Sierra Atlantic's interoperability lab to boost revenues by 15-25%

Sierra Atlantic, an enterprise applications company with an offshore presence, announced a service for hardware and software product developers by setting up an interoperability lab.

The interoperability lab provides reliable, low cost testing services that enables software and hardware vendors to certify their products prior to release and allow enterprises to test products before deployment by the end-users. The company expects that the interoperability lab would increase revenue inflow between 15 and 25 per cent.

Addressing a press conference, Sarath Sura, managing director of Sierra Atlantic, said: "Our research and development experience with almost every major enterprise software vendor gives us the expertise to manage outsourced quality assurance and interoperability testing."

"This lab gives software and hardware vendors and enterprise end users assurance that a given product works the way they need it to, without incurring high post-deployment re-engineering costs," he added.

The interoperability lab also enhances the company's offerings of software application development, testing and support services for software product and appliance companies.

Sura said that the company draws upon best practices, tools and processes to provide a complete environment of industry-leading enterprise applications like Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP and Siebel installed in the lab.

"Interoperability testing includes functionality, performance, scalability, compatibility and connectivity testing. By using the lab, QA engineers can cut clients' in-house costs, shorten time-to market and ensure all tested applications are totally compatible and fully interoperable with leading enterprise applications and infrastructure products," Sura said.
