Provaré Technology Significantly Expands Its Role for Scientific CAD Software Client

Alpharetta, GA, April 17, 2008 — Provaré Technology remains the sole external testing resource for its scientific CAD software client in California. After almost two years of working with this client, Provaré has solidly established itself as a dependable go-to resource with both superior testing expertise and the ability to quickly learn the scientific and mathematical concepts required to test their world-renowned products. To that end, Provaré has increased its role and its level of effort with this client dramatically over the past 2 years.

“During the 2 years that we have worked with this client, we have seen astonishingly large turnover on their software testing team,” says Bill Tepper, CEO of Provaré Technology. “When they first approached us for help back in 2006, they were very clear that this was difficult work at which few engineers were successful. Apparently, their recruiting and hiring challenge has not gotten any easier. In fact, Provaré is the most senior ‘member’ of their team right now. Other than the testing manager and the two product test leads, every member of the testing staff has turned over at least once since mid 2006.”

Provaré often gets questions from potential new clients about staff continuity, which is to be expected. “Most of our ‘competitors’ are actually staffing agencies, even if they claim to specialize in software quality,” says Tepper. “This makes it practically impossible for them to achieve long-term continuity without continuous contracts. Our project-focused business model recognizes that our ‘intellectual property’ is not in our resumé database, but rather in the minds of our engineers. So we place a tremendous emphasis on hiring the very best engineers and then training and retaining them – for life if possible.”

Provaré recently received two new purchase orders totaling $244,400 from the subject client. Each of the two purchase orders is for testing to be performed on one of the client’s two flagship design products. In the last two years, Provaré’s role has grown from doing occasional testing one one of this client’s products to serving as a primary testing resource for both of its products. Provaré has now participated in multiple versions of these two products from concept to release.

“We are very grateful for the faith that our clients place in us,” says Tepper. “We never want to take any of these relationships for granted. If anything ever keeps me awake at night, it is my concern that we continue to meet their expectations as we grow. I guess if we can do that, we don’t have to worry too much about our future.”
