QATalyst™ improves software quality with on-demand proactive quality process
Boston, MA, September 14, 2011 – Keane, Inc., an NTT DATA Company and a U.S.-based IT services firm, today announced that its QATalyst™ solution has been recognized on InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the top technology innovators in the U.S. The 2011 list was revealed last night at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference taking place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, CA. This year marks the sixth consecutive year Keane has made this prestigious list.
“The goal of the award winning QATalyst solution is to help CIOs accelerate the change that drives business innovation, and software is often the key,” said John McCain, president and CEO of Keane. “To remain competitive, it is important for companies to bring new software to market as quickly as possible. By optimizing software quality with QATalyst, organizations stand to save as much as 35 – 40% of the average total quality investments typically made, while accelerating change – a true innovation.”
The QATalyst solution was designed to address quality across the entire software development lifecycle. The solution serves as a missing link for the industry and delivers four critical pieces previously missing from most organizations’ quality repertoire, including quality by design, on-demand test environment management, on-demand performance testing in the cloud and data quality automation. These components complement Keane’s established quality solution set, helping address the quality problems that plague the industry.
“For 23 years, the InformationWeek 500 has chronicled and honored the most innovative users of business technology,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. “In this day and age, however, being innovative isn’t enough. Companies and their IT organizations need to innovate faster than ever before to stay a step or two ahead of their customers, partners, and competitors. This year’s ranking placed special emphasis on those high-octane business technology innovators.”
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America’s best-known companies. Top winners have included: The Vanguard Group, CME Group, Conway, National Semiconductor, Kimberly-Clark, Hilton Hotels and Unum. The InformationWeek 500 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
