The Project
The company wanted to focus their core technical team on mission-critical application development and establish a relationship with an experienced IT outsourcing organization that could augment their in-house quality assurance team.

These products had long development cycles and Whitelight required a relationship with an organization that could provide a stable team for approximately three years with minimal turnover.
