Rural Sourcing Services
Outsourcing in the Heartland of America
QAT Global can help your company power through the age of information with our broad spectrum of software solutions using our rural sourcing services. By covering the entire software development cycle, we can take an idea and develop it into an integrated finished product. In contrast, we can also coordinate with your company’s existing software team to provide only needed services, such as efficient development or independent quality assurance testing. Our experts will work with you to leverage the software services that will best advance your company towards its goals, and our integration of rural sourcing ensures that the services provided fit your business needs.

Testing
We partner with you to ensure your mission-critical software assets and systems are stable, functioning properly, and delivering the level of quality expected by your customers and internal users. You can have the right people doing the right work at the right price.
Drive out cost and increase employee satisfaction by keeping your employees focused on development and delegating quality assurance to our cost-effective testing services. Testing is our focus. We do the extensive QA work many developers dislike and avoid. We provide the needed expertise and management skills to do the job right.
QAT Global’s testing services include ERP Testing, Security & Privacy Testing, Automated Testing, Script Use Case Development, Script Use Case Execution, Usability, and Documentation. Our testing practice combines superior testing services with the SCRUM and Agile development methodologies.
Through our reliable, efficient domestic sourcing model, we can provide superior testing services that enable a faster go live without sacrificing quality. QAT Global can do this by providing a flexible service offering that allows for testing during the entire development of the project or once a project nears completion, whichever the client prefers. This flexibility gives our clients the comfort in knowing that their product will work the first time while minimizing business risk.

Agile – The New Delivery Standard
Agile is the new delivery standard. And successfully delivering from a remote project center is the highest standard, not often achieved. At QAT Global we’ve been delivering agile projects remotely for over ten years. From mobile application development to global deployments, including Java, CA Gen, Business Intelligence, and e-commerce, we’ve delivered agile On-Premise and Cloud-based solutions. Today, 80% of all QAT Global’s engagements are agile and successfully executed from our project centers, with little or no onsite resource presence. This means you can accelerate delivery schedules, keep your costs to a minimum while preserving the knowledge of your application in one central location. Agile and QAT Global’s rural-based sourcing options create a powerful solution for today’s time to market and technical resource demands.
