Key Findings & Highlights:
Planit is a long-established specialist in software quality, founded over 25 years ago and now part of Japan’s Nomura Research Institute (NRI) group. Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, it has a notable presence in the ANZ and APAC markets and is expanding in the U.K. The company has evolved from its roots in training and assurance into a pure-play QE provider. Its positioning has shifted over time: once focused on being the largest independent testing firm, Planit now emphasizes being the most trusted quality specialist in its markets.
Planit’s QE practice is structured around Automation, Performance, Security & Assurance, with AI increasingly becoming a cross-cutting pillar. The team is anchored by domain experts, including figures with academic and industry standing. The practice spans over 20 industries, with a particular focus on BFSI, energy & utilities, retail, and government. Platform specialization is central, with dedicated capabilities for SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Workday, Oracle, and ServiceNow.
Planit continues to maintain a boutique-at-scale positioning, with a specialist focus on QE rather than generalist IT services, yet with the scale and governance to support global programs. Its client engagement model blends outcome-based, unit-based, and managed services, increasingly aligned to AI-driven delivery and support.
Buyers looking for a specialist QE provider, especially in regulated sectors and platform-heavy transformations, should consider this vendor.
