Success Stories

Third-Party Testing Strategy and Automation - Quality Assurance Consulting

This nation-wide wireless CSP was launching a new business that required many third-party data feeds that could not be verified using traditional quality assurance processes. They required a team to determine how to validate and monitor these feeds for quality.

Excelacom established a centralized reporting process that increased companywide visibility and transparency on all the company levels, including stakeholders.

Automation of monitoring and reporting processes led to the streamlining of the anomalies' capturing, investigating, and resolving processes. The process fully supported the business goals of scalability and enabled companywide worry-free process implementation.
