HiQ helps Anoto quality-assure its digital pens

HiQ has been assigned by Anoto, the world leader in digital pen and paper
technology, a project for quality assurance of Anoto's own digital pen.  Anoto
was first out in the world with this unique technology - today licensed to
around 250 different partners over the world. Since June 2008 Anoto has also
launched pens under the Anoto brand. 

Anoto's unique technology is based on digital pen and paper. The digital pen
feels like an ordinary ballpoint pen, but contains an integrated camera that
reads a pattern of numerous black dots almost invisible to the naked eye. The
data, based on the black dots, is stored in the pen and can then be transferred
to a computer via either a docking station or a mobile phone.

HiQ's assignment is to ensure quality and functionality, at system level, for
two applications in the pens. The assignment covers test specifying and test
management as well as actual test execution, delivered via HiQ's student pools
concept.

“HiQ provides an attractive service and is very experienced in this type of
assignment. The work has been very well organised and implemented, and we are
very pleased with what HiQ has done,” says Henrik Sällman, Forms Development
Manager at Anoto.

“HiQ Skåne has been delivering total solutions within quality assurance and
testing throughout its life, so we are used to customers' problems of short lead
times, expectations of high quality and the constant pressure to do the job as
cost-effective as possible. The assignment for Anoto is a good example of how we
can benefit from the structural capital and experience that we have built up
over the years to deliver an effective solution,” says Jon Carvell, Managing
Director of HiQ Skåne.
