New services to enhance development and testing and assist in the transition to Agile.
Dublin; 15 June, 2010: Sogeti Ireland, the IT services company, today announced the launch of a new suite of services that will help clients realise the benefits of Agile software development and testing. Sogeti’s Agile Services can support companies already using Agile approaches as well as those considering the transition to Agile.
‘Organisations are under increasing pressure to launch new software and applications quickly to drive revenue growth, reduce costs and/or improve quality’’ commented John McArdle, COO, Sogeti Ireland. ‘Adopting an Agile development approach is increasingly seen as an effective approach to achieving these business goals. Our research indicates that over 60% of all companies have either already adopted agile methods or they are planning to do so in the near future. However, many organisations are uncertain about whether Agile is the best approach to take for their particular projects or are uncertain on the first steps to take.’
‘Drawing on our considerable Agile development and testing experience with many public and private-sector organisations, we have developed a comprehensive portfolio of consulting, training & implementation services appropriate to all stages of Agile adoption.’ Continued McArdle.
The new services will be officially launched at a webinar on 22 June 2010. The webinar ‘Agile Adoption: Patterns of Success and Failure’ will be presented by John McArdle, COO, Sogeti Ireland and Colm O’Heocha of Agile Innovation.
