Triple Ring Technologies Partners with Product Realization Group

NEWARK, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Triple Ring Technologies, a Newark, CA-based provider of technology and product development services, announced today that it has joined the Product Realization Group (PRG), a leading provider of one-stop outsourcing services for the medical device community, as a Senior Partner. In addition, Geetha Rao, Triple Ring's Vice President of Strategy and Risk Management, has joined PRG's Board.

Speeding Time to Market for Medical Device Entrepreneurs

The new relationship allows Triple Ring to offer a broader level of expertise and resources in the development of diagnostics, therapeutic, and imaging systems for medical device and life science companies. Working together, the two organizations can offer clients a coordinated, seamless transfer between phases of a developmental project, speeding time to market and reducing the chance for miscommunications between non-coordinated development teams during project handoffs. As a result, medical device entrepreneurs will be able to work with a single entity on all aspects of a development project, from building a prototype and clinical proof of concept through the production of initial commercial units for pilot manufacturing.

Joe Heanue, President of Triple Ring, said the strategic partnership will provide significant leverage to companies who want to explore a virtual business model. "Our goal is to help entrepreneurs get their company's products to market quickly without investing the time and resources to build a development team and infrastructure from scratch," he said. "PRG is a strong partner that allows us to leverage our strengths further down the development path into other facets of product design and manufacturing."

"We've been looking for the company with the right capabilities to complement PRG's strengths," according to Michael Keer, CEO of PRG. "Triple Ring brings the front end research and development know-how to complement the strong operations expertise already in the group, and they share both our approach to solving difficult technology problems as well as our core values."
