BOSTON, April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded
Technology Engineering Services, a practice within Technisource
Solutions and Randstad Technologies, one of the largest safety
critical embedded engineering services providers in North America, announced today that Jabil
Circuit, Inc. contracted Technisource Engineering for the embedded
software development for a medical device that relies on safety
critical software for all of its functionality. Categorized
as a safety critical product, Jabil's customer had identified the
embedded software as the highest risk component since the smallest
error could result in a patient's death and the need for FDA
regulatory approval. To date, Technisource has supported more than
75 projects with successful regulatory approval.
Jabil, a $16 billion company with
more than 100,000 employees, needed the highly specialized skills
that Technisource Engineering provides. "In this highly regulated
industry, Technisource not only understood the risks and rigors
associated with FDA regulatory approval, but they also knew how to
manage the software development process in a regulated
environment," stated Shane Smith,
director of engineering for Jabil. "They quickly put together a
team with precisely the skills we needed. Working collaboratively
with the Technisource Engineering Services team has provided us the
knowledge and experience to help us penetrate the rapidly growing,
multi-billion dollar medical device market."
In order to ensure a highly flexible and customer-focused
delivery model, Technisource deployed a two-phase approach
(discovery and execution) allowing them to first understand Jabil's
business and pain points before deploying a comprehensive project
plan. In the discovery phase, Technisource systems engineers
and project managers worked with Jabil's project team to map out
the scope of the project and gather extensive information, such as
the project's requirements, the number of existing lines of code,
what had been tested to-date and the status of FDA approval.
Phase II of the project entailed the creation and testing of the
software code in just a matter of months in order to meet the
client's aggressive deadline, with limited production in Q4 2012
and full production in 2013. Technisource also put in place a
proprietary quality assurance program to ensure a zero error
quality level for the software.
Jabil's client recently completed their first comprehensive
audit evaluating all aspects of the project (hardware, software,
manufacturing, quality assurance, etc.) grading each team with a
score between one and five. The software team, 80 percent of which
is comprised of Technisource engineers, was awarded a five for
excellent performance.
"Technisource's software engineers provided a level of service
that transformed what was the riskiest component of this project
into the highest rated in just a matter of a few months," said
Scott Boring, project manager for
Jabil. "No other firm could have provided the level of
expertise, flexibility and scalability that we received with
Technisource."
