Logrus
International Corporation chosen as the Lotus/IBM Software
Engineering Supplier of the Year 2002
Logrus International Corporation
has been chosen by IBM Ireland Dublin Software Lab for recognition
as the Lotus/IBM Software Engineering Supplier of the Year 2002
(category: Outsourced Localization Engineering).
From its
production site located in Moscow, Logrus
Russia provides software engineering for a variety of
Lotus/IBM software projects, and has most recently been building,
testing, and bug-fixing seven language releases of Lotus Notes 6.
Ellen
McMahon, the Project Manager for Notes/Domino 6, said:
"Outsourcing the testing and engineering of seven languages to
Logrus helped us meet our delivery targets for the language
versions. We work with a team of strong technical vendors and we
value their input. What made Logrus stand out on this project was
their technical knowledge, high quality standards, and the fact that
they required little support from the internal engineering team at
IBM - a welcome quality on a project of this size and
complexity."
