Our Q3 results demonstrate that we can thrive in a difficult environment by listening to our customers and delivering the right solution." In the third quarter Framework launched a new and enhanced version of its ActiveAEC(TM) and ActiveProduct(TM) solutions. The new release accelerates initial project selection efforts and assures the alignment of the project portfolio with key business objectives at the enterprise level. Version 10 includes three new modules-- ActiveCharter(TM), ActiveResource(TM) and Portfolio Planning(TM) -- that address challenges surrounding strategic planning and project selection, thereby increasing cost savings and accelerating commencement of the right projects.
