Innovant ensures the Quality and Reliability of Software Solutions

In many software development projects, one way to reduce project risks is to augment or outsource quality assurance activities to a proven software development services provider. Moreover, strict release deadlines or an overextended development effort may leave little time for product testing. Additionally, some organizations may have little experience in quality assurance procedures and seek a partner to provide this software development function.

Innovant's ISO 9001 certified quality assurance methodology ensures application reliability for a wide range of operating systems, platforms, applications and tools before going live. We simulate real workloads, traffic, scalability, and reliability situations. Moreover, Innovant ensures the continuity of business software functionality while underlying applications, databases, middleware, and operating systems change independently over time.

Innovant offers the following QA services:

• Application Reliability

• Load/Stress Testing

• Software Testing and Test Management

Innovant is the partner of choice for outsourcing Application Maintenance and Support

Outsourcing software maintenance and support is a great way to eliminate a cost center and reap the economic advantages of offshore outsourcing. An in-house IT team should focus on more strategic tasks, while the tactical implementation of those tasks can be outsourced offshore. When handled in-house, unexpected, though necessary, maintenance work decreases the effectiveness of management, as these extraordinary maintenance tasks divert IT professionals from there planned tasks. Finally, in-house professionals do not enjoy working with aging technology and are difficult to find and replace.

Innovant engages in several different types of partnerships with our clients to provide a dedicated trouble-shooting team to streamline patches and workarounds, and offer other recommendations for fine-tuning. Innovant employs Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to provide 24/7 support at all levels.

Innovant provides the following application maintenance and support services:

• Off and on-site maintenance

• Bug fixing and trouble shooting

• Bug tracking and reporting

• Fine-tuning and improvement to product functionality

• Research and design of new features
