Surecomp, a financial services solutions provider, announced Wednesday it signed a deal for the QA services contract with Beijing-headquartered Bank of China Limited.
China’s number two bank is a major driving force in promoting China’s economic and social progress through its involvement in the country’s international trade and financial activities, a news release said.
One of the major building blocks in the Bank’s drive to build a market-driven, client-oriented, world-class financial services institution, with a robust corporate governance structure capable of delivering outstanding performance over a long-term, is the establishment of a dedicated Quality Control Center. The first Chinese bank to institute a dedicated Quality Control Center, the department will govern and manage the Bank’s IT solutions and optimize application quality, performance, and availability, the company said.
The Bank of China contract secured by the Surecomp Beijing center includes the implementation of automated testing tools developed by Mercury Interactive, a global Business Technology Optimization software and services provider – and a comprehensive range of IT support services.
“Surecomp’s reputation as a leader in the development of software solutions is unparalleled,” Matthew Chen, general manager of Surecomp China. “We see this hard won contract as the first of many as the other major Chinese banks review their plans for the establishment of dedicated Quality Control Centers.”
“Chinese banks understand that by shifting their focus from managing IT projects to optimizing business outcomes they will lower overall IT costs, reduce risks, and optimize growth opportunities while addressing strategic IT initiatives and optimize enterprise application environments such as J2EE, .NET, and ERP/CRM” concluded Matthew Chen.
