Wildflower Selects VPMi SaaS Project Management Software for Contract, Portfolio, and Project Management

Santa Fe, NM, November 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Wildflower International, a leading provider of information technology to the U.S. Federal Government, announced the selection and successful implementation of the SaaS project portfolio management software VPMi version 4.5. Wildflower is deeply committed to the issues of security, collaboration, and customer service and the VPMi allowed them a world class platform to deliver on that promise with U.S. Federal Government contracts.

"We evaluated everything in the SaaS and enterprise project management software market before deciding on VPMi. The VPMi stood out for its attractive pricing, ability to configure it exactly to our process, but most importantly the personal support we receive every day." stated Wildflower CEO Kimberly DeCastro. "Now that the VPMi has become our project delivery system we have really come to appreciate the new version's ability to build project templates, edit an entire workplan, manage our unique lifecycle, and collaborate with clients without requiring everyone be a certified project manager."

"Working with Wildflower was a match made in Heaven," states VCSonline co-founder Nick Matteucci. "Wildflower's processes were really the gold standard for U.S. Government contract management. The VPMi allowed them to take their process and web-enable it with our simple, flexible, and secure SaaS project management software. The combination has begun to fundamentally change the game for U.S. Federal Government program management. In retrospect, there really was really no way we could fail."

"SaaS adoption is highest in applications that support simplified, common business processes or large, distributed virtual workforce teams. Ease of use, rapid deployment, limited upfront investment in capital and staffing, plus a reduction in software management responsibility all make SaaS a desirable alternative to many on-premises solutions, and they will continue to act as drivers of growth," said Sharon Mertz, research director at Gartner.
