Successful deployments of products yield new challenges – demand for new features, upgrades on latest technologyplatforms and improvements on price-performance ratio. But it is difficult for businesses to keep upgrading software due to lack of resources, people, money and time. As a result, problems that require sustaining engineering arise. In such scenarios, significant engineering efforts require funded projects for the re-design, qualification and other technical-related activities leading to improvement of parts implement in the fielded systems. The need for sustaining software engineering services that include sustaining porting engineering, sustaining product engineering and sustaining quality-engineering services becomes vital.
For the major customers of our clients requiring one-off special product versions, Xoriant provides comprehensive sustaining software engineering services, custom development, testing and quality engineering, porting servicesthat accelerate software non-standard product upgrades and extend offerings for new markets.
Many of our clients face situations where some of their major customers do not upgrade their environment to the latest product versions. Since these customers have made major customizations and enhancements to the older product versions, migration to the newer version becomes extremely difficult. In such cases, our clients find it difficult and expensive to maintain their engineers’ supporting and enhancing the older versions. This is where Xoriant as a sustaining product engineering service company comes in. In many of these situations, Xoriant has provided sustaining quality engineering services and has taken over full support of the older versions, including the source code and the version control environment, thus dedicating a team to support end-of-life products. This creates a win-win solution for both, our clients and their customers.

My experience with Xoriant is that they have a team that is technically very competent especially in the Java/J2EE area and also professional in its development approach.” - Ulrich Klein, Director of Engg, Wireless Gateway Software Company.
