Advisory
Maximizing value through quality advisory and strategy development
Quality is about more than testing
The experienced leaders at QA Consultants have over 500 years of knowledge that can be leveraged to identify risks and build practical solutions that mitigate them. With the expertise to manage an industry challenge or build a new quality assurance organization, QAC recognizes that software quality requires a holistic approach, so our assessments are not relegated to only testing or test activities. Instead, we look at expected outcomes to achieve a cohesive, comprehensive plan for sustainable maturity. This includes cost reduction, velocity improvements, and value generation from IT teams.
QA Consultants Difference
With thirty years of experience, QA Consultants is the industry leader in North American-based quality assurance service delivery (with recent rankings like the 2024 ISG Report) and we’re shaping the next generation of software through our work in blockchain, AI, and autonomy. As our services cross multiple industries and technologies, we know what works and what doesn’t. We’re driven by a reduction in cost of quality, and we know not all answers come from more testing or more bodies. Our commitment is to improve quality outcomes and reduce the cost of quality.

Not sure where to start?
Here are some typical scenarios leading to advisory engagements.
- A project is running well, but there needs to be a greater focus on quality.
- A project is trouble, and quality assurance solutions are needed quickly.
- Quality costs are increasing, and you need to get them under control.
Our advisory team is available. Not all recommendations result in more people or more tools. We use precise analysis to drill down to what’s important because we know what questions to ask.
