TROY, Mich., Dec. 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntel, a global information technology services and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) firm, today announced that it has become the first company to meet all certification requirements to join the HP Software and Solutions Services Provider Partner Program.
In order to qualify, Syntel was required to demonstrate a concentrated core of staff members certified in HP technologies and software, as well as implementation and consulting experience that meets HP's standards for the services provider partner program.
Syntel has built a dedicated HP competency center within its growing testing practice, focused on HP Quality Center software, HP Business Process Testing software and HP QuickTest Professional software. Syntel uses these products to form a centralized QA and testing platform that enables test automation, manages the software quality lifecycle and effectively standardizes a company's testing and quality processes.
"Syntel has a long history of leveraging HP products to help our clients boost software quality, improve speed to market, and derive the maximum value from their technology investments," said Darshan Dave, Director of Syntel's Testing Center of Excellence. "As an HP Software and Solutions Services Provider Program member, we will now have a greater ability to keep our staff up-to-date on the latest technologies, develop new solutions and quickly deploy them to deliver value to our clients."
Services Provider Partners have access to HP Software products for training, solution development and client demonstrations. Partners can also leverage a web resource called Partner Central for HP Software and Solutions, which helps them stay abreast of new product releases and provides access to product documentation.
