LogicaCMG Launches Global Testing Initiative to Help Companies Reduce Testing Costs by up to 30 per Cent

LONDON, June 1 -- LogicaCMG today launches its global strategic and managed testing business with the aim to help companies reduce product and software testing costs by up to 30 per cent. LogicaCMG's international testing propositions are helping organisations to implement the most effective testing strategy in large scale lifecycle and end-user testing projects based on a global testing network combined with LogicaCMG's global service delivery model.

The global testing initiative headed up by Anton Martens brings together more than 30 years of experience by LogicaCMG in application development and testing with more than 1500 career testers and test factories in India, Morocco and the Czech Republic. LogicaCMG has collected best practices into a structured test methodology and has created a portfolio of propositions using its blended delivery model, which excels through a combination of customer proximity, domain knowledge and effective delivery.

The testing market is changing and growing fast. Mergers, acquisitions and globalisation increase the complexity of IT systems. Organisations are increasingly looking at internal IT consolidation, often in combination with outsourcing. This trend has a huge impact on the way effective and efficient testing needs to be addressed. The traditional approach of delivery based testing is moving to results based testing that utilises new delivery models including outsourcing and off-shoring.

Anton Martens, director for testing at LogicaCMG, said: "Today, the pressure on testing is intense because systems are increasingly complex and interlinked, and errors have never been as visible. Failure is not an option. Yet organisations find it hard to test successfully and cost effectively. LogicaCMG can handle booking procedures, configuration and upgrades. We can take responsibility for the processes, the people who operate them, and the tools they use to do it. We make sure that the environment is always representative and ready when needed, avoiding delays and cost escalation. If organisations have no facilities, we can establish a new test environment but if they do, we can operate and develop the facilities to meet individual requirements."
