Pilgrim Software and PleaseTech Ltd Agree to Collaborative Alliance

Tampa, FL – November 5, 2010 -- Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Risk, Compliance and Quality Management (ERCQM) software solutions, today announced that PleaseTech Ltd, specialists in collaborative document authoring and review, and Pilgrim Software have agreed to make PleaseTech’s PleaseReview™ available to their customers as an integrated collaboration solution to Pilgrim’s SmartSolve® suite of products.

Pilgrim Software’s integrated risk, compliance and quality management software solutions help regulated organizations remain compliant and minimize risk. By nature, this is an area reliant on quality, up-to-date and accurate documentation, frequently dependent on the input of several expert contributors. Pilgrim customers can now benefit from the unique ability to both collaboratively co-author documents and review content using the PleaseReview solution, within its secure, structured and controlled environment. Multiple participants will now be able to easily co-author and also review documents simultaneously, and in real time, in a truly collaborative manner.

PleaseReview provides a collaborative, browser-based environment to manage the document authoring and review process. It enables simultaneous authoring and review of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents, PDFs, images and text. Taking advantage of its simple ‘point and click’ review tools, users virtually discuss and synchronize documents with each other, paragraph by paragraph, or can download for offline review. The document author or manager maintains full control of the review and can monitor users’ progress, while all changes and comments are automatically saved in an audit trail. The automatic capture of key metrics can subsequently be used for reporting and analysis.

"We are excited to reach this agreement with PleaseTech, which will expand and further strengthen our document management capabilities for our highly regulated customers," said Atulya Risal, Chief Technology Officer of Pilgrim Software. "By leveraging PleaseReview's collaborative authoring and review functionalities, Pilgrim is now able to provide its customers with more efficient and effective document authoring in a controlled environment, making it accessible to the right people at the right time.”

“We are delighted to be working with Pilgrim Software” stated Dave Cornwell, CEO of PleaseTech Ltd. He added, “PleaseReview is a natural fit with Pilgrim’s integrated risk, compliance and quality management solution and the combination of the two products will be of great benefit to Pilgrim’s customers.”
