Tampa, FL – October 27, 2006 – Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) software solutions, today announced that Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), Inc. has expanded its user base for Pilgrim’s Q&MIS Enterprise Quality Management system.  IDT, a globally-emerging biotechnology company and already the largest supplier of custom synthetic DNA and RNA in the U.S., currently is expanding its internal capabilities to address increasing demand for its products, and to maintain its leadership position over its competitors.

As IDT continues to grow both its revenue and employee count, the company recognized that the current rate of growth requires an increase in user accessibility to its four Pilgrim modules. IDT currently uses Q&MIS’ Audit Survey, Calibration System, Document Control and Training System to electronically manage its compliance and quality processes and enhance its operational efficiencies. 

“Pilgrim’s Q&MIS solutions have been highly effective for us, however, with more than 100 employees involved in approving documents within IDT, we needed to increase the scope of user accessibility to those solutions,” said Bill Jones, Director of Quality Assurance for IDT.  “With additional user access, we’re in an improved position to manage our current growth cycle by being better able to maximize our efficiencies and further strengthen ongoing quality management initiatives and cost-control efforts.”

“The leadership at IDT understands that rapid growth demands rapid solutions.  They recognized the value-added benefits of expanding employee access to Q&MIS to meet their expanding enterprise,” said Prashanth Rajendran, Pilgrim’s Chief Operating Officer.  “The purchase of additional user licenses underscores IDT’s satisfaction with Pilgrim’s technology and validates the proven effectiveness of our solutions and the success they guarantee.  IDT can look ahead with the confidence that its internal compliance and quality operations will continue to run smoothly.” 

IDT is headquartered in Coralville, Iowa, and employees at the company’s remote locations in Illinois and California are able to access the Q&MIS solutions as well.  During the next year, IDT will look to expand its automated management capabilities as it evaluates additional Pilgrim solutions for managing complaints and CAPAs across the organization.
