New Delhi – January 24, 2012 – GlobalLogic, a leader in software R&D services, today announced that Kevah Works, an end-to-end mobile application service it developed for Valorem Systems in Australia, has received the prestigious 2011 InClean Award for Innovative IT Technology in Australia.Kevah Works, designed from the ground up for facilities services such as cleaning, maintenance, and landscaping, is a result of eight years of R&D by Valorem Systems, in tandem with application development services by GlobalLogic.Providing a comprehensive solution for quality assurance, site inspections and audits, periodical inspections, work orders and extra work, the application allows secure levels of access and reporting for staff and clients across the worksite.

Valorem Systems will market Kevah Works to Indian facilities management companies in 2012. A Netscribes India report *, estimated the size of India’s Infrastructure and facilities management industry to be more than Rs 300 billion, presenting a significant opportunity for innovative applications for facilities management.

“At GlobalLogic, we help our clients bring their ideas to life through end-to-end product development,” said Mr. Sunil K Singh, Managing Director, GlobalLogic. “Kevah Works is a great example of that practice. Our partnership with Valorem Systems enables us to help deliver innovative technology that will enhance the experience of building service providers. With technology-specific expertise that our consumer team brings to product development, GlobalLogic will continue to help Valorem deliver the kinds of effective solutions for which it has come to be known."

Mr. Singh added, “A dedicated team based out of our Noida office developed and will maintain Kevah Works on behalf of Valorem Systems.”

The Kevah Works mobile application is supported on Android, Apple iOS, Windows and Blackberry devices. It uses an emerging technology called rho mobile to reduce maintenance costs – enabling one version of the code base to work on all different devices. All the logical features like filling forms, periodical inspections and data collection are supported in both the desktop and mobile versions. Users can create and edit jobs, inspection forms, work orders and extra-works, and also fill in inspection and feedback forms when on the move. Those changes can later be synched to the server. The development for Kevah Mobility is nearly complete and will be released shortly.

“GlobalLogic is a part of the extended Valorem team, and they deserve the recognition for winning the InClean award as much as we do,” said Jon Tinberg, Managing Director, Valorem Systems Australia.“Kevah Works was developed after seven years of industry feedback and R&D by our team, all of which the GlobalLogic team evaluated in developing the product for us. Our aim was to create a simple web-based solution that is platform-agnostic and cost-effective and addresses all our customers’ needs.”

He added, “India, with its strong infrastructure growth and ongoing investments, presents a tremendous market opportunity for Kevah Works, and we will bring the service to the Indian building service contractors and professionals in the facilities management industry in 2012.”
