We have introduced agile and DevOps methodologies during this implementation and intend to continue to use these methods to further develop additional features and capabilities on this platform.

We are looking for a Partner with extensive experience in delivering high quality software solutions in an outsourced agile manner and will be willing to work within the constraints of the tools, processes and standards that Anchor have defined. Key to the success of this relationship will be clear communications, structured processes for delivery and strict adherence to Anchor?s processes including meeting all QA and Testing requirements.
