Comarch’s role in the certification organization environment
For 28 years, Comarch has helped clients of major Polish and international brands reach higher productivity thanks to implementing innovative IT solutions. We are a company with a strong technical background and global presence. We generate USD 380 million revenue, employ 6500 experts, have 57 subsidiaries and affiliates, and operate in 100 countries.
One of our sectors is professional services, backed by a team of dedicated engineers, testers, project managers, pre-sales and sales experts. We commercially support certification organizations at individual stages of standards development. Our solutions and services help alliances in the creation of certification programs such as tool development, process automation and consulting services.
At the same time, we support other members of the organizations in the process of spreading and implementing new standards. As an example, we also work with ATLs (authorized test laboratories), for which we provide tools, training and other services to facilitate the certification cycle.
Our engineers, with their knowledge of the certification environment, have a better understanding of challenges that new and mature alliances have to deal with every day.
Importantly, Comarch acts as a commercial partner and a member of certification organizations if such need arises.
Comarch has been a reliable partner in the certification environment since 2007, when we created a new version of the Certification Tool for UPnP. Over the years, we’ve worked with various organizations and gained knowledge of how to support certification bodies at each step of the creation of certification programs, as well as aiding such organizations’ members in adopting technologies. Cooperation with leading standardization organizations has helped us to build our own portfolio of products and services for certification alliances.
Our experience and successful track record in test tools and certification infrastructure development for global standardizing organizations (see below) enables us to position our team as an equal partner in projects.
Our expertise in the certification environment includes:
- Test tool development – stand-alone/cloud
- Development of test automation systems
- Pre-testing
- Implementation of test scripts and unification of test results
- System integration
- Support and maintenance services based on SLA
- Virtual plug-fests
Comarch has developed test tools for numerous organizations using various technologies and meeting different requirements. In recent years, the experienced members of our team dedicated to working in certification-related projects has successfully delivered solutions for the most well-known certification alliances.
