Industries We Work In

We create reliable and trusted software experiences, unleashing the power of innovation for tech-first innovators, across a broad range of industries from automotive to media to aerospace, government, retail and beyond. 

Retail

Never has one industry faced so much disruption than retail has in the past twenty years. From the eCommerce revolution to same-day delivery technology, COVID impacts, supply chain shortages, and more, the world is watching for what’s next in retail. QA Consultants prepares retail clients with the latest trends, tech, best practices, and solutions to propel product launch, reduce abandonment, decrease revenue loss, improve velocity, improve time to market, meet accessibility guidelines, maximize software security, and elevate quality. With a dedication to delivering a flawless consumer experience and increasing value for overall IT and QA spend, QA Consultants maximizes software performance, security, quality, and accessibility to achieve desired return on investment — whether you’re launching a national promotional campaign or developing, selling or implementing new software.

Communications, Media, & Technology

Technology’s evolution and integration into every industry, business, and household brings significant challenges – not only for providers, developers, and manufacturers, but it also poses issues for the end user of the software.

Our quality engineers work the latest innovative tech and approaches for national and regional telecom providers, media entities, entertainment creators and distributors, software and technology entities, as well as adjacent suppliers, to ensure consumer devices – and the infrastructure that connects us all – delivers a reliable, secure, scalable, and flawless experience.

Transportation

QA Consultants and ALTEN have a 30-year history of supporting the biggest companies in these industries, and their suppliers, with engineering and software quality.

Energy

Power up the digital stack that delivers the critical resources to keep us all moving, working, learning, playing, and more. When it comes to energy and utilities, consumers often underestimate their reliance on them until there’s an issue – an outage or diminished service. And the providers will be the first to know about it. By taking a digital- and quality-first approach to infrastructure and the systems that run them, QA Consultants supports energy and utility companies to deliver more reliable and cost-effective service.

Government

Today, government agencies are defining the future and baseline standards as it relates to technology, delivery, access, and more for its citizens, employers, and employees. Through regulatory action and oversight, private industry and government agencies embrace mission-critical projects with the duty to protect and service its citizens despite declining human and financial resources. We empower government agencies to embrace and implement emerging technology to meet these challenges head-on with predictability, reliability, and a high-level of service.

Healthcare and Life Sciences 

Healthcare has seen significant transformation and risk for modern healthcare systems and life sciences organizations to comply with growing regulatory and technology requirements. In support of these systems, policy administration, regulation, and integration are critical aspects for quality in healthcare today, as well as for medtech development and implementation.
