Incyte Pharmaceuticals Selects Intraware to Streamline Their Web-Based Software Selection
Intraware Compariscope Service Offers Incyte Pharmaceuticals Objective Technical Analysis - Increasing Speed and Effectiveness
ORINDA, Calif., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Intraware, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITRA - news) the leading IT e-Marketplace for Web-based software and services, today announced that Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: INCY - news), a leading genomics information company, has selected the Intraware Compariscope software evaluation service to provide objective product evaluations to aid in the selection process of the company's strategic application software purchases. Using the Intraware Compariscope service, Incyte Pharmaceuticals was able to efficiently derive a customized list of potential Web application servers and make a choice based on objective information provided by Compariscope.
``The Intraware Compariscope service has saved me over 24 hours of time,' said Mark Stobbs, Incyte's Senior WebMaster. ``My previous software product evaluation process was very time consuming and consisted of reading trade journals, doing research online, and basically running my own clipping service. With Compariscope, I have an objective, standardized, one-stop solution comparison site that I can rely on to help analyze and determine the best products to purchase specifically for Incyte's needs.'
Incyte plans to continue utilizing Intraware's resources. ``Right now, we're in the process of using Compariscope to determine two more product purchases,' said Stobbs. ``We also plan to use Intraware's Ask James(SM) Advice Service to address some of the questions about the two new product categories we're exploring. I would highly recommend Intraware's services to any IT professional in need of an objective resource to streamline the evaluation and purchase of their Web-based business software.'
``As of today, Intraware has over 6,300 customers and we offer each of them a competitive advantage by offering a one-stop solution to efficiently and cost-effectively research, evaluate, purchase, download, and update business-class software online,' said Cindy Mascheroni, vice president of customer services at Intraware. ``Providing unique technology services and personalized functionality gives our customers more control over technology decisions and decreases their workload -- and that's fundamental to our business.'
