  • Bill Birnie
    Head Of Business Solutions, Standard Life

    "Application development is key for companies today - and improving quality, time to market and flexibility are essential.  Even more important for long-term sustainability is being able to consistently improve how your internal teams work.  We're believers in agile and the blend of hands-on coaching and strategy provided by emergn has been invaluable for our agile enablement initiative."

  • Erin Smith
    Managing Director, Global Services, British Telecom Design

    "Ad-hoc sourcing strategies are having a negative impact on the IT delivery industry and it's refreshing to hear emergn address these problems – and offering real solutions – tied to an executive team of experienced experts.  Moving to adopt agile practices is key to supporting this view."

  • Mike Croucher
    Head of Software Engineering, British Airways

    "emergn has been a great asset in helping us begin our transition from a combination of waterfall-DSDM to agile at British Airways.  emergn's agile consultant-coaches have repeatedly demonstrated their exceptional knowledge and experience in agile, including software development best practice and organizational change.

    emergn enhanced our passion for quality and focus on business value through a pragmatic and hands-on combination of just-in-time training and coaching while working with the teams to deliver projects in real-time. Here at British Airways, emergn has collaborated with us to create high performance and passionate teams that we've all become so proud of.

    Working with emergn has been a valuable experience that has rippled through our organization and continues to reverberate as more and more teams go agile. I would strongly recommend emergn to leaders who want to kickstart organizational change; transitioning to agile practices and using continuous improvement to drive forward their organization and people."

  • Curtis Robinson
    Senior Analyst, IDC

    “emergn’s initiative is right on track and, if current market dynamics don't force companies to consider sourcing models that allow for more cohesion between business and IT, then I really think those companies are not giving themselves the best chance to succeed in the current (and subsequently future) business environment.  As companies continue to bring their delivery capabilities closer to their clients, this approach just makes sense. I think current economic conditions, while challenging, present even larger opportunities for enterprises that are looking to deliver to clients in a more seamless, timely, and open manner.”

  • Rona Shuchat
    Director of Application Outsourcing Services, IDC

    "Enterprises are expected to remain focused on driving increased operational efficiencies into their organizational fabric, even as aggressive cost cutting approaches are slowed in 2010. This will involve leveraging third-party experience, across technical, process and vertical layers of expertise, to drive portfolio modernization in support of product and service innovation. Optimized sourcing strategies and use of agile frameworks will play a fundamental role in supporting the push toward lower operational costs and tighter alignment of IT with business transformation."
