Dubai, 24 April 2006 -- Collaboration Management and Control Solutions (CMCS), the Primavera and PertMaster Authorized Representative in the Middle East, today announced their partnership agreement with On Time Systems, Inc. (OTS) to distribute schedule optimization software and resources in the Middle East.  

Bassam Samman, CEO and Founder of CMCS, says, "The ability to offer our customers in the region another tool to help manage their projects and resources is very exciting. Project Schedule Optimization Package (PSOP) will give our clients the capacity to optimize their resource usage instead of simply leveling. The need for this is apparent to our customers who have resource-intensive projects."

Project Schedule Optimization Package (PSOP) is a software add-on for the Primavera scheduling application. PSOP works seamlessly with Primavera to provide unprecedented schedule optimizations, minimizing the total project duration while maintaining all the constraints and dependencies defined by the scheduler. The advanced algorithms used in the optimization process can only be found in OTS products.

"Improving the capabilities of existing scheduling software has the potential to save a tremendous amount of money," says Matt Ginsberg, OTS founder and CEO, USA "Having CMCS as a partner to help bring our tools to users in the Middle East region is exciting. We are impressed by CMCS' professionalism and client base."
