Boston-based facility manager uses Visionary and NetCure� to “revolutionize” management
Newton, Mass—October 13, 2004—Rocket Software today announced that UNICCO Service Company, one of the country’s largest facilities services companies, has deployed two of its products, NetCure and Visionary. Rocket is a global development firm that has created more than 60 software products that are sold through companies ranging from IBM to RSA Security to Microsoft. UNICCO is a $700 million company that provides facility-management services to a wide range of customers including corporate, education, retail, industrial and government markets.
