Oak Park, MI - May 16, 2006 -- Vertabase, a leading developer of productivity-enhancing software solutions, today announced that Mercer Insurance Group has implemented Vertabase Pro software to provide a variety of efficiency-optimizing time management and project management functions.

Vertabase Pro organizes people and projects by simplifying, centralizing and accelerating access to critical up-to-date information. Vertabase Pro facilitates management by providing a framework for increased productivity.

Mercer Insurance Group’s IT department has implemented Vertabase Pro primarily to manage software development projects with greater efficiency. The Vertabase team was actively involved in the end-to-end implementation process. When a limited degree of customization was required in order to satisfy rigorous industry compliance standards, Vertabase Pro was customized quickly and cost-effectively.

Since implementing Vertabase Pro, the Mercer IT team has greatly benefited from the software’s productivity-enhancing features, making the greatest use of the project tracking and time sheet scheduling tools.

“Vertabase Pro is an off-the-shelf solution with an impressive feature set,” said Dan Borges, Vice President, Information Systems, Mercer Insurance Group. “But, it was Vertabase’s excellent customer service that has really made the difference. The company’s commitment to ‘total usability’ means that they are involved in the deployment every step of the way,” Mr. Borges added.
