Your organization could be one of those where there are no "off-the-shelf" products readily available in the market that matches your specific requirements thus in need for a custom designed and developed application to be built from the scratch. Or it could be that there is such an "off-the-shelf" product available, but require modifications to make it work for your business processes.

When pressures driven by 'time to market" factors comes in to the mix, inevitably most products are suffered due to inadequate and short QA cycles. Leveraging a team of "fresh pairs of eyes" or a "QA Police" working ion a different time zone, outside your product development team will not only enable extended and extensive QA cycles which will help take your product to its next level of quality, but will also provide rigorous regression cycles to "Uncover ->Report -> Fix" the defects to take place within a single business day. At Centiura, our QA process is an integral part of every one of our engagements. Our process incorporates QA from the inception phase itself rather than leaving it to the end of the development cycle. Our seasoned QA specialists understand that fixing software defects towards the end of an engagement can prove to be much more expensive than proactively removing defects during design and development. This approach is critical since nearly 65% of all defects arise from bad design or misunderstood requirements. Our specialists have the knowledge and experience to provide the outsourced software testing and quality assurance services that your company need to achieve the success you desire. We partner with you to help solve your technical issues and the real-world business challenges they present. Be it testing, test automation or test planning you require, trust Centiura to help you get your product to market on time and on budget with a supreme quality. 
If you are a product company where your product is operating on multiple platforms, for a specific major release to the market, your main stream developers may have been working hard on a series of new product features, enhancements and or defect fixes aiming to get them all out in the market within a specific target date. These changes would have been made on a single development reference platform. In order to get these working on additional platforms, it will most likely require changes to the application code. These changes will account for differences that exist in application servers, databases, or operating systems. Examples of platform migrations might be moving from Websphere 4 to Websphere 5 or moving from Oracle 8i to Oracel 9i. Or, it may be that as part of your strategic plan, you are planning to port your product to a new operating platform that was previously unsupported. An example of this would be moving to the HPUX platform. An example of this would be moving to the HPUX platform. Such porting effort may require certain portions of the application to be re-architected or re-implemented to produce the needed functionality based on the new operating environment. Centiura's experienced team specializing on Platform Certification and Application Porting can assist you in this platform/technology certification/porting efforts. Our team will carefully analyze the required code/architecture changes and the testing scope and devise an implementation strategy to accomplish the certification or porting in the most time and cost effective way for you. 
You may have a legacy system in place of which the maintenance has become too painful. Or it could be that you like what you already have, but wish for a more feature enriched version. Or it could be that adapting a new technology brings more productivity to your work place than maintaining the system built of an outdated technology. Achieving platform/technology flexibility could include re-engineering software to migrate applications legacy systems to client/server architectures, to extend existing applications to the Internet, to migrate from existing applications to UNIX or Windows NT, or to update from a non-relational to a relational database technology. Application Migration is one of our key strengths.
