer base that includes 70 percent of leading ecommerce business and more than 600,000 merchants in nearly 1 million locations worldwide. In 2006, Chase Paymentech began looking internally at different project management solutions in an effort to foster better collaboration and communication across departments. Up until that point, Chase Paymentech managed departmental workflow with emails and verbal communications, which was an inefficient system that could easily lead to misplaced emails and other organizational issues. The company saw the value in the SaaS model as an affordable and easy way to transition to a new way of managing projects and increasing productivity. Chase Paymentech chose Daptiv because of its easy-to-use tool and additional control capabilities.

Chase Paymentach has adopted the Daptiv solution in multiple areas across the company, resulting in an increase in collaboration between groups. In addition, Chase Paymentech estimates that its employees are now 30- 40 percent more productive than they were with the old, ad hoc processes for managing projects.
 
Because they have achieved these measurable business benefits, Daptiv has been named the latest BoSS Award winner. A full description of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=140.
