FAILED RESULTS FROM AN ONGOING INITIATIVE WITH ANOTHER VENDOR PROMPTS CLIENT TO EVALUATE A NEW PARTNERSHIP TO DRIVE RESULTS

The client conducted a Kaizen event that prioritized focus for the organization: transform quality assurance (QA), testing and automation practices. The client chose Kforce based on our ability to provide thought leadership and technical guidance while breaking down complicated topics into consumable workstreams.

Problem

Solution

With demonstrated experience across a myriad of quality and test automation fundamentals, the team was able to deliver immediate value

Kforce launched the project in two phases by first deploying a team lead and two technical consultants. Combined expertise of the team included building maturity models, web and legacy testing automation (Jagacy & Selenium), automation frameworks, knowledge across systems, developing centers of excellence and best practices. Phase one consisted of assessing the project's current state, future state design and project roadmap. During phase two, Kforce successfully implemented the roadmap and cost-justified recommendations.
