PointBridge Moves to Add Capacity, Enhance Client Value via Offshore Development
PointBridge, an award-winning Microsoft® solutions provider, today announced a strategic business relationship with Cybage Software, Inc., an Indian software services firm. With this agreement, PointBridge strengthens its market position by growing its capacity and expanding its delivery and pricing options for clients.
Under the agreement, PointBridge will tap Cybage’s resources and processes to provide optimum delivery solutions and flexible pricing options to the marketplace. PointBridge will train and have available a set team of Cybage professionals ready to assist on engagements with development, testing and support activities.

PointBridge with Cybage offers clients the choice between two delivery models – its conventional onsite delivery and a blended hybrid solution that teams onsite professionals with offshore technical experts.

This agreement enables our continued growth as a company and helps us generate additional value opportunities for our clients.”
