Software Quality Center: Accomplished Leaders in Quality Management Systems (QMS)

In the past two decades, significant strides have been made in the QA area. From being nothing more than Quality=Testing back in the 80s and 90s to evolving as a sought after niche by itself. The reasons behind this transformation are the strides made in certifications and the wide variety of models and standards which have emerged to guide organizations in using best practices for all aspects of their business. This has resulted in better quality and business performance and has also evolved organizations’ emphasis on quality as they take a proactive approach to have quality practices “built-in.” However, having to compete fiercely in their markets, companies have to “push the product out of the door” without due emphasis on quality. This where Software Quality Center (SQC) makes a difference. “We preach and hold our clients throughout our engagement (a key differentiator for us), with a “Walk with you” approach, through our training, consulting and certification/appraisal services that leaves them stronger, not for just barely meeting compliance,” says Kris Puthucode, the president and CEO of Software Quality Center (SQC).

SQC’s methodology focuses on using management systems and best practices to facilitate a preventive attitude in engineers and organizations, rather than just one of the corrective actions or for compliance alone. The company’s engagement model has always been an end to end provider of starting with an understanding and diagnosis of its client organizations’ strengths and weaknesses vis-à-vis their business goals and performance objectives, not purelyvis-à-vis the models or standards. This solely then becomes the focus of the further action plans and activities that SQC engages in. “We even provide training and consulting guidance to augment the clients’ staff with our resources while improved practices are being piloted and implemented,” explains Puthucode.

The proof of the pudding is a constant “before and after” comparison in terms of tangible, quantitative performance improvement. The most superlative example can be the case where SQC has been engaged with large multinational systems and products in the engineering sector in facilitating quality improvements.
