CALABASAS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/25/07 -- NetSol Technologies, Inc. ("NetSol") (NASDAQ: NTWK), a multinational provider of enterprise software and IT services to
the financial services industry, announced that NetSol McCue, the company's
North American division has commenced the rollout of a full suite of IT
outsourcing services and customized development solutions to the North
American equipment finance technology market. NetSol's North America
division will offer a range of IT services and resources, leveraging 30
plus years of equipment leasing and lending experience.
John McCue, president of NetSol North America, comments, "Our domain
expertise within the equipment, vehicle, and captive finance industry is a
key differentiator as compared with more generic offshore development
providers. NetSol's North American services team will provide a
cost-effective blend of onshore LeasePak expertise closely integrated with
the offshore capabilities of our CMMi Level 5 certified resources based in
Lahore. NetSol Technologies will be able to hit the ground running in any
equipment or vehicle finance IT operation in North America. We believe this
accelerated path to positive ROI will be a strategic advantage for our
customers."
The NetSol McCue services team managing the offering has completed over 100
implementations to date in both equipment and vehicle leasing
organizations, including Volkswagen Credit, Key Bank, Bank of Tokyo
Mitsubishi, Cisco, and Yamaha Motor Corp.
While the division's Client Consulting Services department has long offered
NetSol McCue customers a range of business process engineering services,
the new offering package will greatly expand the menu of available services
to meet market needs. New services to be offered will include customized
application development, a full range of Quality Assurance (QA) services,
customized strategic report design, and dashboard tool development for
users of the division's flagship application, LeasePak 6.0 Enterprise
Edition.
NetSol Technologies CEO Najeeb Ghauri stated, "IT service and outsourcing
is estimated to be a $500 billion market in North America. From the very
beginning, it has been our vision and goal for NetSol-McCue to capture part
of the IT outsourcing and services market from within its core leasing and
finance expertise." Mr. Ghauri concluded, "We are confident that this
focused offering will receive an excellent reception in the North American
equipment finance technology market. We already have a strong track record
of achievement in delivering outsourced IT services and solutions to the
North American insurance industry. I am confident that NetSol Technologies
will be able to show similar success in the North American based leasing
and lending organizations, from both within our existing customer base as
well as with new prospects."
