Bank of the West chose AppLabs to help streamline their Quality Management framework to enhance application health, business performance and improve customer experience.

AppLabs will provide end-to-end testing services for the Regional Banking Group's IT division and help in establishing standard QA practices across the group. To begin, AppLabs will focus on manual functional and automation testing of mainframe applications and incentive compensation management applications using AppLabs' proprietary tools, methodologies and frameworks. AppLabs anticipates improving the overall productivity of test cycles by 30 to 40% by leveraging its proprietary eTAP (Enterprise Test Automation Platform).

"Before selecting AppLabs we looked at plenty of outsourced technology vendors -both domestic and foreign. But, we were looking for a testing specialist to get the highest level of domain expertise in testing. We found the right partner in AppLabs to take us from good to great in testing as we continue to deliver innovative products and services to our customers. By collaborating with the industry leader in testing, we will sharpen our own focus on understanding and exceeding our customers' needs", said Andy Olveira, Vice President at Bank of the West.

"Bank of the West's selection of AppLabs is testimony to the phenomenal value AppLabs delivers as the Quality Management thought leader to the financial services industry. We are excited to play a pivotal role in Bank of the West's success", said John Carmody, Senior Vice President of AppLabs.
