NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 14, 2009) - Severa Corporation of Finland, a leading
provider of online professional services automation, today announced it has
surpassed 1,000 sign-ups from 58 countries for its recently released Severa
3 version after only three weeks on the market.
Severa's new service has the highest registration numbers in the United
States, Canada, Finland, Indonesia and Great Britain. According to a recent
customer survey, 78% of Severa's customers confirm that their billing has
become more efficient and 70% of the customers have managed to clarify
their business operations.
Available as a free license to the first user, Severa's easy and instant
implementation as well as its adaptability in different professional
service sectors, has contributed to its rapid international adoption. After
a user registers online, the project management application is ready to be
utilized within minutes. Severa 3's intuitive user interface ensures that
different user groups within an organization will learn to use the service
easily.
"Severa wants to support professional services organizations (PSAs)
everywhere in their fight against the global recession by offering every
company a complimentary single-user license," said Severa CTO Jari
Kärkkäinen. "When we started our new product development, we knew there
were plenty of requests among PSAs for this kind of service. But we
couldn't imagine surpassing our 1,000 registration milestone as quickly as
we did."
Although the marketplace offers several systems for managing industrial
production or financial administration, very few solutions are optimized
specifically for PSAs and service providers.
Severa 3 is designed for PSAs that want to improve their daily activities
and reduce revenue leakage. The service eases customer and project
management, automates work-time entries and billing, and features one-click
access to most commonly used functions. Severa's main user groups include
advertising agencies, IT consulting, engineering houses and architecture
firms.
