An Example Case Study

The following case study shows how the Atrial Systems’ Quality Assurance service was used at a leading world-renowned microprocessor company, ARM, located in Cambridge.

ARM, an existing Atrial client required highly skilled manpower resources for their SQA department who were competent in software and test suite development. In addition, they required all this to be achieved in a short timescale so that the client could meet its Release to Manufacture requirements.

Atrial provided the required technical resources with skill sets that surpassed ARM’s expectations. In addition, resources were made available within a month of the initial meeting. The highly skilled Atrial workforce was flexible enough to work in two different locations.

When additional technical help was asked for, Atrial immediately made these available over a short period of time to assist the SQA department of ARM.

In keeping with the Atrial ACE business model, multiple staff have been engaged by ARM, all remaining within Atrial’s resources for future return support when required, on site or by phone.
