"We thank the AlwaysOn editorial team for including Zephyr in this elite OnDemand 100 list," said Keith Cook, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing of Zephyr. "Our approach to test management is changing the way quality teams and management are planning, executing and making business decisions to release high quality software on-time and on-budget. Enterprises now have a compelling option to replace their legacy systems."

Zephyr and the OnDemand Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s OnDemand event on April 19th, 2010, at Hewlett-Packard’s Worldwide Headquarters in Palo Alto, CA.
