JDResources Launches Technology Outsource Subsidiary Company:

Intense Technology, Inc.

on December 5, 2003

JDResources, Inc. is thrilled to announce the new executive lineup for Intense Technology, Inc. Already skilled IT professionals themselves, the management is ready to provide outstanding service with Don Carmon in the role of Applications Director, Bill Hillhouse in Project Management and LeAnn Willard as Account Manager.  Intense Technology, a subsidiary of JDResources (Memphis Business Journal’s Small Business of the Year in 2001), specializes in Information Technology outsourced managed projects, professional services and product development for E-Business, Client/Server and Web based solutions. The outsourcing option that Intense Technology offers their clients is a strategic move that enables companies to concentrate on running their business, not on running IT related functions. Successful companies realize that trying to excel at everything dilutes precious resources and distracts management's attention from strategic issues. They are gaining a competitive edge by concentrating on core competencies that provide high value and contribute to their bottom line. And they are putting information technology (IT) functions in their proper role as strategic enablers rather than core competencies.

Market research clearly demonstrates the upward trend in technology outsourcing. Having software written by someone outside the company -- outsourcing -- has increased by 175 percent in the last 18 months in large companies, according to Evans Data Corp., a Santa Cruz-based IT Research Company. "More than 70 percent of companies are outsourcing some software development, after reaching a low of 40 percent in Evans Data's May 2001 survey. Fortune 500 companies are leading the return to outsourcing, with about 80 percent of companies with more 10,000 employees outsourcing some of their development as compared to about 66 percent of companies who employ between 1,000 and 10,000 people, according to the survey. After showing steady growth from the sharp drop-off in May 2001, the latest numbers indicate a large number of new projects being started. However, most of the companies surveyed are turning to outsourcing as an alternative to hiring of full-time IT employees whereas, in the past, most companies turned to outsourcing for additional expertise," says Joe McKendrick, an analyst with Evans Data. Intense Technology, Inc is located at International Place Tower Two, 6410 Poplar Avenue Suite #151, Memphis, TN. 38119. Phone 901.761.2345.
