Data Warehousing
Building a data warehouse is critical for companies in competitive industries. The data warehouses must be flexible and scalable to support millions of terabytes. Users must have fast and easy access to the data to analyze trends and respond quickly as opportunities appear. ASA takes a strong pragmatic approach, in order to design, deploy, and manage a successful data warehouse and decision support strategy. The process starts with strategy development and review. This focuses around the strategic and tactical objectives of the organization, what each division needs, and data acquisition opportunities. Next step is that of logical and physical architecture design for decision support environments which is based around building a consistent, useful repository.ASA ensures that the server platform elements, middleware, and client tools all fit in with the existing infrastructure.
Quality Assurance
Billions of dollars are wasted every year due to applications that do not work, are faulty, or do not perform adequately. Quality assurance is a critical concern for companies that either produce commercial software or develop internal applications. In order to ensure that their people are productive and that customers are satisfied, companies need to implement quality assurance programs.
It makes sense to outsource the quality assurance processes to highly skilled QA companies like ASA. At ASA, the quality assurance process includes test plan development, software requirements verification, application integration, regression, and performance testing and load or stress testing. If the company is global or the customer base is worldwide, ASA also handles internationalized software testing.With the advances in automated software testing in the past few years, the need for skilled operators of automated testing tools from Rational (IBM), Mercury Interactive, and Compuware is critical for companies that need to deliver robust, fully functioning applications. ASA's quality assurance professionals are skilled at the entire software quality assurance processes, and can help you design, deploy, and manage your software QA processes.
