Key Findings & Highlights:
Germany headquartered Software Quality Systems (SQS) was founded in 1982. With revenues of ~€321m (~$349m) in 2015 and ~4,600 employees (at end of 2015), SQS is the largest software testing pure play globally.
Since 2009, the company has undergone a transformation of its business model, expanding from its background in QA consulting and onshore testing delivery and expanding its presence in India for addressing multi-year managed testing services contracts (Managed Services, MS). SQS has also repositioned its onshore service offering away from staff augmentation (Regulated Testing Services, RTS) and wants to grow in specialized services (Specialized Consultancy Services, SCS).
