Quality assurance is a critical concern for companies that either produce commercial software or develop internal applications. Billions of dollars are wasted every year due to applications that do not work, are faulty, or do not perform adequately.In order to ensure that their people are productive and that customers are satisfied, companies need to implement quality assurance programs.
It makes sense to outsource the quality assurance process to highly skilled QA professionals. The quality assurance process includes test plan development; software requirements verification; application integration, regression, and performance testing; and load or stress testing. If the company is global or the customer base is worldwide, internationalized software testing may be required. With the advances in automated software testing in the past few years, the need for skilled operators of automated testing tools from Rational (IBM), Mercury Interactive, and Computerware is critical for companies that need to deliver robust, fully functioning applications.
Agate Solutions quality assurance professionals are skilled at the entire software quality assurance process, and can help you design, deploy, and manage your software QA process.
Every system should have at least one person, a systems administrator, in charge of system maintenance and operation. It is the responsibility of system administrators to ensure the smooth operation of the system and to perform a wide variety of tasks that require special privileges. In most cases, it makes sense for companies to outsource this function.
Agate Solutions professionals possess a strong understanding of Windows NT/2000, MS-SQL, Oracle database technologies as well as end user applications.
In the Linux world, our consultants are familiar with Linux system administration tools: COAS, Linuxconf, Webmin and YAST. Agate Solutions systems administrators are skilled at the many technologies available to manage, monitor, and improve the system.Supply chain tools Companies looking for efficiencies in the value chain have implemented supply chain manufacturing applications for the past two decades.Many of these companies have also implemented B2B marketplace technologies in recent years to ensure efficiencies throughout the supply chain. The requirements of supply chain or business-to-business (B2B) integration are ideal for Microsoft .NET-connected software. Each of the many enterprises along a supply chain needs to minimize its cost of doing business and maximize return on investment.
To achieve that, an enterprise needs to look at its resources — its available inventory, its production capacity, the size and location of its warehouses — and optimize the use of those resources. For example, PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management delivers real-time, synchronized supply chains — enabling organizations to respond in real time to changes in demand and supply.BEA WebLogic also provides a unified platform for building, extending, integrating, deploying, and managing applications as end-to-end business processes.
