Clarus and Rural Sourcing, Inc. team to create new technology jobs in rural America.
After evaluating all options including offshore alternatives, Clarus Information chose Rural Sourcing, Inc. due to its ability to quickly deliver value through its rural Centers of Excellence.
Atlanta, Georgia April 6, 2009:
Clarus Information, a niche business intelligence solution for the Life Sciences Industry, chose to
partner with Rural Sourcing, Inc. to develop its next generation product for pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies. "In addition to RSI we evaluate offshore solutions and onsite professional
consulting firms. We create a value index to evaluate these companies based on three criteria;
knowledge of our client's business needs, ability to collaborate with our product development team,
and total cost to engage. Based on these criteria RSI scored the highest on the value index and was
any easy choice for us.", said Michael Brookman, CEO of Clarus Information.
"We are very excited with the opportunity to work with the Clarus team to help them
deliver a unique and valuable solution for the Life Sciences industry. We remain committed to
growing our U.S. based work force by offering a cost competitive alternative to the offshore model.
The diligence of the Clarus team to look at all their options and to select Rural Sourcing further
reinforces our ideals of delivering great service, at a competitive price, right here in America",
says Monty P. Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing, Inc.
