Mercury rises in the region with Tech Access

Mercury Interactive Corporation (MERQ.PK)'s business technology optimisation strategy addresses this problem by providing a portfolio of IT testing, management and governance tools that help firms optimise the business outcome of their IT infrastructure. Mercury was recently declared the sole leader in the functional testing market in an evaluation by Forrester Research. According to the research, Forrester evaluated Mercury's current offering, strategy, and market presence for functional testing solutions against 87 criteria and Mercury was the only leader in this segment.

"The quality of a business is directly predicated by the quality of the performance of its applications," said Christopher Lochhead, chief marketing officer at Mercury. "That's why forward-leaning companies are standardising on Mercury's industry-leading quality testing offerings to optimise the business outcomes of their application initiatives. We are pleased to be acknowledged by Forrester, which underscores our market leadership."

"The demand for IT to deliver meaningful business value has never been higher," said Umar Malik, VP of Tech Access. "CIO's are grappling with managing costs, risks, and performance against a backdrop of increasingly complex technology. To stay ahead of the game in the Middle East, companies need to respond quickly to market demands. By adopting Mercury's Business Optimisation procedures, companies can leverage technology to their advantage."

To highlight Mercury's unique product offering, Tech Access, Mercury's master reseller in the region, is organising an exclusive seminar at the Royal Mirage on September 20, 2006. The event will highlight issues like performance testing and optimisation in organisations, improving test processes, and using technology to reduce business risks. Participants will also get an opportunity to learn about Mercury's Quality Centre that provides a web-based system for automated software quality testing and management.
