New York, NY – December 10, 2008 - http://www.skyitgroup.com/SWAPPID/102/SubPageID/35740

SKY I.T. Group, heavily focused on Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and a premier software alliance member with HP,  today announced a wide range of software support, consulting services and training to assist customers with their shift to HP Quality Center 10.0.  With extended functionality built into this release, Sky I.T. Group has already put motions into delivering the most complete process-driven solutions around HP Quality Center. These solution complementary offerings will help customers govern change across the entire application lifecycle.

 

“The vast majority of software project failures occur directly as a result of poor release management, limited-to-no requirements gathering, lack of test management and analysis," said Lydia Casillas, VP, HP Software Solutions Group at SKY I.T. Group. "To circumvent this, organizations need to bridge the gap between business and IT more effectively via better communication with one another and by coordinating different phases of the application lifecycle – including releases and requirements – to improve quality, prioritize and manage change. This is the key to business alignment and the success of software projects."

 

“Working with HP Quality Center, we help combine every major phase to manage the application lifecycle into one comprehensive web-based platform. This provides teams with the real-time information on the actual state of software development in their organization necessary to make intelligent, informed decisions, while delivering unique functionality and a significant return on investment,”  said Jay Hakami, President at SKY I.T. Group.
