The appeal of CTI? It allows independent ISVs to more quickly and efficiently market and acquire revenue.  Sales become more effortless with the help of CTI’s advantageous collaborations and reliability.  Onshore and offshore participants save time allowing them to focus on other company aspects such as development and costumer satisfaction.  In the end CTI helps the project participants maintain security, maximize productivity using bug tracking, remote collaboration and release management among other tools.  The key to the success of CTI is the fact that it works for the specific individual needs of the onshore and offshore companies and continues to do so in order to ensure a secure and stable support system as they grow.  This customization is what makes CTI so unique, the customization and the additional consultation division called Ciklum’s Services and Consulting Department (CSC), which serves to advise design and management methods.   Ciklum, even in this market, continues to expand (adding 34 new clients in the past 60 days) expand and diversify through innovation on traditional outsourcing methods.  — LRT
