Quality Consulting

To remain competitive in the global market, companies are striving hard to increase productivity, reduce cycle times and deliver defect-free products. And with IT as a key competitive differentiator, enterprises need to deploy high quality applications, whether developed internally, or sourced from service providers. Traditionally, this has been a complicated process, requiring specialized expertise and untiring effort and attention.

Establishing a mature process and improving quality continuously requires:
