EDISON, N.J. -- RCG Information Technology's wholly US-owned Offshore Delivery Center (ODC) opened its new home today on the 39th floor of the Philam Life Tower, the most technologically advanced building in the Philippines. The new hi-tech facilities will help RCG IT maintain the leading edge, productive and secure work environment from which to serve clients even better. The new location is situated in the heart of Manila's Makati business district.

"Our business from the U.S. and Fortune 1000 companies has grown impressively, and Philam Life Tower met our criteria for state-of-the-art accommodations with maximum security," explains Robert Simplot, CEO and President of RCG IT, Inc. "RCG IT's U.S. clients are motivated to send projects offshore due to lower costs, a desire to mitigate geopolitical risk, and the confidence of working with a company with a strong and reliable track-record." RCG IT is a three decade IT professional services company.

The Philippines offers the flexibility to diversify a company's project portfolio at minimal risk and lower cost. RCG IT characterizes its operation as a sophisticated custom application development and testing center certified at CMMI Level 5. Typically, RCG IT is selected for 20-seat development, conversion, enhancement or testing engagements of three to six months duration. A US-based Project Office effectively interfaces and coordinates project activities with clients.

RCG IT Philippines was assessed at CMMI Level 5 in July 2003. It was the first company in the Philippines and one of only eight in the world to have attained Level 5, the highest in the CMMI rating scale. The Software Engineering Institute's assessment is recognized worldwide as the highest standard in software processes and engineering. This integrated systems development and engineering model leads to predictable project delivery excellence and is the best insurance against risks such as missed schedules, cost overruns or under-performing application systems.

RCG IT's consultant pool is experienced in Web technologies, Object Oriented (OO) tools and middleware. Offshore capabilities and skills sets include J2EE, Websphere, .NET, C#, C++, VB and BusinessObjects(TM) Enterprise 6 business intelligence suite.
