Atio Corporation recently announced its exclusive business partnership with US-based Radview. Radview, a leading provider of software solutions, facilitates and accelerates the successful implementation of high performance e-business applications.
Commenting on the partnership, Deirdre Ackermann, MD of Atio eCommerce says: "Radview is at the forefront of the e-assurance market. The software enables companies to ensure that their mission critical web applications will perform and scale well to the demands of the internet."
The quest for quality and speed in e-business solutions demands not only a commitment to excellence, but also a means of achieving it. RadView`s WebLoad family of software solutions has been developed specifically to facilitate and coordinate testing and analysis throughout the e-Business development life cycle.
Continues Ackerman, "the Radview technology is award-winning software that offers a complete solution around internet operating conditions. It allows companies to effectively analyse, interpret and report on the performance of Web applications."
The Atio eCommerce division sees the partnership as an important strategic move because e-Business expands and evolves at a pace that was unimaginable a few years ago. However, there is nothing fictional about the need for quality in these solutions. As e-Business grows and spreads across various industries, upping the quality quotient for these solutions turn from being a choice to becoming a necessity. If your web presence through sluggish performance makes the site visitor yawn and click, your company has lost a prospect. Every day, e-Businesses must climb the steep hill of quality assurance. Quality must be a primary concern as early as possible in the development life cycle, and must remain so throughout the entire life cycle of the application.
The revenue potential through expanded reach and lower cost per business transaction possible with e-business has significantly intensified demand for rapid development of applications that drive business processes with a higher degree of efficiency. This has resulted in increased development and integration complexity, demanding high standards for application quality. Applications deployed without thorough and well managed testing and verification run the risk of executing inaccurate transactions, sub-standard performance or outright failure. Given the stakes involved in continuously delivering e-business applications, the prudent IT organization must integrate continuous testing into the development life cycle.
"Globally companies are beginning to understand the importance of their Web site`s integrity. Companies spend a fortune on web development and then allow the functionality and effectiveness of the site to collapse. Our aim is to take this technology into the South African market place and educate companies around the importance of website integrity. Radview has proven this globally to their customers who include American Express, Compaq, Dell, HP and Sun Microsystems."
With this leading technology partnered with the Atio`s innovative approach, consulting and eCommerce expertise, we feel positive about making an impact on the SA market.
