Industry leader in developing online customized student assessment teams with Nearshore software engineering services specialist to improve quality assurance
Mountain View, CA – Jan. 12, 2012
Avantica Technologies, one of the largest Nearshore specialists providing software engineering services to both start-up and established software companies, announced today it has helped Measured Progress expand its record of quality software delivery. Measured Progress is an industry leader in the development of customized K-12 student assessments for schools, districts, and states. With more than 400 employees and offices in four states, the non-profit company is focused on advancing student learning.
Avantica Technologies testing engineers, based in the company’s Latin America software engineering centers (Costa Rica and Peru), collaborating in an Agile model in the same time-zone, work closely with Measured Progress’ internal development team. The partnership delivers an effective software QA capability utilizing a set of metrics to evaluate various quality aspects; not only quality of the final product but also the quality of the whole process to deliver the final product.
“Avantica’s talented software QA engineers, located in our time-zone from Latin America, integrated quickly and easily into our internal development team,” explained Bob St. Hilaire, QA Director at Measured Progress. “This collaboration is directed toward improving our product testing approach and increasing quality. The results have been outstanding – Avantica’s engineers have been able to more aggressively identify pre-production defects. The result is higher quality with our production product release.”
St. Hilaire went on to explain: “Several contributing factors include their skills, ability to absorb domain knowledge quickly, flexibility and overall work ethic. That, along with a high level of service provided by the management staff, make doing business with Avantica easy and dependable.”
Avantica Technologies QA Service utilizes leading testing tools, while facilitating remote customer access to see the results as soon as they are generated. This enables Measured Progress to systematically deliver quality software to its customers across 17 states.

It works with state clients to provide customized, large-scale general and alternate assessments for K-12 students. Its innovative online classroom assessment and data management system, Datawise, can be used by local educators to measure student knowledge relative to state and national standards.
“Avantica’s comprehensive QA experience spanning requirements analysis, TC definition, test cycle execution, and measurable QA results delivery, insures Measured Progress continues to deliver quality software to its clients,” commented Juan Carlos Porras Rodriguez, Director of QA Services at Avantica Technologies. “Because we’re in the same time-zone, our testing is collaborative with their internal development, and aligned with their engineering goals. That means both companies can deliver on Measured Progress’ commitment to deliver the most cost-effective, efficient, and accessible solutions to the 2.5 million students it currently assesses nationwide.”

Avantica Technologies Launches Release 1.0 Service for Software Start-ups
Service enables start-ups to rapidly and economically scale their Agile-based engineering capacity
Mountain View, CA – December 27, 2011
Responding to a growing supply challenge for talented software engineers in North American, Avantica Technologies has introduced Release 1.0 for start-ups. The service targets software start-ups that need to quickly scale their development and testing team but, due to a chronic shortage of experienced software engineers, are unable to.
U.S. headquartered Avantica Technologies, a leading Nearshore specialist providing software engineering services from Latin America to both start-up and established software companies, is convinced the service will help more technology companies successfully get to market. Or, expand their existing market presence.
“Release 1.0 is a timely platform that filled our need for talented software developers and testers who could quickly integrate into our internal engineering team. The Avantica Technologies engineers were productive immediately, helping us meet our aggressive release goals,” explained ArmedZilla's Chief Engineering Officer, Bill Sutherland.
ArmedZilla is a new social networking site focused on the U.S. Military community, providing a platform to connect millions of military personnel, veterans, friends, family and supporters worldwide.
Release 1.0 is a suite of integrated software engineering services designed to enable start-ups to rapidly build, launch or expand existing software apps. In Silicon Valley alone according to the U.S. National Venture Capital Association, 40% of the 130,000 open positions are for software engineers, mainly in the social media, mobile and cloud computing technology sectors. The software industry in Austin, an important technology center, has nearly 2,000 software companies employing an estimated 20,000 people. It is the fastest-growing sector there according to Austin economist Angelos Angelou. One local Austin start-up CEO complains, however, that the challenge is there just aren’t enough good software developers to go around. The most acute need is for mobile and cloud engineers.
Avantica Technologies’ Release 1.0 is a suite of integrated software development and testing services designed to scale a start-up engineering team within days, not months or quarters. Its framework consists of:
People:
- Software Developers and QA engineers
- Scrum Masters / Project Managers
- CTO / VP Engineering
- Talented, economical and available
- Avantica Technologies customers choose the skill-set needed to integrate into their internal engineering team
Process:
- Distributed Agile expertise, highly collaborative
- Integrated extension of the start-up’s core team
- Software engineering specialization, not IT services
Place:
- Nearshore – Avantica’s software engineering centers are in Costa Rica and Peru
- U.S. corporation, headquartered in Silicon Valley
- Same U.S. time-zone, same English language
Price:
- Avantica Technologies charges a fixed monthly rate per software engineer
- Customers gain a dedicated team at a predictable cost
“The Release 1.0 Service solves to two addressable markets,” explains John Hitchcock, head of U.S. Marketing at Avantica Technologies. “One is the rapidly growing, venture funded start-up that needs to quickly release new features and integrations supporting its Consumer Web, eCommerce or Mobile app. offering. The second is the Angel or self-funded start-up looking to finish a POC or initial production software launch and needs to scale up a small engineering team.”
Avantica’s customers include innovative start-ups funded by Accel Partners, Menlo Ventures, Mohr Davidow Ventures, Mayfield Fund, Austin Ventures and other VCs; the Software 500; banks, healthcare and other industry companies. The company specializes in software engineering for cloud, social networking, consumer web, financial and mobile apps. It has helped customers release over 1,500 software products and web apps.
