James Walter, Vice-Chairman of OFS, has named Rich Napoli as CEO of ObjectFrontier, Inc. (OFS-US). Mr. Napoli, promoted from COO, will align his leadership team and set the processes necessary for the next stage of growth in the US market. Mr. Walter, in announcing Mr. Napoli's new role stated, "Under Rich Napoli's direction, we can ensure OFS' growth to new heights while keeping the values it is founded on--ensuring every employee feels an integral part of our company, earning our customers' trust through innovation and high moral standards, and giving back to the community that has brought us this far."

Rich Napoli's leadership team consists of: Dominic Savio, COO/CTO, responsible for driving technology innovation and client delivery with the help of direct-report John Nagel, VP of Delivery; James Houghton, CFO, overseeing the Finance, HR, and Legal departments; Eric Fleischer, VP of Sales, responsible for all US business development and sales activities; and Susana Caparros, Director of US Marketing Communications, responsible for the branding of OFS while assisting Sales with lead generation.

Mr. Napoli joined OFS three years ago and under his direction, the company has achieved substantial, three-digit growth each year. Mr. Napoli attributes the dramatic growth of the company to its ongoing commitment to its employees as well as its focus on earning the trust of the OFS clients through innovation, commercial-grade product engineering, and high moral standards.

OFS is an outsourced product development company providing software product engineering expertise to help ISVs and other software-enabled business build innovative and scalable software that serves markets and drives revenues. OFS' clients include two of the 100 largest software companies in the world as well as many mid-size ones as well. OFS has a team of over 400 employees spread across its US offices in New Jersey, Philadelphia, DC, Atlanta, and its offshore facility in Chennai, India.

Software has always transformed how organizations do business internally, but the game-changing phenomenon currently taking place is that many organizations now interact with suppliers, partners, and, most importantly, customers, using software - not just packaged software, but their own proprietary software as well. When you add mobile devices to this new product orientation, you create a whole new set of challenges that IT shops must overcome to stay competitive.

The old methods of building custom software no longer work in today's modern, distributed economy. IT shops in large corporations are hiring product development software vendors to meet the new challenges and create value and differentiation for their businesses. These IT departments have found that using product development methodologies is the solution to upgrading their software and driving better global operations and customer interactions.

IT applications are now best designed using many of the same product engineering and management concepts that software companies use to build commercial software products: creating a scalable, multi-tenant architecture based on a long-term product roadmap, doing careful release planning, leveraging agile development methodologies appropriately, and using the latest build and testing tools to shorten the total delivery cycle. Many of these companies are outsourcing this work of customizing their internal applications in order to tap into the expertise used to create commercial software products, because their in-house staff may not have the availability or expertise.

OFS has worked with many companies to address these new requirements and rebuild its custom IT software. Our methods are adapted from those that have worked for our commercial software customers long before. As long as large companies continue to require the same instances of software in different geographies and countries, controls to release and update the same software at different geographical locations, and the ability to release versions of their internal customer software without interruptions to other updates and departments, the need for the innovation that commercial product software methods bring to the enterprise will be a requirement.

NOTE: OFS and Forrester Research Inc. are sharing their insights on this topic on May 9, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. EST. on meeting your business's diverse needs with the right software. So please join Rich Napoli, COO of OFS, and guest speaker Michael Facemire, Senior Analyst from Forrester Research Inc. and learn how to build software like the pros.

OFS is pleased to announce that we are a Silver sponsor for the second annual MoDevEast conference being held in McLean, VA on Nov. 29-Dec. 1, 2012.

MoDevEast is an annual mobile developers and marketers conference where dozens of leaders in mobile innovation share their insights on how they readied their organizations for the looming reality of 2013 when mobile devices are expected to overtake PC's as the most common web access devices worldwide!
