Virtusa Implements Center of Excellence for National Geographic

BOSTON, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Virtusa Corporation (Nasdaq: VRTU), a
global IT services company that offers a broad spectrum of business consulting,
IT services and IT outsourcing, today announced it's the winner of Information
Management's2009 Innovative Solutions Award in the Enterprise Content Management
(ECM) category. The annual awards recognize groundbreaking business solutions in
eight categories, evaluating winners on their ability to provide exceptional
business value and positively affect the bottom line. During its winning
implementation of an ECM Center of Excellence for National Geographic, Virtusa
delivered exceptional business results, including lowering Web site support
costs by over 60% and improving content management usability by 50%.



"While this award acknowledges our ability to implement customized solutions for
companies facing complex business challenges, it also highlights Virtusa's core
business philosophy: delivering solutions that lead to measurable business
results," said Virtusa CEO Kris Canekeratne. "As technology evolves, it's
creating new problems that require increasingly innovative solutions based on
deep understanding of technology trends and best practices. We're honored to be
recognized by Information Management as a company that is providing just that."



Virtusa's winning solution was developed after National Geographic approached
the company with the task of optimizing its global Web strategy to efficiently
manage content in multiple languages using a scalable platform. Virtusa quickly
analyzed the company's Web architecture and implemented a ECM Center of
Excellence. This was accomplished by partnering with National Geographic to set
up 24 x 7 operations around QA, development, project management, and managed
services.



The Center compiled measurable business objectives which were exceeded by
combining industry best practices, IT engineering rigors, and a high touch
consultative approach to visualize the end state. As a result, content
management usability costs were cut in half, Web site support costs were cut by
60%, and efficiencies and expertise were developed that have allowed the
organization to become more market-responsive to business demands.



The award reinforces Virtusa's strong thought leadership, best practices and
expertise in ECM, and its ability to deliver innovative solutions to customers
that have a direct impact on their business.



Virtusa delivers reduced costs, increased agility and a superior customer
experience through its portfolio of IT services that also includes business
process management (BPM) and data warehousing and business intelligence (BI).
Recently recognized for growth and named to Deloitte LLP's Technology Fast 500
(TM), Virtusa utilizes its end-to-end consulting and outsourcing capabilities to
implement solutions that deliver business results for companies in a variety of
industries.
