Quality Assurance and IV&V
One of the most popular services that Peak Performance Technologies offers is
our 3rd party assurance model. Our firm employs experts who know how to manage
software and integrator selections, implementations and upgrades and large scale
I/T initiatives. Many of our team have worked for the software vendors, the
largest global system integrators or were in leadership positions within
education or government agencies. We know how to manage these projects and we
know the tricks of the trade to keep the software and consulting firms honest.
Customers like to hire us to provide routine quality assurance audits on their
projects at predefined intervals. We have provided a matrix of the key services
we provide and the corresponding implementation phase.
