PRWT SERVICES, INC. AND EPITOME SYSTEMS JOIN FORCES TO OFFER LABOR SAVING, DOMESTIC OUTSOURCING SOLUTIONS
Partnership brings down the economic barrier to bringing jobs back to America
Philadelphia, PA (June 3, 2009) PRWT Services, Inc. and Epitome Systems today announced that they have formed a partnership designed to offer companies a cost-effective, domestic outsourcing model designed to boost productivity and improve service capabilities. The partnership will combine Epitome’s Business Process Automation (BPA) technology and PRWT’s Business Process Solutions (BPS) service capabilities in order to provide US companies and public agencies with a solution to support their business process outsourcing (BPO) strategies. In the process, the companies believe that this technology-driven partnership can create new jobs in the United States while serving as a delivery platform for bringing jobs back from offshore locations.
Epitome has developed an automation platform that can increase individual worker productivity and manage multiple, large workforces on a dynamic basis. Historically, clients implementing the Epitome platform have realized 30-50% savings on worker productivity. The Epitome software is used by leading companies in financial services, government, and insurance industries and for regulatory compliance and governance process automation across industries.
PRWT and Epitome intend to target their combined technology and enhanced BPS services to clients in government, financial services, life sciences, utilities and healthcare.
“Through technology enhanced BPO, together we can create a solution that answers the cry to “bring the work back home” with cost parity to offshore outsourcing solutions,” stated Michael Sanchez, chairman and CEO of Epitome Systems. “With unprecedented public funds flowing to private industry as part of President Obama’s Stimulus package and the TARP program, and increasing unemployment in the United States, Epitome and PRWT can now provide a cost effective domestic outsourcing solution.”
“This partnership is consistent with our vision to grow PRWT’s BPS division by identifying a technology offering that will complement our core service capabilities and allow us to offer an end-to-end solution to our existing customer base as well as expand into new markets and services,” added Harold T. Epps, president and CEO of PRWT Services, Inc.
