How Kiuwan can help me

Companies of all shapes, size and color need to develop software to support their business. Some companies develop their software themselves and some others use external providers to help them develop and maintain their business applications. There are companies that just have a few applications and others that have hundreds even thousands. Some rely in 1 or 2 technologies and languages only and others that have been adapting their technology stack over time and use several different languages and technologies.

No matter what the case is, all have the same needs with different levels of complexity, mostly depending on the size:

In most cases, these companies do not have the people and infrastructure needed to automate Security and Quality Assurance, Control and Certification Management for all developed software. Or cannot afford hiring an "on site" continuous certification service for their software.

Kiuwan is the answer for all these companies. Kiuwan can address all the above needs regardless of the size and the level of complexity of their development processes.

 

Beyond these corporate needs,  Kiuwan is designed to meet the needs of all the roles involved in any company Software Development Process. Again, no matter the size, complexity or color of the company,  Kiuwan has the right information to the right stakeholder in the IT department.
