Customer Quotes

MDS senior management decided that EssUP is the way for better quality, higher productivity and lower cost. This approach has helped the project team provide instant visibility about the project, but also helps the project team to decide what could be the best corrective actions. In practice, this has been proven to be highly valuable for both the project team and senior management.

Practices are a kind of competence that will be vital for MDS to serve its international clients on sourcing development.

Thought Leaders

"Real improvements in the way software teams work usually require cultural change resulting in a shift in attitudes and values. New practices and tools can be catalysts for this change, but ultimately it is the people and their shared values that matter most.  Without changes in values and collaborative behaviors, improvement efforts usually yield little in the way of real results."
