Investment in quality for development & testing environments

Profit Software is investing in Lab Manager – a solution for secured quality in product development and testing environments. In deploying Lab Manager, which is a package for controlling virtual devices, Profit will further automate its processing environments and increase the quality of delivery processes.

As a product based solution provider for financial and insurance companies, Profit Software is a pioneer and first company in Finland to deploy Lab Manager from the Finnish IT service provider Appelsiini. Lab Manager enables robust and simple testing with no disruption to others using the same environment. Lab manager is a cost-efficient solution providing benefits to everyday technical business processes.

- This new technology solution means new working methods in our development process and a further boost to our market competitiveness, says Hannu Salminen, vice president of Profit's Product and Technology Unit.

The purchase of VMware Lab Manager, built for controlling virtual environments, is a major investment but brings proven positive effects and results. Unnecessary costs are minimized due to the safe and easy testing without disturbing others and their processes.

-The creation of a typically complex testing environment takes only minutes with Lab Manager. At the same time you can continue working in other environments without interruption. New working methods enabled by Lab Manager mean a good working atmosphere and increased results, adds Salminen gratefully.

 
Cost-efficient working methods 

Lab Manager makes the control of virtual environments easy. -You can get the most out of your workday when development processes are in one single place and your responsibilities are clear, says Marko Keinänen, director of Appelsiini. Also scalability is easy with Lab Manager, both vertically and horizontally. There is no need to purchase hardware, since everything is just a mouse click away.

We are pleased with this investment. Lab Manager is the perfect solution for the future, both for technical and for financial reasons,” adds Salminen. ‘We no longer have to pay for unused virtual devices. Instead we remove them with one easy mouse click. With Lab Manager we will make our operations better.”
