Tampa, FL – July 28, 2010 -- Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Risk, Compliance and Quality Management (ERCQM) software solutions, today announced that Cubic Corporation, a global defense electronics and transportation manufacturer, will deploy Pilgrim’s web-based SmartSolve^® platform of automated solutions  across three geographically dispersed divisions of  Cubic Defense Applications.  Pilgrim’s Audit, Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA), Inspection Management, Business Process Automation, and Reporting and Analytics solutions, and its integrated tools and utilities, will support Cubic’s efforts to augment quality operations, reduce costs and ensure customer satisfaction.

The company’s manufacturing, quality, engineering, auditing and purchasing groups will engage the SmartSolve solutions and tailor their user interactions to meet specific business processes. The additional tools and utilities Cubic has added to its portfolio of Pilgrim products also will extend the company’s data reporting capabilities, analytics and business intelligence insights on an enterprise-wide scale, and provide access to consolidated information at the corporate level.

“As Cubic continues to grow, we were looking for a next generation scalable and flexible software platform to help us meet both current and future data gathering, managing and reporting needs for the next decade,” said Dave McAfee, Vice President of Product Assurance for Cubic.  “We put some of the key SmartSolve tools to the test by developing a pilot system to automate our shop floor work order and configuration tracking functions.   We involved all the key stakeholders in the pilot to verify what was needed.  We were very impressed with Pilgrim’s latest tool capabilities and also by the support that the Pilgrim team provided during our evaluation process.” 

In selecting a solution provider to meet its requirements, Cubic examined more than 40 unique capabilities among a multitude of providers using a very structured trade study.  After weighing all the business, technical, and financial requirements, SmartSolve was the clear tool of choice for Cubic’s needs, according to McAfee.

“Cubic operates in a dynamic industry in which the degree of quality and compliance of every internal process can have far-reaching implications for future growth,” said Prashanth Rajendran, Chief Operating Officer for Pilgrim Software.  “With our solutions in place to support Cubic’s quality, compliance and business requirements, the additional tools and utilities provided will then further reinforce a collaborative work environment through increased reporting visibility to ultimately improve the company’s overall performance.”
