Centers of Excellence
ASTA' endeavor to offer high quality IT solutions and services is further strengthened by the Centers of Excellence (CoE). The global CoEs focus on continuous development of people, processes, offerings, assets, and methodologies. From technology tracking, development of offerings to address specific needs of customers, supporting software development to managing assets and knowledge, the CoEs function like a centralized hub of knowledge.
Some CoEs around specific technologies include IBM, SAP, Oracle, Adobe, WebLogic, Vignette, Sun, and Microsoft .NET among others.
Asta uses Centers of Excellence (COEs) to foster excellence, encourage knowledge sharing and innovation and build competency in specific technologies or industry areas. Key goals from our Centers of Excellence model:
Support process maturity and high quality
Maximize efficiency and increase cost effectiveness
Aggregate decentralized teams and provide an organized, central organization
Build and retain world-class methodologies, tools and infrastructure processes
Provide efficient management and utilization of highly skilled and best fit associates
Support building deep application and domain-specific knowledge

Quality Framework
ASTA' ability to deliver high-quality services and solutions is unmatched. It became the world's first organization to achieve an enterprise wide Maturity Level 5 on both CMMI® and P-CMM®, using the most rigorous assessment methodology - SCAMPISM. ASTA' Integrated Quality Management System (iQMSTM) integrates process, people and technology maturity through various established frameworks and practices including IEEE, ISO 9001:2000, CMMI, SW-CMM, P-CMM and 6-Sigma.
ASTA' focus in quality has helped its customers adopt the quality standards and best practices and benefit from operational and business excellence.
Acquire, Grow and Retain High Value Customers
Asta believes the key to long-term sustainable growth lies in the ability to identify, acquire, grow and retain high-value customers. The competitive environment today has never been more complex and fierce. Customers are more demanding and have greater choice in the marketplace. Companies must identify and retain their most valuable customers in order to survive, and those companies that can consistently acquire and grow new high value customers become leaders in their industry.
Asta follows a well-defined project execution methodology. The Asta Organization's Standard Software Processes (OSSP), developed and maintained by a dedicated Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG), drives Asta's project execution methodology.
The OSSP defines the SDLC processes, Procedures, Manuals, Guidelines, Formats and Templates to be used by projects. In addition, the SEPG also maintains the Process Database of published results, artifacts of past projects, library of reusable components and training material. The Project Managers and the Software Engineering Team are well trained in the use of OSSP for their projects.
The Asta Methodology addresses various requirements from Project Acquisition, through Project Execution to Quality Assurance.
