			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>8over8 today added to its multi lingual capabilities of ProCon. ProCon is now available in Russian which is an important milestone in 8over8&#8217;s plans to deliver solutions to oil &#038; gas operators and contractors in Russian speaking markets.  A central challenge in managing contracts is managing the relationships between the parties to the contract and this is enhanced when contracting parties can use their native language. Russian speaking contractors seeking to do business with oil and gas operators that use ProCon can now register and get complete RFI and Pre Qualification templates in their native language.</p>
