DCG Extends Outsourced ADM Support Offerings with the Application Code Quality Center of Excellence

MALVERN, Pennslyvania - July 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Malvern, PA - David Consulting Group (http://www.davidconsultinggroup.com), the premier global provider of Application Development & Maintenance (ADM) support solutions for software optimization, has launched its newest offering, the Application Code Quality Center of Excellence (http://www.davidconsultinggroup.com/solutions/application-code-quality-center-of-excellence/) (CoE).

The Application Code Quality CoE helps an organization to identify and address risky and/or inefficient code practices that disrupt performance and increase maintenance costs, making it easier to enhance and maintain applications at lower cost.

Powered by CAST, the market leader for software analysis and measurement, the Application Code Quality CoE is ideal for organizations with large portfolios seeking an in-depth understanding of one or more of its applications. It features two types of analysis capabilities, the Rapid Portfolio Assessment (RPA) and the Structural Quality Assessment (SQA).

The RPA is an annual assessment service that can be applied to as many (or as few) applications as desired. Monitoring a wide variety of applications provides a more comprehensive picture of a portfolio’s total health and helps to identify changes that need to be made as well as overall portfolio trends.

The SQA provides an analysis of one application, which can be repeated several times for up to two years. In doing so, an organization can identify necessary improvements and then run follow-up assessments to monitor the effectiveness of any changes.

“Every organization has applications in their portfolio that are more trouble than the others – our new offerings help to isolate the problem applications with RPA and fix them with SQA,” said Mike Harris, President and CEO of David Consulting Group. “Through the Application Code Quality CoE , DCG helps its clients managesoftware quality proactively by identifying key risks, prioritizing problems and enhancing the overall health of an organization’s portfolio.”

Companies seeking to utilize the Application Code Quality Center of Excellence can contact Tony Timbol (mailto:t.timbol@davidconsultinggroup.com) at 610-644-2856 with any questions or for more information.
