Everything we do is based on the highest standards of quality. Our approach is planned, systematic, and repeatable. It establishes definitive responsibilities and accountability, methods for process and product measurement, and regular reporting. Quality issues are identified, communicated, tracked, and resolved. Quality control and verification and validation procedures are planned and executed, utilizing client reviews, inspections, peer reviews, and rigorous internal and user testing. Internal QA audit procedures are planned, executed, and documented to verify that established SDLC processes are followed. Our internal QA methods prevent defects in software and other deliverables, missed or wrongly implemented requirements, and in the case of service level agreement performance standards for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) work, such measures as incident response time. We apply process monitoring and pre-emptive corrective actions throughout the project lifecycle that allow us to confidently deliver premium solutions and service levels to our clients.
