Virtusa receives recognition in Everest Group Report

Virtusa has received recognition in a recent Everest Group report for its innovative Software Development Productivity and Right First Time Solution, ERA Insight, and Employee Engagement and Gamification platform, V+. Everest Group, a leading global management consulting firm that advises business leaders on the next generation of global services, cited Virtusa’s solutions in its May 2014 report: “In Search of ADM Productivity”.

The report specifically mentions ERA Insight, Virtusa’s Right First Time and Productivity Governance Solution used to drive personal excellence among developers, and V+, an award-winning Millennial engagement platform that incorporates social media artifacts such as individual websites, internal social networks and daily leader boards highlighting top-performing teams, to drive employee engagement and collaboration. Virtusa’s approach has delivered “impressive results”, including a 97-per cent reduction in defects, a 45-per cent reduction in customer order creation time and a 14-per cent increase in cost savings in various client engagements Virtusa has been involved in.

“IT buyers are becoming increasingly frustrated by their inability to measure and improve productivity across software development initiatives, and the increasing pressure to bring down costs is met by cutting corners, resulting in even more painful consequences later on. Our new approach, which capitalizes on our longstanding product engineering heritage, tackles this challenge head on by providing the means to measure previously hidden aspects such as technical debt and productivity from the developer upwards, driving strong ownership and engagement. We are honoured that Everest Group recognized our leadership in its recent report,” said Chandika Mendis, Senior Vice-President & Global Head of Engineering, Virtusa.

As a company whose workforce is 86 per cent Millennial, Virtusa has made it a top priority to create an environment that not only retains Millennial employees, but also engages and empowers them to do their best work.
