One of Sogeti's key differentiators is the depth of experience and level of expertise across the full software procurement and development lifecycle which allows us to provide unrivalled advisory services in test management, strategies, automation, process and regulatory compliance at all stages in the lifecycle.

Our consultants specialise in iterative lifecycles and agile methodologies as well as traditional sequential lifecycles such as Waterfall and V-model. Where appropriate we use our industry standard methodologies, TMap®, TPI® and MTS. We also have expertise in other methodologies and standards such as CMMI, TMMI and PRINCE2.
