Mapping Analytics Selects Provaré Technology As Its Software Quality Partner

Alpharetta, GA, April 7, 2008 — Provaré Technology today announced that it has been chosen as the sole software quality partner for Mapping Analytics LLC. Mapping Analytics is a leading provider of GIS-based software with a variety of sales and marketing applications. Provaré will be responsible for planning and executing test plans for all of Mapping Analytics new products and releases.

Gary Schwartz, Mapping Analytics Director of Software Development, made the final decision to go with Provaré Technology. “As a small company with a correspondingly small QA budget, Mapping Analytics really needed a resource that we could use on an as-needed basis,” says Schwartz. “Provaré’s unmatched flexibility was a perfect fit for us. Once we talked with Bill, we were totally comfortable that we had found the right quality partner. Whenever we need QA help in the future, we’ll be calling Provaré.”

When Mr. Schwartz mentions Provaré’s flexibility, he is referring to Provaré’s unusual willingness and ability to take very small tasks – as small as just a few hours – with minimal notice and no minimum time or dollar commitment. “We’ve done testing jobs as small as 5 hours,” says Bill Tepper, CEO of Provaré Technology, a fact that he is obviously proud of. “Regardless of what a P.O. [purchase order] or a test plan may say, if a customer needs us to stop testing, we simply stop – no questions asked. If we’ve only done 3 hours of work, they’ll only get billed for 3 hours.”

But their flexibility is obviously not the only consideration for Provaré’s clients. It is one thing to offer to do small tasks, it is quite another to actually deliver usable and useful results in such a short period of time. “Our goal has always been to establish ourselves as a company that can be trusted to produce superior results regardless of the size of the task,” says Tepper. “Our customers are invariably pleasantly surprised at how quickly we start finding bugs and how well we document them.”

The new contract has no expiration date and allows Mapping Analytics to take advantage of any combination of Provaré services.
