HCL Technologies (HCL), a global IT services company, has announced partnership with CAST, the software analysis and measurement company, to further strengthen HCL’s Software Assessment Services ‘ASSESS-SMART’ through the suite of CAST tools.
‘ASSESS-SMART’, that provides software quality assessment service to HCL’s worldwide clients, will be augmented by the CAST AIP tool that allows analysis and measurement of essential structural quality attributes such as reliability, performance, security, maintainability and sizing of applications with varying complexity.
“As applications increasingly become core to the business transformation and operations of an enterprise, it has become important to embed greater degrees of predictability and performance assurance into the system. HCL is at the forefront of the next wave of establishing these quality standards of the future through its ‘ASSESS-SMART’ Services,” said Rajiv Sodhi, Sr. Corporate Vice President and Chief Customer Officer for Consumer Services, Manufacturing, Public Services, Enterprise Transformation and Strategic Sourcing, HCL Technologies.
“Our alliance with CAST is one step in this direction and we are confident that their suite of tools will further augment our capabilities to deliver increased quality and cost-effectiveness of application development and maintenance initiatives to our customers,” he added.
The CAST AIP along with HCL’s own proprietary IPs in this space will ensure a substantially reduced risk of high impact business disruptions due to application unavailability, security issues and performance problems in the application environment.
“CAST, the world leader in software analysis and measurement, recently recognised by Gartner as having “the potential to change the Application Services market in a significant way” helps global application outsourcing leaders like HCL Technologies to produce and certify high quality business applications based on universally accepted software quality standards such as CISQ. The client set of our partner will stand to immensely benefit from this partnership.” said Vincent Delaroche, CEO, CAST.
