Steria becomes first IT Services organisation in
India to conduct TMMi eSurveys
1/31/2012 4:34:00 PM
Steria India partners with Experimentus to become among the first organisations in
India to offer Test Maturity Model Integrated (TMMi) e-surveys.
Noida, Uttar Pradesh; Chennai, Tamil Nadu; Pune, Maharashtra, India: Steria India
partners with Experimentus to become among the first organisations in India to offer Test
Maturity Model Integrated (TMMi) e-surveys.
Steria India, a leading provider of IT enabled business services, and Experimentus, the
software quality management consulting firm, today announced a strategic partnership to
service the growing needs of the Testing and Quality Assurance (QA) community in India.
This follows the launch of the three part Steria RightTestingTM service in February which
helps clients identify the critical risk and quick-win opportunities in testing operations and
improve quality, enhancing Steria’s existing Consultancy offering.
This partnership will streamline the development process, helping Steria customers to
identify the strengths and weaknesses across the full software development life cycle,
challenging the traditional testing model. This will highlight issues that need to be
addressed in setup to ensure the best products and services are brought to market.
TMMi has become a well respected industry acclaimed standard against which
organisations can measure and improve software testing and quality related processes as
well as benchmark their level of maturity. The e-surveys are already used by financial
services, telecommunications, media, retail and healthcare organisations in continental
Europe, UK, Singapore and India.
Dr. Mukesh Aghi, CEO, Asia Pacific, of Steria said “India is a growing market so it is great
to see that both the IT community and Indian organisations have started to understand
the value of an independent third party testing gateway testing service. Businesses are
constantly on the look out to find ways to improve their internal testing functions and
Steria India can provide a quick view into the maturity of testing functions. We are already
talking a lot about it to our customers and prospects and they are very excited to get their
testing functions assessed to TMMi maturity levels.”
Customers want to know where they stand today and want help in deciding where they can
go tomorrow. Ultimately, it is about optimising cost by doing things the right way and
making sure that the offerings that are brought to market are the best they can be.
Julian Clarke, director of sales and marketing at Experimentus commented, “We are
delighted to be working with Steria India and making the TMMi e-Survey available to the
Indian market. Many organisations have previously used TMMi to independently measure
and identify improvements in their own test and quality capabilities but more recently we
have seen TMMi become part of the evaluation criteria when selecting a supplier which has
driven the need for formal TMMi Certification. As a first step towards Improvement or
Certification we developed our TMMi e-Survey solution to help quickly identify areas for
improvement and provide those organisations wanting formal certification with an informal
but useful indication of their maturity level.”
