Our Progressive Approach to using Offshore Software Development

AC Corporation understands that successful technology projects depend on clear communication between the client and the technology outsourcer. Communication is especially critical for businesses wishing to reap the many benefits of offshore software technology outsourcing. A strong, face-to-face client relationship helps both the client and AC Corporation create exactly the right solution.

That's why AC Corporation projects are delivered by a global team of resources, with 10-30% of the team members located domestically and the remaining team located in an offshore software development center. Development teams are supported by core technology groups and project management resources that provide technical competencies on an as-needed basis. Both the onsite and offshore teams collaborate on common systems linked through our global network.

Onsite Team interacts daily with the client to:

• Define requirements
• Review prototypes
• Manage project scope changes

Offshore Team:

• Ensures quality development and testing
• Reduces costs

Quality Assurance Processes

Software problems are significantly more expensive to find and repair after deployment than beforehand. For this reason, it is important to continuously assess the quality of a software system with respect to its functionality, reliability and performance.

In order to ensure customer satisfaction by timely delivery of high quality products and services AC Corporation follows a quality management process which provides for:

• Planned and systematic set of problem-prevention activities that modify IT development processes to prevent introduction of flaws
• Monitoring and improving the software engineering process, making sure that any agreed-upon standards and procedures are followed, and ensuring that any problems and flaws are detected and resolved

AC Corporation is committed to providing quality excellence in all phases of application development to ensure consistency in requirements, designs and implementations. We are actively engaged in the following vital activities for all client engagements:

• Project Plan Reviews
• Software Requirements Specification Reviews
• Software Architecture Reviews
• Software Design Reviews
• Code Inspections
• Test Plans and Testing Procedures Reviews
• Software Testing
• Internal Audits

Core Infrastructure
