Rubric Joins, Contributes to APM

London, Boston, San Jose, San Francisco – March 22, 2006 – Rubric today announced their corporate membership in the Association for Project Management, and their intent to contribute to APM's ongoing Body of Knowledge.

“APM documents and promotes the best practices for project management, in both traditional and electronically connected teams," said Ian Henderson, CEO of Rubric. "Rubric was a pioneer of global project management through the Internet, and wants to share that expertise with APM members.”

“The Internet has made routine global project management a reality," said Françoise Spurling, COO for Rubric. "However, managing projects that involve different people, in different time zones, and speaking different languages creates an entirely new set of issues for which many project managers are ill equipped."

Rubric, a global provider of localization, translation, and language services has leveraged the Internet for over a decade, managing clients, employees, and customers around the world.

"APM's origins as INTERNET UK echoes our experiences," said Henderson. "Bridging complex projects across distant geographies requires extreme discipline, and these disciplines must be learned. That is APM's most significant value – educating project managers on those disciplines necessary for a project to succeed."
