China's Virtuos Turns To Hansoft As Pipelines Evolve

Shanghai-headquartered outsourcing firm Virtuos says its nearly 600 staff have implemented Hansoft's project management and QA tool across 4 different locations. Hansoft is a solution for team management that includes features for scheduling, real-time reporting, bug-tracking and other components of software development. Its latest release, version 6.5, added features aimed at simplifying global collaboration, and localization in mainland Chinese and Japanese. Virtuos revealed about a year ago that it would enter full-scale game development of an established racing franchise for a "major publisher." This year, the company says it's continuing to broaden the range of products on which it works, and offering a program called "The Virtuos Experience" which it hopes will increase its agility. "We tested Hansoft alongside other solutions for many months before making our choice," explains the company's production director, Pan Feng. Added Hansoft CEO Patric Palm: "Virtuos is a good example of how easy Hansoft is to implement, also in very large organizations. We are very excited about working with them."
