Volvo is well known for their focus on quality. They wanted Logica to help them further this quest for better quality, but at the same time lower costs and improve operations. Logica has since 2007 helped Volvo do this through a centralised approach to requirements management and testing of their IT applications.

Our Answer

We worked with Volvo to provide a solution geared to their business needs. Our approach included:

Securing the existing delivery
We appointed a delivery manager and provided additional resources where it was required

Assessing test management
After analysing the current situation, we designed the transformation process.

Transforming Volvo
The first step was to define the scope of the project. We followed this up with detailed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and assigning roles & responsibilities. Next, we ensured that Volvo would have a local team close by that they could interact with, while some of the testing services were delivered from our global delivery network in low cost locations.
