Wirtek and RTX Telecom have renewed a contract that for the present will be in
force until December 2010. A test team at Wirtek's outsourcing center in Cluj,
Romania, is made available to RTX Telecom for testing of products and software.
Wirtek continues its successful concept of Customer Teams in Romania, where the
customer gets his "own department" at Wirtek's facilities, including dedicated
employees, own computers, own network - provided by Wirtek, who also takes care
of all administrative and HR obligations.
“The test team provided by Wirtek in Cluj has been well integrated as a
cross-functional resource pool within RTX Telecom. Now any project manager in
RTX Telecom can allocate a tester in Cluj to his project, whenever he needs to
perform product or software testing either at prototype level or as part of a
product release. The test team provides us with a high degree of flexibility
and we can now do unit test in parallel with development to optimize our
project staffing and keep our developers focused on development, while ensuring
that bugs or defects are found early in the development process and thereby
increase quality and productivity. Most importantly, we can tie the cost of
testing directly to each project and compare test efforts with project output,”
says COO Niels Henrik Olesen.
Secure Facilities
Wirtek offers secure test facilities having access restricted to the test team
only, electronic key cards, separate camera surveillance, and secure IT
infrastructure. The facilities in Cluj have recently been successfully assessed
during a security audit by one of the world's leading electronics
manufacturers. As part of the renewed contract RTX Telecom's test team is
moving to a larger secure project room in the Wirtek facility allowing
expansion of the team as well as accommodating larger hardware test
environments.
“For RTX Telecom, security at the outsourcing facility is very important, as
several tests are made on products at prototype level. We are satisfied that
only RTX Telecom team members can access the secure room and that no
information is shared with others outside the team,” says COO Niels Henrik
Olesen.
Romania in the European Union
While some test centers in Eastern Europe have had problems getting goods
through customs etc., the fact that Romania is part of the European Union means
that all such problems are avoided. It also means that it is very easy for
test team members to visit the customer premises for project introduction and
training.
