At Lighthouse Technologies, Inc., we are here to assure that our clients get the best value for their IT dollar. We do that by providing full lifecycle software quality management services for large software development projects, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations, and large commercial package deployments.

Most organizations manage software projects by reviewing cost and schedule. While this is necessary and important, it is not sufficient. We have discovered that project success is directly related to the quality and completeness of the work products. Our guiding principle is “Software defects found earlier in the development cycle are less expensive to find and fix.” By finding and removing them early in the development cycle, you avoid costly rework. And, unplanned rework is the number one reason for project overruns and cancellations.

We take the surprises out of the game. All of our solutions focus on maximizing the success drivers and mitigating the failure drivers for software systems. We offer independent verification and validation (IV&V) as well as vendor quality management services to assure your software vendors are delivering what you expect. Our test teams use scientific methods to target the highest risk areas of the system and ensure all defects are removed. We are experts at requirements and design inspection and we establish measurable exit criteria for each and every document. That’s how we assure that the defects are removed early and throughout the lifecycle, avoiding unplanned rework … and unplanned surprises.

We stay independent so we are not biased by any vendors, technologies, or products. This is critical so that you get an honest-broker's view of the situation. If you outsource some of your projects, we are your assurance that they deliver to your expectations. If you have an internal development team, we work with you to assess where they are, build a comprehensive roadmap to maximize their productivity and quality, and establish systems to continuously set goals, measure their performance, and make your projects successful.
