Realization's Next Generation Project Management Software to Accelerate Clinical Trials at PPD
Software runs on Critical Chain Engine™, instead of critical path

SILICON VALLEY - Sep 9, 2003 - Realization Technologies today announced that PPD, a leading provider of discovery and development services and products for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has selected Realization's software to manage its projects in Europe.

PPD is known for applying innovative technologies, therapeutic expertise and a commitment to quality to help clients maximize the return on their R&D investments. With proven early discovery through post-market resources, the company also offers unique partnerships and alliances for virtual drug development. PPD has more than 5,500 professionals in 25 countries around the world.

"With the rising cost of drug discovery, PPD clients want delivery of projects faster and cheaper, with highest quality. We are confident that similar to our other customers, PPD will realize substantial gains in all these areas of project performance", says Martin Powell Managing Director of Goldratt Solutions Ltd, who leads the implementation of Concerto and TOC.

Says Tali Mastboim, Managing Director of Nare Cliff Ltd. "In multi-project environments, uncertainties quickly multiply as resources are often shared across projects. As a result, a Cascade Effect takes place whereby delays propagate and gains do not add up." Tali adds, "It also leads to multitasking, whereby people are pulled in multiple directions, killing their productivity and hurting quality. By stopping uncertainties from multiplying, Critical Chain Engine helps reclaim this time and capacity wastage." Nare Cliff Ltd. is a partner of Realization Technologies, and is jointly implementing the system with Goldratt Solutions Ltd.
