Maveric has been pioneering the outsourcing model in software testing by virtue of its razor-sharp focus in banking & financial services, insurance and health care. Domain expertise in chosen areas helps us to understand client requirements quickly and completely, empowering our customers with a definite quality and cost advantage.

A multi-skilled talent pool ensures that Maveric remains tool-neutral in testing projects. Maveric has specialist tool-teams that bring in expertise in test automation and performance testing using industry standard testing tools.


Quick Ramp-up ability:
Timelines for testing engagements are typically tied to software release schedules of the development teams. Fast response time is a key expectation that most clients have and therefore Maveric has structured itself to be in a position to meet quick ramp up requirements of clients.

Exceptional management bandwidth, sound financial stability, and high levels of talent retention provide deep roots that sustain Maveric’s aggressive growth. Maveric currently executes testing projects in India (Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune) and London.


• Training:
  
A growing gap between demand and availability of trained testing professionals has led to the creation of a dedicated training academy within Maveric. We have over the years developed our own testing curriculum (short-term and long-term) for grooming testing talent. Maveric is also an ISEB accredited training provider for ISEB (Foundation) certification.

Among the various verticals that we focus on banking and financial services forms the largest component. Maveric has accumulated expertise across various components in banking and capital markets. Sub-verticals within banking and financial services today offer unique challenges to CTOs:

• Regulatory compliance requirement of banks has led to the development of a whole new set of products and services that are high on the agenda in most board rooms. Most testing engagements require high level of subject matter expertise.
  
• Reducing costs and being more responsive are the only avenues for increasing profitability today in developed markets. Most financial institutions therefore seek to continuously enhance and upgrade performance and functionality of their applications. Technology is completely transforming businesses today in the banking and financial services vertical.
  
• Technology sourcing strategies are continually in a flux between enhancements to legacy applications, buying third party components and outsourcing to service providers.

• The insurance business is turning global, especially as regards life & property and casualty & marine segments of non-life. The reinsurance on both sides is any way global-ready. This necessitates a system within a system for majority of the operations such as underwriting, policy management and claims.
  
• The rapid expansion of business channels for the various components of the operations leads to a complete re-definition of business processes and work flows.
  
• Growing third party feeds - data, analysis and key process - leads to a complete catharsis of the existing systems and practices.
  
• Protocols and standards are continually evolving in both their scope and definition and that by itself presents a serious challenge.
  
• Regulatory changes especially those that concern data, exchange of information among partners and reporting, warrant primary structural changes to systems and integration components.

Maveric's health care practice focuses on the provider, payer and the technology provider segments. Testing engagements are increasingly challenging because:

• Protocols and standards are continually evolving, both in their scope and definition.
  
• Technology sourcing strategies are continually in a flux between enhancements to legacy applications, buying third party components and outsourcing to service providers.
  
• Regulatory changes especially those that concern data, exchange of information among partners and reporting, warrant primary structural changes to systems and integration components.
  
• The core application on the provider side has been constant with minimal modifications but all the peripheral applications have undergone substantial changes largely due to the fact they are interfacing the application to other systems.
  
• The plurality of specializations and divergent data requirements of payers, on medical cases relating to specialties, impact significantly the number of data components that are carried in the system.
