Client Challenges

  • Because Applied Biosystems had fully outsourced new development and support they had limited visibility to the quality of their code and technical documentation
  • Wanted capability to monitor ongoing quality and cost of output from 3rd party provider

How Pierce Washington Helped

  • Conducted a detailed technical audit of the delivered code and documentation from outsourced provider
  • Developed a prioritized list of potential solution improvements
  • Developed proposed staffing requirements to evaluate cost of continuing with 3rd party provider vs. bringing development and support back in house

Results

  • Applied Biosystems now has the tools and processes to ensure on-going code and documentation quality
  • Applied Biosystems now has a technical roadmap that ensures best practices
