COA Consulting, a U.S.-based IT solutions provider with a world-class Offshore Development Center in Hyderabad, India, offers clients the best of both worlds by integrating on- and offsite project managers, business analysts and software engineers with an offshore development team to achieve significant cost savings, while ensuring on-time delivery of the highest quality IT solutions.

�Our foundation is our commitment to establishing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our clients,� said Paul Champaneria, CEO, COA Consulting. �Our corporate culture is built on a client-centric philosophy of integrity, creativity and innovation that drives every decision we make and infuses our entire team with a passion for excellence, superior client service and continuous improvement that keeps COA Consulting at the forefront of cutting edge technologies.�

It was that client-centric focus, reputation for quality service and ability to provide both onsite and offshore development teams that attracted MG Consulting Group when the IT consulting and system integration firm was seeking an outsourcing partner with strong management and technical capabilities. They selected COA Consulting to augment their U.S.-based development group with an offshore team that included architects, software engineers and quality assurance testers who could operate as an extension of the firm�s own development team.

�The offshore team they formed for us was top-notch, not only in their technical skills, but also their communication skills and their �get it done� attitude,� said Mitesh Gandhi, CEO, MG Consulting Group (www.MGConsultingGroup.com). �COA Consulting helped us reduce our development costs by close to 60 percent while maintaining our clients� target delivery dates. In addition, they help us with our staffing needs in the U.S. by providing highly qualified candidates quickly.�

� Internationalization of Applications

The firm also offers hosting and application management services in its Tier 1 Data Center in Piscataway � a feature that played a key role in MDS Trader�s selection of COA Consulting to develop a sales and customer management solution.

Part of MDS Group PLC, a publicly owned company with offices in Gibraltar, United Kingdom, Australia, U.S. and Europe, MDS Trader (www.MDSTrader.com) provides traders and investors with an advanced trading software. The company utilized COA to develop a state-of-the-art customer relationship management (CRM), sales for automation and billing system, as well as a front-end promotional website to market its Market Analyzer Software.

�Their business analyst group was very thorough and did a great job helping us define our requirements and creating the functional specs, and the development team provided us a with a prototype user interface that we signed off on before development began to ensure that the system was being developed to our needs,� said Chris Macnee, Managing Partner, MDS. �Our assigned project manager kept us in the loop by providing weekly reports, and our application was delivered on time, with minimal issues during user acceptance testing. COA also hosts and manages our system in their data center, providing us with a true end-to-end solution.�

It was a similar experience for Frequency

Foods (www.FrequencyFoods.com), an online retailer of high-quality, effective health and nutrition products, which utilized COA Consulting to develop an e-commerce system, including shopping cart, and to implement an ERP system.

�COA Consulting consistently goes above and beyond to deliver quality projects,� said Frequency Food CEO Chris Clausing. �Their technical skills lived up to our expectations, they were able to understand our requirements and have been extremely responsive to our company�s needs.�
